6. Evaluate the data using PQ Log. For details, refer to the PQ Log manual. Methods of Logging The following section describes methods of logging using the 1744/1743 Logger. Measuring Ranges The Logger has three input ranges for each of its two connection systems: Wye connection (3-phase, 4-wire) and Delta connection (3-phase, 3-wire).
1744/1743 Users Manual egb015.bmp Figure 12. Selecting Voltage Input Ranges During Job Processing Note For P-P logging, the P-P voltage must be entered as the nominal voltage (e.g. 400 V for 230 V systems). Signal Sampling Input signals (up to three voltages and four currents) are filtered with an anti- aliasing filter, and digitized with a 16-bit A/D converter.
