INSTRUMENT SETUP - ALL HDPQ INSTRUMENTS

POWER QUALITY MEASUREMENT FUNCTIONS - ALL HDPQ

INSTRUMENTS

The Dranetz HDPQ offers both automatic and manual
setup methods allowing users to be immediately
productive, and to begin monitoring within minutes.
Automatic setups are the quickest and easiest way to
start monitoring in just a few steps. When connected
to an energized circuit, the instrument automatically
detects the circuit type, nominal voltage/current and
displays them for review. The user can then set the
current probe type and start monitoring immediately.
The instrument will configure itself using triggers
based upon the IEEE 1159 +/- 10% of nominal
recommendations. Automatic setups are available for
both Power Quality and Demand/Energy.

Wizard setups are also available for the user to have
complete control over the instrument’s setup and
triggering. The Wizard setup guides you step-by-step
through each setup category. Wizard setup categories
are: Probes/Scaling, Wiring Configuration,
Nominal/Frequency, Monitoring Mode, Trigger Limits,
and Finalize. Each category is randomly accessible and
guides the user through the settings available in each
setup screen. The instrument will also inform the user
of potential setup errors, such as mismatches between
the circuit type setting and the circuit type
automatically detected.

The Dranetz HDPQ family of instruments offers the
latest in Power Quality, Demand and Energy
measurement, and monitoring capabilities. Each
Dranetz HDPQ product is Class A compliant with IEC
61000-4-30:2008 and also supports EN 50160:2010, IEEE
1159, IEEE 519:2014 and IEEE 1453.

Data Acquisition

Each Dranetz HDPQ instrument samples every cycle of
each voltage and current channel 512 times. Sampling
is gapless, which means each voltage and current cycle
is continuously sampled without gaps between cycles.
Sampling is controlled by a Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
circuit that is referenced to channel A voltage by
default, with other references available, including
current. The PLL automatically adjusts the sampling
rate to the power line frequency to ensure that the
instrument always acquires 512 evenly spaced samples
per cycle for every channel. Therefore, any variation
in the power line frequency adjusts the sampling rate
accordingly. This translates to a sampling rate of

30.72KHz at 60Hz and 25.6KHz at 50Hz. Switchable
Anti-Aliasing filters are available for strict compliance
with IEC 61000-4-30 Class A. Note that switching in
such filters may limit the transient response of the
instrument. The instrument is Class A compliant with
Anti-Aliasing filters switched either on or off.

The data acquired by the above process is digitized by
a 16-bit Analog to Digital (A/D) converter and is used
as the foundation for all voltage, current and power
measurements, and computations that are available in
the instrument.

This technique of data acquisition is appropriate for
low and medium frequency transients as defined by
IEEE 1159. At 512 samples per cycle, the time between
samples is about 32us at 60Hz and 39us at 50Hz, which
is adequate to record transient activity on most power
systems. The Dranetz HDPQ Xplorer and Xplorer-400
have additional high speed transient circuitry for 1

microsecond transient detection.

Power Quality Triggers

RMS Triggers

In accordance with IEC 61000-4-30 and other
standards, RMS measurements are computed over one
cycle, but incremented in ½ cycle steps. IEC standards
refer to this as Urms(1/2). It’s important to note that
the measurement window for PQ triggers is always 1
cycle, but the ½ cycle increment allows for more
detailed event detection. Any one cycle exceeding the
instrument’s limits will trigger an RMS type event,
regardless if it’s detected on a ½ cycle boundary.

Xplorer and Xplorer-400 having additional circuitry to
also capture high speed transients. It is important to
note that the Dranetz HDPQ goes well beyond the
requirements of IEC 61000-4-30 and EN 50160. In
addition, the Dranetz HDPQ family employs the
methods used for voltage transients to trigger on
current transients.

Transient trigger methods available are:

 Instantaneous Peak – All Dranetz HDPQ
 Cycle to Cycle Waveshape – All Dranetz HDPQ
 RMS Difference Waveshape – All Dranetz HDPQ
 High Speed Sampling – Xplorer, Xplorer-400

Instantaneous Peak

This trigger uses the RMS sampled data and looks for
any one of the 512 samples to exceed the
Instantaneous Peak limit. If at least one sample
exceeds the limit, data is recorded to memory based
upon the user’s pre/post waveform settings.
Applications for this trigger are events such as peak
over voltage (or current), lightning strikes, etc.

If a trigger occurs, data is stored to memory in
accordance with the RMS Summary and Waveform (# of
cycles recorded) settings entered during setup. Like
other Dranetz products, Dranetz HDPQ detects and
records current RMS events in the same manner as
voltage. Please see the instrument user’s guide for
further details.

In addition to PQ triggers, the Urms(1/2) data is used
as the basis for all voltage and current min, max and
average measurements with a 1 cycle resolution with
½ cycle steps.

Transient Triggers

As per IEEE 1159, transients are divided into three
categories:

 Low frequency (<5Khz)
 Medium frequency (5 – 500Khz)
 High frequency (500Khz – 5Mhz)

All Dranetz HDPQ instruments have extensive transient
capture capabilities. Each can capture low and
medium frequency transients, with the Dranetz HDPQ

Waveshape Triggers

Waveshape triggers look for changes in each and every
waveform on a cycle-by-cycle basis. These are
important triggers, as many types of transients do not
affect the waveshape enough to change the RMS or
harmonics significantly. Therefore, traditional RMS
triggers will not detect these events.

There are two waveshape trigger methods available:

 Cycle to cycle waveshape
 RMS distortion (or difference) waveshape

Both methods look for changes in the waveshape by
comparing the present AC cycle to the previous AC
cycle. If the difference exceeds the user’s limits, an
event is recorded. Both methods have been available
in prior Dranetz products. Even though these are
similar trigger methods, both remain available since
some users prefer one over the other. Both methods
are available for voltage and current triggers.

Shop for Power Metering products online at:

www.PowerMet erStore.ca

1.800.561.8187

Cycle to Cycle Waveshape

This method breaks down the present AC waveform
being measured into user defined windows of time
(shown below in the circle) that represents a
percentage of the overall waveform. Each window is
compared to the same window of time in the previous
waveform, and if the difference exceeds the user’s
limits, an event is recorded. In the picture below, the
duration (width of the window) is 10% (1.67ms @60Hz),
which means the waveform is broken down into 10
consecutive windows, with each representing 10% of
the overall waveform. If the duration were 50%, the
waveform would be broken down into 2 windows, with
each representing 50% (8.3ms) of the overall
waveform.

harmonics, and interharmonics. The 200ms window
equates to 12 cycles at 60Hz and 10 cycles at 50hz. A
10 cycle 50Hz example is shown below. In addition,
Class A compliance requires the 200ms windows to be
gapless, meaning that any processing by the
instrument must be completed in time to process the
next 200ms window without any gaps between
windows. Being Class A, the Dranetz HDPQ family fully
complies with these requirements.

RMS distortion (or difference) waveshape

This method performs a (sample) point-by-point
subtraction of the previous waveform from the present
waveform. If the waveforms are the same, the
difference will be zero; otherwise the difference will
be the change in waveshape from the previous to
present waveform. If the difference exceeds the
customer’s limits, an event is recorded.

High Speed Sampling – Xplorer, Xplorer-400

High frequency detected transients use special
circuitry to detect and capture transients as small as 1
microsecond in duration. These transients can be
positive and/or negative values above or below the low
frequency waveshape.

Magnitude of Supply 200ms Window

IEC 61000-4-30 and IEC 61000-4-7 require data be
acquired over a 200ms window for use in certain
measurements, such as magnitude of supply,

Harmonics & Interharmonics

Harmonic & Interharmonic computations are in
accordance with IEC 61000-4-7 and IEEE 519, which
dictate that harmonic analysis is done using a
synchronous 200ms window of 10 cycles for 50Hz, or 12
cycles for 60Hz. Successive 200ms windows are
gapless. This results in frequency bins that are
nominally 5Hz wide. The actual width of the bin is
equal to the actual frequency divided by 10 if the
nominal frequency is 50Hz, and 12 if 60Hz. For
example, if the actual frequency is 49.9 Hz, the bin is

4.99Hz, but is labeled “5Hz”.

All harmonic based triggering of the Dranetz HDPQ is
based upon the (DFT) harmonic analysis and
computations of each 200ms magnitude of supply
window. Results are used for all harmonic parameters,
computations and triggers. Therefore, 200ms is the
smallest unit of measurement for harmonic type
parameters and is the basis for all associated min,
max, and average measurements.

Harmonic parameters include:
VTHD, ITHD, VTID, ITID, K-Factor, TIF, TDF, User
Specified (individual) Harmonics, Mains Signaling
Frequencies, and other parameters.

Please see the parameter list below for a complete list
of parameters.

Voltage Flicker

Voltage Flicker computations are in full compliance
with IEC 61000-4-15 and IEEE 1453. Flicker is a
phenomenon due primarily to small, rapid fluctuations
of the voltage. Loads that exhibit continuous, rapid
variations in the load current, particularly the reactive
component, can cause voltage variations, often
referred to as flicker. Flicker is characterized by
modulation at a frequency that is typically less than
25Hz. Modulating signal magnitudes as low as 0.5% of

Shop for Power Metering products online at:

www.PowerMet erStore.ca

1.800.561.8187

the fundamental for frequencies between 5-10Hz can
result in perceptible light flicker.

Voltage Flicker parameters include: PST, PLT, PLT
(slide), and Pinst.

Please see the parameter list below for a complete list
of parameters.

Unbalance/Imbalance

Unbalance is the relationship between the magnitude
and phase angle of power system phases. A three
phase power system is considered balanced when the
magnitude of the voltage and current in each phase is
equal, and each phase is separated equally by 120
degrees. Any change from this ideal indicates an
Unbalance (Imbalance). Depending on your geographic
region, different references may be used, so the
Dranetz HDPQ supports several methods of computing
Unbalance:

V/I Sequence:

Positive, Negative, and Zero sequence components for
both Voltage and Current.

V/I Unbalance:

Voltage Unbalance (RMS/RMSAverage), Voltage
Unbalance (S2/S1), Voltage Unbalance (S0/S1), Current
Unbalance (RMS/RMS Average), Current Unbalance
(S2/S1), Current Unbalance (S0/S1), Voltage
Imbalance, and Current Imbalance.

Please see the parameter list below for a complete list
of parameters.

For monitoring, users can set Journal intervals that
record data at pre-determined timed intervals,
regardless of whether or not trigger conditions have
been met. Four independent Journal time categories
are available: Power (V, I, W, etc.), Demand/Energy,
Harmonics, and Flicker. Depending on the parameter,
the Journal interval timer can range from seconds to
minutes to hours. Once Journal intervals are recorded,
the user can trend the minimum, maximum, and
average of most enabled parameters. Trend graphs can
be configured in a stacked or overlayed display mode
and are ‘zoomable’ to magnify any data of interest.

REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE - ALL HDPQ INSTRUMENTS

The Dranetz HDPQ has many reporting functions
available, and the user can choose the reporting
method that best suits the needs of the application.
Basic reporting (such as real-time meters), historical
trends and event lists show data in its basic form. More
advanced reporting, such as EN 50160 compliance,
Dashboard alarm panels, and a Mini-Report are also
available. Like all Dranetz portable products, the
Dranetz HDPQ is fully compatible with Dran-View 7
Power Quality, Demand and Energy analysis, and
reporting software.

Real-time Meters, Trends and Event Lists

All parameters available in the Dranetz HDPQ can be
metered in real-time, trended over time, and can have
trigger conditions enabled to record details of changes
in each parameter. The resolution of each trigger is
parameter dependent.

Real-time meters display the instantaneous value of
each parameter, which is updated about every second.

Event lists are available to indicate any triggered
events recorded to the instrument’s database. The
event list appears in chronological order, and the user
can scroll the list and select any event for further
analysis. Both time and type filters are available for
the user to select a specific time period to display, as
well as the type of event, such as RMS or Transient.

Compliance – EN 50160:2010

EN 50160 is a European standard for the statistical
analysis of power quality data. The statistical package
called Quality of Supply (QOS) is built into the Dranetz
HDPQ, with monitoring and setup protocols available
to determine compliance with the EN 50160:2010
standard. The EN 50160-required measurement
parameters include Power Frequency, Supply Voltage
Variations, Rapid Voltage Changes, Supply Voltage
Unbalance, Harmonic Voltage, Interharmonic Voltage,
and Mains Signaling. The monitoring site is said to be
IN COMPLIANCE if the statistical value over one week
for the specified parameters is 95% or greater. The EN
50160 options setup allows users to define up to five
mains signaling frequencies below 3KHz. Users can also
select pre-defined values for main voltage
characteristics of the electricity supplied.

it can be treated individually for emailing,
incorporating in other documents, or any other use.
Mini-Reports can be sent to your colleagues or
customers to easily share monitoring information, or
sent to Dranetz Technical Support for assistance with
the instrument setup, operation, interpretation of data
or other questions.

Reporting

Any instrument can provide trends and event lists

detailing what’s been recorded during a power survey,

but users want results quickly. The Dranetz HDPQ
reporting functions make analysis quick and easy by
summarizing survey data and results in easy-to-use
formats. When combined with the advanced remote
control capabilities of Dranetz HDPQ, users can easily
see their results from anywhere with connectivity to
the instrument.

Mini-Reports

The Dranetz HDPQ Mini-Report is a fast and easy way
to generate custom reports directly from the
instrument’s front panel. Mini-Reports are a
compilation of user snapshots of any screen shown on
the local Dranetz HDPQ display. By simply pressing the
Snapshot (camera) button on the front panel, a .bmp
file containing a picture of the screen presently
displayed is added to the Mini-Report. The Mini-Report
is stored in an .xml format and can be uploaded to any
computer, Tablet, or Smartphone for viewing in a web
browser. Once uploaded, users can annotate the Mini­Report and add comments or make any changes using
Microsoft Word or any other .html editor. Users can
keep the file in a .xml format or “Save As” and convert
to .doc, .rtf, or other formats. Also, each screen image
displayed in the Mini-Report is a separate .bmp file, so

Dashboard Alarm Panel

The Dashboard alarm panel is a combination of real­time measurements and triggered data on one screen,
summarizing your monitoring survey in one easy-to-use
reporting screen. The Dashboard is an alarm panel with
cells that represent real-time meters and recording
status of parameters being measured. Cells are color­coded so the user can easily know if events have been
recorded for the parameters displayed. For Power
Quality, Voltage and Current cells are green or red
indicating if HI or LOW trigger conditions have been
met. Green cells indicate no alarms or events have
been recorded for that parameter. A red cell indicates
an alarm condition and that an event has been
recorded for that parameter. By pressing the cell, the
user can view details of the event(s). For Harmonics,
Flicker, Power, Demand, Energy, and other
parameters, HI/LO and VERY HI/VERY LO triggers are
available to indicate both warning and severe
conditions. For such parameters, HI/LO alarms are
indicated by a yellow color and VERY HI/VERY LO
alarms are indicted by a red color. Once the user has
reviewed the Dashboard, the alarms can be cleared
and all red and yellow cells will return to a green color
until the next alarm condition occurs. A grey color
indicates monitoring for that parameter is disabled.
