8.1 MEASUREMENTS
8.1.1 Definition
Geometric representation of active and reactive powers.
Reactive power consumed
Reactive power supplied
The reference of this diagram is the current vector (fixed on the right-hand part of
the axis).
The voltage vector V varies in its direction as a function of the phase angle φ.
The phase angle φ, between voltage V and current I, is considered positive in the
mathematical sense of the term (counterclockwise).
8.1.2 Sampling
8.1.2.1 "1 s" (one second) Quantities
The device calculates the following quantities every second on the basis of
measurements over a cycle, according to § 8.2.
"1 s" quantities are used for:
Real-time values.
■
Trends over 1 second.
■
Aggregation of values for "aggregated" trends .
■
Determination of minimum and maximum values for the values of
■
"aggregated" trends.
All "1 s" quantities can be recorded on the SD card during the recording session.
