Name and Description

°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 peak-to-peak value).

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.
