Logging with Voltage Converters The 1745 Logger includes an adjustable convertor ratio that enables it to be used with voltage convertors (potential transformers, or PTs). Note When logging with voltage convertors, make sure the power supply cables are not connected in parallel to the voltage test leads, or the Logger’s power consumption can reduce accuracy.

1745 Users Manual Logging When the Logger is connected and ready, you can perform three types of logging: Switch-activated job: The status LED is blinking. Press the START/STOP button once. As soon as the job is active, the LED is on continuously.
5. Once the data is transferred, remove the RS232 interface cable and operating power from the Logger. 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 1745 Logger.
1745 Users Manual Voltage Ranges The software calculates the correct measuring range depending on the nominal voltage (20 % overflow with C = 1.4). Table 6 shows the measuring ranges of the Logger and Figure 9 shows the selection for input ranges during job processing.
Power Quality Logger Using the 1745 Power Quality Logger 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. The sampling rate is 10.24 kHz. All parameters are calculated from this data.
1745 Users Manual Averaging Period Averaging period can be set in PQ Log to the following: 1, 3, 5, 10, or 30 seconds 1, 5, 10, 15, or 60 minutes Figure 10 shows the measuring voltage variations of the Logger.
Power Quality Logger Using the 1745 Power Quality Logger Min/Max Values Logging detects the highest and lowest voltage RMS values and the highest current RMS value during the test interval, using a minimum resolution of 10 ms. The response time can be set in PQ Log to the following: 0.5, or 1 line power period...
1745 Users Manual Voltage Interruptions The Logger records two types of interruptions: All measured RMS values of input voltages that are < 1 % of the nominal voltage. This threshold can be adjusted in PQ Log. Interruptions > 1 half-cycle The start time and duration of each interruption are registered.
Power Quality Logger Using the 1745 Power Quality Logger Voltage Dips and Swells If the voltage passes the upper limit (V + 10 %) or lower limit (V - 10 %), the event is registered as a voltage swell or dip respectively (thresholds are adjustable in PQ Log).

1745 Users Manual Unbalance The ratio of negative-to-positive-sequence harmonics is calculated with the angles and magnitudes of the phase voltages taken into account. These values are averaged over the interval length defined in PQ Log. Frequency The line power frequency is measured and averaged over 10 seconds and the resulting values are divided into 42 classes for establishing statistics.
Power Quality Logger Using the 1745 Power Quality Logger Power The power values (L1 or A, L2 or B, L3 or C and N) are averaged over the interval length, and the maximum value of each is recorded. The response time can be set to 1 second or 1 minute, and is independent of the response time for voltage and current.
