The SICAM Q100 is a multifunctional device for the detection, processing, and evaluation of measured quantities and events according to IEC 61000-4-30, class A, power quality (PQ) standard. The energy management
functions also allow determining load profiles and setting up to 6 tariffs. The device is used on all voltage levels
of power supply systems. SICAM Q100 is used in 1-phase systems and in 3-wire and 4-wire systems (with neutral conductor). The device is mainly used by power utilities but also in other industrial and commercial sectors.
In addition to the measuring function, SICAM Q100 features various recorders (for example, measured value
recorders) to record the measured quantities and the load profile in programmable time intervals. Long-term
data and events are analyzed and output as report according to power quality standards, for example EN
50160.
The input circuits for voltage measurement are galvanically isolated and can be used in IT, TT, and, TN
networks. To ensure galvanic separation for current measurements, the lines connected to the current
measuring inputs are galvanically separated from the current transformers.
The measurements are obtained from the alternating quantities of current and voltage supplied to the AC
inputs. When no external voltage and current transformers are used, the device can process rated input
alternating voltages of up to V
The integrated web server can be used to set the parameters and display the measured values on HTML pages
from the connected computer. With the internal graphic display, a limited parameterization via softkeys can be
carried out on the front panel and measured values can be output via the display.
= 230 V (110 V for UL condition) and rated input alternating currents up to 5 A.

Functionality of the Recorders
The recorders are capable of recording measured quantities, events, and load profiles in parameterizable time
intervals. The following recorder types are used:
•Measurement recorder: recording of PQ measured quantities acc. to IEC 61000-4-30 (for example,
frequency, voltage magnitude, etc.) and non-PQ measured quantities (for example, currents, power, etc.)
over parameterized periods, for example, 10-second frequency, aggregation of voltage, current, power
etc.
•Trend recorder: long-term recording and monitoring of the voltage change history over a parameterized
period of time in programmable tolerance ranges; 1/2 cycle RMS values
•Fault recorder: recording of sampled values of voltage and current using programmable triggers,
maximum 256 samples per cycle
•Event recorder: recording of maximum 256 frequency events and voltage-unbalance events each, as well
as voltage events of which the maximum counter depends on the memory configuration
•Mains signalling voltage recorder: recording of mains signalling voltage on the supply voltage.
The device features a 2-GB memory for storing the recorder data.
Energy Management
As part of the energy management, SICAM Q100 records load profiles according to the Fixed Block and Rolling
Block method for all power quantities. Additionally, it is possible to calculate up to 6 tariffs (TOU = Time of Use).
The synchronization is made with external or internal triggers.
Communication
SICAM Q100 has an Ethernet interface and an electric RS485 interface.
Ethernet supports the device parameterization, transmission of measured data, metered values, load profiles,
and indications/events and the time synchronization with NTP. The communication protocols used are HTTP,
Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850 server.
The RS485 interface supports the transmission of measured data, metered values, load profiles, and indications and the time synchronization. The communication protocol is Modbus RTU.
The integrated Ethernet switch in the device allows cascading further network components (SICAM
subdevices) via a Y cable and integrating them in an existing network with IEC 61850 or another Ethernet protocol.
Time Synchronization
During operation SICAM Q100 needs the date and time for all time-relevant processes. This ensures that a
common time basis exists when communicating with peripheral devices and enables time stamping of the
process data. The following types of time synchronization can be executed:
•External time synchronization via Ethernet NTP (preferred)
•External time synchronization via fieldbus using the Modbus RTU communication protocol
•Internal time synchronization via RTC (if external time synchronization is not available)
Parameterization
Parameters are set using an internal Web browser with HTML pages from the connected computer. Internet
Explorer 6 (or higher) is required for this purpose. Devices featuring a display offer a limited parameterization
function using the front softkeys.

3.1Mechanical Design
The device is designed for panel flush mounting. The electrical modules are installed in a plastic case with the
dimensions 96 mm x 96 mm x 100 mm (W x H x D).
The display side of the device contains the display, 4 softkeys located below and 4 LEDs of which the H1, H2,
and ERROR LEDs can be parameterized. The ERROR LED can only be parameterized for error messages.
The device top side holds the RJ45 Ethernet plug connector with 2 LEDs. 4 additional LEDs are identical to the
LEDs on the display side. At the cover of the battery compartment there is a labeling strip for the configurable
LEDs H1/H2 and a battery symbol that indicates the polarity. The label is also located on the top side and
provides among other information the most important rated data of the device. A lithium battery is located under
the removable cover of the battery compartment.
SICAM Q100 devices can also contain a D-sub connector plug as RS485 interface (see Figure 3-1) as shown
in the ordering information (see Chapter 2.2).

4.1.1Measuring System
SICAM Q100 devices measure the power quality according to IEC 61000-4-30 in 1-phase or multi-phase
distribution systems.
The basic measuring interval for determining the values for mains voltage, harmonics of mains voltage, and
mains voltage unbalance is 10 cycles for 50 Hz distribution systems or 12 cycles for 60 Hz distribution systems.
A overview of the measured quantities demanded in according to IEC 61000-4-30, their measurement
uncertainty and measurement ranges is represented in the Chapter 4.3.1.
4.1.2Flicker
The flicker measurement is performed according to IEC 61000-4-15.
The short-term flicker value Pst and long-term flicker value Plt are determined for phase-to-ground voltages
and delta voltages. The flicker measurement is performed on all 3 voltage channels.
Flickers appear with a frequency from 0.005 to 35 Hz. The instantaneous flicker value is displayed in
perceptibility units P.
SICAM Q100 measures the following flicker types:
•Short-term flicker value Pst, determined over 10 min (short-term flicker), fixed
•Long-term flicker value Plt, over 2 h (12 Pst values), fixed
•Perceptibility Pinst
