  • Page 10: Preparation Of The Measurement Application

    4. Preparation of the measurement application 4.1 Connecting to the measurement device 4.1.1 Connection via LAN interface Before devices can be connected to an existing Ethernet network, you have to ensure that they will not disturb the normal network service. The rule is: None of the devices to connect is allowed to have the same IP address than another device already installed This also applies if the network only consists of a PC and the measuring device.
  • Page 11 The following settings have to be arranged with the network administrator: - IP address: This one must be unique, i.e. may be assigned in the network only once. - Subnet mask: Defines how many devices are directly addressable in the network. This setting is equal for all the devices.
  • Page 12 Time synchronization via NTP protocol For the time synchronization of devices via Ethernet NTP (Network Time Protocol) is the standard. Corresponding time servers are used in computer networks, but are also available for free via Internet. Using NTP it's possible to hold all devices on a common time base. Two different NTP servers may be defined.
  • Page 13: Connection Via Wlan Interface

    4.1.2 Connection via WLAN interface Via the WLAN dongle up to 10 devices (mobile phone, tablet, laptop or similar) can be connected wireless.  For devices with camera the QR code on the nameplate can be used for joining directly the network of the measurement device.

  • Page 19: Pq Monitoring

    4.4 PQ monitoring Power quality monitoring provides both a statistical evaluation, allowing an assessment of compliance with standards (e.g. EN 50160) or supply contracts, as well as records of events in the grid (e.g. power voltage dips). This facilitates the analysis of causes and effects. Conformity reports may also be created directly via the website of the device.
  • Page 20: Pq Statistic

    4.4.2 PQ statistic Power quality (PQ) is assessed by a comparison between the PQ parameters measured by the device and the limits of a contract agreed upon. The assessment period is usually at least one week to take into account possible variations between weekdays and weekends. Via its website the device can perform an assessment of the measured PQ parameters in accordance with the following standards: EN 50160...
  • Page 21: Alarming

    4.5 Alarming The device supports an alarming concept independent of power quality events. Depending on the user requirements, simple or more advanced monitoring tasks may be realized. The most important objects are limit values on base quantities, monitoring functions and the summary alarm. 4.5.1 Limit values on base quantities Using limit values either the exceeding of a given value (upper limit) or the fall below a given value (lower limit) is...
  • Page 22: Monitoring Functions

    4.5.2 Monitoring functions By means of monitoring functions the user can define an extended condition monitoring, e.g. for triggering an over-current alarm, if one of the phase currents exceeds a certain limit value. The states of all monitoring functions …will be shown in the alarm or event list (via menu “Events”) …build a summary alarm state Logic inputs Up to three states of limit values or other monitoring functions.
  • Page 23: Summary Alarm

    4.5.3 Summary alarm The summary alarm combines the states of all monitoring functions (4.5.2) to a superior alarm-state of the overall unit. An alarm is signaled with a flashing bell: Acknowledgment: By acknowledging the summary alarm, the user confirms that he has recognized that an alarm state occurred.

But the number of non-linear loads, such as RPM regulated drives, rectifiers, thyristor controlled systems or fluorescent lamps, is increasing. They cause non- sinusoidal AC currents, which may be represented as a sum of harmonics.
