    1.- DESCRIPTION This manual is aimed to familiarize de user with the operation of the portable analyzer models AR5 / AR5-L when working with the “Disturbances version” of the power line quality program. To get all necessary information about operation instructions and safety warnings of the portable analyzer consult its instruction manual (code M98151101).
  • Page 4: Operation Mode

    1.2.- Operation mode The analyzer takes 40 samples per cycle between the L1 and Neutral voltage inputs when working in single-phase mode. The analyzer takes 40 samples per phase and cycle when working in three-phase mode (40x3=120 samples per cycle). The difference between each sample and the previous one is calculated by the analyzer, so that this difference is then compared with the maximum slope calculated.
  • Page 5 Values to be user-programmed: - Rated Voltage : Vn = 10 to 500 V - Voltage limits : From 100% to 50% of peak voltage - Trigger Level TL = de 1.2 a 5 - Rated Frequency: Fn = 45 to 65 Hz Calculated parameters : - Scale : Auto-scaling according to the rated voltage.

    Figure 2 Previous figures (Figure 1 & 2) show disturbances detected due to the maximum slope permissible value (according to user-define magnitudes) has been exceeded between two successive samples. Figure 3 Figure 3 shows another type of disturbance (voltage sag) where no value exceed for a cycle the 75% of the pre-defined peak voltage (Vpeak = Vn ·...
