Button Functions

BUTTON
Returns to previous menu.
Configures the PowerPad
Takes a snapshot of the current screen or access screens already stored in the memory.
Records associated waveform and power measurement data.
Gets help on the current display functions, in the language chosen by the user.
Transients or Inrush Current:
• Sets and views transient and inrush current waveforms associated with rapid changes in input
Harmonics Mode:
• Displays the harmonics in percent and value ratios for voltage, current and power for each harmonic
through the 50th
• Determines harmonic current produced by non-linear loads
• Analyzes the problems caused by harmonics according to their order
(heating of neutrals, conductors, motors, etc.)
Waveforms Mode:
• Displays voltage and current waveforms or vector representation
• Identifies signal distortion signatures
• Displays of amplitude and phase unbalance for voltage and current
• Checks connections for correct phase order
Alarm Events:
• Provides a list of the alarms recorded according to the thresholds programmed during configuration
• Logs interruption with half-cycle resolution
• Determines energy consumption exceedances
• Stores value, duration, date, time and set point for up to 4096 events
Trend Mode:
• Lists all recording trends and views them on the display
(Urms, Vrms, Arms, etc.)
Power / Energy:
• Displays power levels and the associated parameters (power factor, displacement and tangent)
• Energy monitoring
• Four quadrant measurement to discern source/load active energy and inductive/capacitive reactive
energy
120V ± 10%, 60Hz
230V ± 10%, 50Hz
