°dP ase Angle degrees. (± 180°)
Measures time from the positive zero crossing of the fundamental of the selected volts or amp PREF. 360° represents one cycle at the fundamental or selected
armonic frequency. A positive sign indicates that the positive zero crossing of the measured cycle comes earlier than (leads) that of the reference.
Note
For the Watts hscreen, the phase angle always shows the relation of Amps to the Volts PREF at the same frequency. Cosφ calculations are based on this definition.
A RMS | Amps RMS (includes dc component if using dc capable | |
| current probe). | |
A PK | Peak Amps (1/2 | |
A DC | Amps DC. | |
A HM | For a current waveform, A HM identifies the total | |
| harmonic current present. | |
A LEAD | Amps Lead Volts | |
| Evidence of capacitive reactance in the system; the | |
| current waveform precedes the voltage waveform. | |
A LAG | Amps Lag Volts | |
| Evidence of inductive reactance in the system; the | |
| current waveform occurs after the voltage waveform. | |
CF | Crest Factor | |
| Ratio of a waveform’s peak value to its rms value. | |
