Power quality measurements

Your meter monitors the voltage channels to detect and record power quality events.

Disturbance event recording

The meter measures and records sag/swells (ITIC/CBEMA and SEMI curves).

Power quality standards logging

Available on: Advanced and Standard

The meter logs power quality standards data according to:

  • EN 50160
  • IEC 61000-4-30
  • IEEE 519

The features available on your meter differ between feature sets. For more information on feature set differences, see PM8000 series overview.

Advanced power quality features

The meter supports advanced power quality features:

  • Disturbance Direction Detection: The meter can capture sag/swell disturbances, analyze the information, and determine the direction of the disturbance relative to the meter. Determining the source of a disturbance more quickly and accurately helps prevent repeat occurrences and also helps to minimize facility downtime.

    Disturbance Direction Detection is only available on Advanced and Standard.

  • COMTRADE: The meter can save waveform data in COMmon format for TRAnsient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) format. COMTRADE data is available for download using an SFTP client application.
  • Setpoint learning: You can configure your meter to learn certain disturbance-related values. For example, what constitutes a sag, swell, or high or low setpoint.
