5.6 POWER AND ENERGY MODE

The Power and Energy button displays power and energy measurements. The sub-menus available depend on
which filter is selected:
■ For 2- and 3-wire single-phase connections and for the 2-wire 2-phase connection, only L1 is available. The filter is
therefore not displayed; but the display is the same as for L1.
■ For the 3-wire 3-phase connection, only the Σ filter selection is available. The filter is therefore not displayed, but the
display is the same as for Σ.

Energy Meters (this button is not available for the 3L filter)
Energy consumed (active, reactive, and apparent power) (this button is only available for the 3L filter)
Energy generated (active, reactive, and apparent power) (this button is only available for the 3L filter)
On the right side of the screen are a set of filters: 3L, L1, L2, L3, and Σ. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to choose the filter.
The values displayed on the Power and Energy screens are dependent on which of these filters is selected; different data
will appear for different filters. The following sections describe how these screens appear for the 3L, L1/L2/L3 (all three
display the same fields), and Σ filters.
NOTE: This screen corresponds to the choice "non-active quantities separated" in the AR tab of the Calculation Meth-
ods menu in Configuration mode. If the choice is "non-active quantities combined" the D label (distortion power) does
not appear, and Q1 is replaced by N. This non-active power is unsigned and has no inductive or capacitive effect.
