Legal information Warning notices In this document warning notices are used, which you have to observe to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to property. Depending on the degree of danger the following symbols are used: If the warning notice is not followed death or severe personal injury will result.
Service and maintenance personnel Planners Scope This handbook is valid for all hardware versions of the PQ3K / PQ5K. Some of the functions described in this document are available only if the necessary optional components are included in the device. Required knowledge A general knowledge in the field of electrical engineering is required.
A full parameterization of all functions of the device is possible directly at the device or via web browser. The PQ3K/PQ5K fulfills all requirements of a class A device in accordance with the power quality standard IEC 61000-4-30 Ed.3.

7.6 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.
7.6.2 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 consider 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: ...
7.7 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, the monitoring of fault-current, monitoring functions and the summary alarm.
7.7.2 Monitoring fault-currents Each (optional) fault current module provides two channels for monitoring residual or fault current. For each of the channels an alarm and a pre-warning limit can be defined, which can be used as follows: … Activating a summary alarm when the alarm limit is violated, or a breakage occurs (2mA input only) …...

7.7.4 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 list (“Events” via main menu) …build a summary alarm state Logic inputs Up to three states of limit values, fault-current or temperature monitoring, logic inputs or other monitoring...
7.7.5 Summary alarm The summary alarm combines the states of all monitoring functions MFx to a superior alarm-state of the overall unit. For each monitoring function you may select if it is used for building the summary alarm state. If at least one of the used functions is in the alarm state, the summary alarm is also in the alarm state. If an optional failure-current monitoring is present, the detection of an alarm state or a breakage of the measurement line (2mA inputs only) activates directly the summary alarm.
7.8 Data recording The data logger provides long-term recordings of measurement progressions, events and PQ statistics. The recording is performed in endless mode (oldest data will be deleted, as soon as the associated memory is full). Group Data type Request ...

Reactive power Most of the loads consume a combination of ohmic and inductive current from the power system. Reactive power arises by means of the inductive load. 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.
