Viewing Disturbance Direction

View Disturbance Direction to analyze the likely origin of voltage disturbance events in your power system.

   NOTE: The Disturbance Direction filter settings only apply to the following Power Quality alarm or incident types: Interruption, Under Voltage, Over Voltage, Sag, Swell, Unclassified Disturbance, Transient.

2. Find the alarm instance or Incident for which you want to view Disturbance Direction and click Open Details to open the details window.

   TIP: Alarms or incidents with Disturbance Direction information are tagged with an Upsteam or Downstream indicator.

3. In the details window, view the Disturbance Direction information of the representative disturbance for this alarm or incident.
