Power quality configuration

Use ION Setup to configure sag/swell and advanced power quality logging.

Note: For waveform recording to trigger automatically, enter your system’s nominal (normal) voltage and current values and the amount of deviation from the nominal that is considered a sag or a swell using the Metering > Basic or Alarming screen

Note: Changing your meter’s data logging (including burst data logging) and waveform recording configuration clears your meter’s existing data logs, waveform records and COMTRADE waveform files.

Before setting up the Power Quality (PQ) parameters, make sure the meter is configured correctly:

• Metering parameters such as volts mode and PT/CT ratios
• Time sync settings, for integrating the meter in an energy management system such as EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert
• Nominal system parameters (nominal volts, nominal current and nominal frequency), for detecting power quality events
• Amount of deviation from the nominal that is considered a sag or swell

Make sure you understand:

• The structure of the meter’s logging framework
• The meter’s existing logging configuration
• Your data logging requirements

Changing the meter’s data recorder and waveform recorder configuration clears existing data and waveforms in those recorders.
