Methods of Logging

Calculation of THD in Measuring Function PTHD – Measuring Function P

Function P does not measure harmonic values.

Voltages:THDV = VRMS 2 V12

V1

VRMS: RMS value of total signal

V1: RMS value of the fundamental

Currents: THDI = I RMS 2 I12

I1

IRMS: RMS value of the total signal.

I1: RMS value of the fundamental.

Note

THDI for currents < 5% of IE (measuring range) can have additional uncertainties, or can be suppressed.

Harmonics up to 50th order are taken into account.

Flicker

Flicker is the visual impression of unsteadiness in a light source whose luminance or spectral distribution changes over time. Flicker is logged in accordance with the IEC 61000-4-15 standard. The short-term (st) flicker Pstt is logged over a default standard interval of 10 minutes, and is used to calculate the long-term (lt) flicker Plt (by taking the sliding average of 12 short-term values). The interval value can be changed as needed in PQ Log.
