1.1Procedure for Investigating Power Supply
Quality
By measuring power supply quality parameters, you can assess the power supply's quality and
identify the causes of various power supply malfunctions. The PQ3198's ability to measure all
power supply quality parameters simultaneously makes this process a quick and simple one.
This chapter describes the power supply quality investigation process.
• Principal electrical system
(Large copier, uninterruptible power supply , elevator, air compressor, air conditioning compressor, battery
charger, cooling system, air handler, time-controlled lighting, variable-speed drive, etc.)
• Electric distribution system
(Conduit [electrical conduit] damage or corrosion, tr ansformer heating or noise, oil leak, circuit breaker
operation or overheating)
1
When does the issue occur?
• Does it occur continuously, regularly, or intermittently?
• Does it occur at a specific time of day or on a specific day?
2
What type of investigation (measurement) should be performed to find the ca use?
(It is recommended to measure voltage, current, and possibly power continuously. By analyzing voltage and
current trends when the issue occurs, it will be easier to pinpoi nt the cause of the problem. Additionally,
simultaneously measuring multiple locations is an effective way to quickly identify the cause.)
• Outlets and other points of power supply for electric and electronic equipment
3
What is the expected cause?
• Voltage abnormalities (RMS value fluctuations, waveform distorti on, transient voltages, high-order harmonics [noise at frequencies of several kHz and above])
• Current abnormalities (leak current, inrush current)

One instrument does it all!
How does the PQ3198 record abnormal waveforms?
The instrument automatically judges and records a range of problems.
Transient voltages
Transient voltages are caused by lightning strikes, circuit-breaker and relay
contact obstructions and tripping, and other phenomena. They are often characterized by precipitous voltage variations and a high peak voltage.
Flicker (ΔV10, IEC)
Flicker is caused by blast furnace, arc welding, and thyristor control loads. The
resulting voltage fluctuations cause flicker in light bulbs and similar phenomena.
Voltage dips (falling voltage)
Short-lived voltage drops are caused by the occurrence of a inrush current with
a large load, such as when a motor starts.
Interruptions
In an interruption, the supply of power stops momentarily or for a short or long
period of time due to factors such as a circu it breaker tripping as a result of a
power company accident or power supply short-circuit.
Voltage swells (rising voltage)
In a voltage swell, the voltage rises momentarily due to a lightning strike or the
switching of a high-load power line.
Harmonic and high-order harmonic elements
Harmonics are caused by distortions in the voltage and current caused by the
semiconductor control devices that are frequently used in equipment power
supplies.

: It is recommended to use the PW6001 or PW3390 for high-precision measurement. Although this instrument may
yield different voltage readings than the PW6001 and PW3390 due to differences in measureme nt band, it shoul d
yield approximately the same current and power values as the PW6001 and PW3390 since current waveforms
approach the fundamental wave. It can also be used to measure the efficiency of DC/3-phase inverters.
