  • Page 14 The classic algorithm has been slightly modified for SICAM Q80 7KG8080. Thus, within a tolerance band of 5 % around the nominal voltage, the algorithm works at its default accuracy of 1,5 %, while outside of this band it works at twice that level, namely 0,75 %.
  • Page 15 The most familiar example is so-called ripple control signals. SICAM Q80 7KG8080 has three special channels, each with different time resolution, for monitoring signal voltages. 1. In addition to the harmonics and interharmonics, the mean voltage level at signal frequency is also recorded.
  • Page 16 The spectra produced by the FFT can be viewed immediately by means of the online monitoring, for which purpose no aggregation are computed. The special channel for the signal voltage recorded with data reduction (ripple control signals) is fed directly from the FFT.
