Note

The LED OK is red if no valid sensor can be detected.

The limits for ‘Signal too low’ and ‘Signal too high’ are equal to the
thresholds for voltage dips and voltage swells (e.g.

For current inputs ‘Signal too low’ is indicated for half cycle or full cycle
rms values below 10 % of the sensor range as configured in the “Hardware
Settings” panel (if sensor is set to “Auto” the “Signal too low” indication
is deactivated).

‘Over range’ is indicated if the input signal is outside the valid
measurement range.

The phase voltages UL1, UL2, and UL3 of a three-phase system are monitored with the
symmetrical components (zero, positive and negative system). If the negative system
exceeds an upper threshold a wrong phase sequence condition is indicated (e.g. two lines
interchanged); the associated LEDs are flashing in sequence L3-L2-L1.

Design and Functions 1

XW Warning

The LEDs do not indicate whether there is voltage. Do not rely
on the LEDs to find out whether the device under test is live or
not.

D Ethernet port

Used for connection of the Recorder to an Ethernet port of a PC, or to an Ethernet
network (LAN). For a connection to an Ethernet network use the supplied Ethernet cable.
For direct connection of the instrument to a PC use the cross-linked Ethernet cable (with
the red plug).

E 2 USB connectors

The USB type A connectors for connection of a USB memory device, USB version V2.0
is supported.

USB connectors have the following function:

• USB stick support for storing of measurement data (same as external CF card).

CF card LED behaviour during USB copy process:

• copy process started --> flashing LED

• copy process finished and all data copied --> LED goes off

• copy process finished but not all data could be copied --> LED is turned on statically

• on error --> fast flashing LED for approx. 3 seconds then statically on

USB stick must not be pulled out while CF card LED is flashing. This can
cause permanent damage to the storage media. Only remove CF card /
USB stick while CF card LED is OFF or statically ON. Do not use CF card
or data connection at the same time.

assurance evaluations and location of disturbance sources. A large compact flash data
memory provides a method of effecting long-term recordings. All data is saved even
without connection of the instrument to an evaluation computer. No information will be
lost. The recordings are the basis for detailed evaluations and analyze to assess
disturbances and the mains voltage quality. The instrument records and provides
historical event data, which protective relays or protective switches have induced and
how the resources have performed.

transforms this delta system into a virtual Wye system by calculating virtual phase
voltages. This virtual Wye system is in turn used to calculate the power values of all three
phases as well as the total power. This method is applicable only if I1 + I2 + I3 =0, i.e. if
there is no neutral conductor.

3-Wire Network with Two Current Sensors (ARON2 Method, Open Delta Method)

The conventional two-wattmeter method with current sensors at phases L1 and L3 is
frequently used in the medium voltage networks with built-in current and voltage
converters.

The device calculates IL2 = -IL1 - IL3. Two phase-to-phase voltages (U12, U32) are
measured. The third phase-to-phase voltage (U23) is calculated. The recorder then
transforms this delta system into a virtual Wye system by calculating virtual phase
voltages. This virtual Wye system is in turn used to calculate the power values of all three
phases as well as the total power. This method is only applicable, if I1+I2+I3 = 0, i.e. if
there is no neutral conductor.

Parameter Aggregation

Signal Sampling

The device samples measurement signals at a nominal frequency of 10.24 kHz at nominal
power frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz respectively.

The sampling frequency is synchronized to the power frequency on the reference channel
CH1, the signal level has to be at least 10 % of the input range. The required PLL (Phase
Locked Loop) is realized in the firmware of the instrument.

The synchronization range is according to IEC 61000-4-30 class A:

• Range for 50 Hz systems: 50 Hz ±15 % (42.5 Hz - 57.5 Hz)

• Range for 60 Hz systems: 60 Hz ±15 % (51 Hz - 69 Hz)

• Resolution: 16 ppm

Aggregations

The time aggregation2:02:05 PM of the measurement values is according to IEC 61000­4-30 class A, section 4.5 based on 10/12 cycle values (10 cycles for 50 Hz and 12 cycles
for 60 Hz nominal frequency).

N

in

The following time aggregations are available:

• Half cycle, full cycle updated every half cycle, 200 ms (precisely: 10/12 cycle
values), 3 s (precisely: 150/180 cycles), 10 minutes, 2 hours, Free interval ( ≥ 10
seconds)

• Half cycle and full cycle values are based on the zero crossings of the
fundamental

3-13

1760

Users Manual

• The 10/12 cycle values are aggregated from 2.048 samples synchronized to the
power frequency

• The 3s (150/180 cycles)-intervals are derived from 15 consecutive 10/12 cycle
intervals

• The 10 minute and free interval values are based on the synchronized 10/12 cycle
values

• 2 hours interval is aggregated from 12 – ten minute intervals

• The 10 minute values are synchronized to the absolute time (e.g. via GPS time

sync option)

Power Frequency

For 10 s frequency values, the sample data are filtered by a 2
cut-off frequency is 50 Hz for 50 Hz nominal frequency and 60 Hz for 60 Hz nominal
frequency). Based on the filtered signal whole periods within 10 s intervals (taken from
the internal real time clock) are counted by detecting the zero crossings. The frequency is
calculated by dividing the number of whole periods by the duration of this number of
whole periods. The time interval is derived from the timestamps generated by the
hardware of the first and the last sample within the block of whole periods. A special
calculation method is used for the frequency measurement related to the 10 ms and 20 ms
(half/full cycle) rms values. The measured frequency is the sync frequency of the PLL
which is refreshed every 200 ms (based on the FFT evaluation).

Voltage, Current rms Values, Min-/Max-Values

Half cycle rms is synchronized with the zero crossings of the fundamental component.
The fundamental component zero crossing is calculated from 200 ms FFT. Half cycle rms
is available as real half cycle rms and/or as full cycle rms, updated every half cycle.

The extreme values (Min-, Max-values) are derived from the half cycle rms values or full
cycle rms values updated every half cycle (whatever is configured in the “Nominal and
Limit Values” settings panel in PQ Analyze.

The interval values are averaged squared over the respective time interval.

FFT – Fast Fourier Transformation

FFT is calculated using an algorithm which is optimized for real input and complex
output with 2.048 points. As long as the PLL controlling the sampling frequency is
locked, no window function is applied. If locking cannot be established, a Hanning
window is used. The FFT is caclulated over 200 ms intervals and therefore results in a
frequency spectrum of 1024 5 Hz bins (DC to 5115 Hz).

Calculation of Power Parameters

Two different sets of power parameter calculations are used. One for aggregations of
200ms and higher the other one for half and full cycle aggregations.

Harmonics and Interharmonics Parameters

Voltage and Current Harmonics and Interharmonics

Voltage and current harmonics are calculated based on a 10/12 cycle (200ms) averaging
interval. This interval contains exactly 2048 sample values. From these samples 1024
FFT bins (5Hz) are calculated.

The harmonics are then calculated using a gapless harmonic subgroup assessment.

The interharmonics are calculated using a gapless interharmonic centered subgroup
assessment.

Harmonics and interharmonics calculation as per IEC 61000-4-7:2002 section 5.6 (no
smoothing).

K-Factor and Factor K

The two parameters are meant to assess transformer losses.

Harmonic currents are generated whenever a non-linear load is connected to the mains
supply. The problems caused by harmonic currents include overheating of cables,
especially the neutral conductor, overheating and vibration in induction motors and
increased losses in transformers. Where power factor capacitors are fitted, harmonic
currents can damage them and care must be taken to avoid resonance with the supply
inductance.

Losses in transformers are due to stray magnetic losses in the core, and eddy current and
resistive losses in the windings. Of these, eddy current losses are of most concern when
harmonics are present, because they increase approximately with the square of the
frequency.

There are two distinct approaches to accounting for this increased eddy current loss in
selecting a transformer. The first, devised by transformer manufacturers in conjunction
with Underwriters Laboratories in the United States, is to calculate the factor increase in
eddy current loss and specify a transformer designed to cope; this is known as ‘K-Factor’.
The second method, used in Europe, is to estimate by how much a standard transformer
should be de-rated so that the total loss on harmonic load does not exceed the
fundamental design loss; this is known as ‘Factor K’. The figures produced by each
method are numerically different; ‘Factor K’ is a total rating factor while ‘K-Factor’ is a
multiplier (although a de-rating factor can be derived from it). The fact that both methods
use K as a designation can lead to confusion when talking to suppliers.

Signaling Voltage

Ripple Control Signals

The frequency of the ripple control signal of the local utility can be defined in the PQ
Analyze software in the trigger settings dialogue. These signals are calculated from the
FFT results. The FFT bin related to the signaling voltage is calculated from the rated
signaling frequency and the nominal power frequency (derived from the 50 Hz or 60 Hz
setting in the PQ Analyze software) using 2.048 samples per 10/12 cycle interval with

10.24 kHz sample rate. If the signaling voltage corresponds to the frequency of a FFT bin
within 1 % (referred to the bin spacing), only this bin is used. Otherwise, the rms values
of four neighboring FFT bins are added, giving the rms value of the signaling frequency.
200 ms and 3 s aggregations are available.

Unbalance, Overdeviation, Underdeviation

Unbalance

The unbalance (imbalance) is derived from the symmetrical components as per IEC

Input filter

Each channel is equipped with a passive low-pass filter, an anti­aliasing filter and a 16-bit A/D converter. All channels are sampled
synchronously with a common quartz-controlled clock pulse.

The filters protect against voltage transients and limit the signal rise
rate, reduce high frequency components and especially the noise
voltage above half the sampling rate of the A/D converter by 80 dB,
thus achieving very small measuring errors in an exceptionally large
amplitude range. This is also valid under extreme operating
conditions like transient voltages at the output of converters.
