Parameters Measured

2 Line-Neutral Voltages• Calculated L-L Voltage (By adding 256 Samples/Channel)• Works For 120/240v or 120/208v Services

2 Line Currents (L1 & L2) Captive Integral CT’s• Calculates Neutral Current (Subtract 256 Samples/Line

Current)

15

Operation

You Specify Recorder Response Time, or How Often TRMS Values are Calculated(1 - 60 cycles)

You Specify Data Storage Interval(1 cycle to 4 Hours)

Recorder Automatically Computes TRMS Value per Selected Response Time and Storage Interval

16

Operation

Recorder Stores Highest, Lowest TRMS Value in Storage Interval as Well as TRMS Value over Storage Interval

Result: You Capture Highest/Lowest 1 Cycle Events/Storage Interval Regardless of Storage Interval Length

This is the 1st Type of Continuous Recording

17

Out Of Limits Recording

This is the 2nd Type of Simultaneous Recording Based On Limits You Set, Recorder will Separately Start

Logging Events in the Out Of Limits Report as Soon as They are Detected

Limits Can be Set for: Swells/Sags, THD, Spikes as Fast as 65 microsec (1/256th of a cycle)

18

Use Included 32-Bit, Windows Software to Set Limits

Type of Limit Turn Limit ON

Limit Value THD Limits

Subcycle Transient Limit

= Exclusive Feature

19

Indicating LEDs

At a Glance, External Indicating LED’s () Tell You if any Events Occurred During the Test.

The GE Flicker Table and a Special Loose Neutral Algorithm are Used.

R Recording/Not Recording

N Suspected Loose Neutral

F Flicker Events

H Harmonic Events

S Swell/Sag/Sub-Cycle Events

Ease Of Use & Flexibility

Display Tells Installer Unit Is Working And Will Record Correct Values

Countdown Time (Programmable) Tells User Time Before Recording Will Start

Many Different Ways To Start Recording

Power Quality/Power Flow Options

Two Key Options are Available at a Low Cost

Power Quality Option Captures Waveforms Based on Event (Surge/Sag, THD, Sub-Cycle) Trigger or Time Trigger

You can See Disturbances, Select Waveforms and Do Harmonic Analysis

By Capturing Post-Trigger Cycles, You can See how the Disturbance Resolved Itself

26

Power Quality Option: Waveform Capture/Harmonic Analysis- Here is a lighting strike in the vicinity of this residence

Reports

AVO-Metrosoft Can Automatically Generate Many Different Reports For You:

• Tabular Reports (basic raw data)• Out of Limits Reports (Event Data)• Weekly Energy Report (a whole single week for any one

selected demand parameter)• Voltage Regulation Report

31

Tabular Report: Voltage/Current

32

Note that Power by phase as well as total, and also true pf,displacement pf,voltage and current imbalance per demand interval are presented.

Summary

Why have we built so much power into a residential unit?• Because Power Quality Problems Have Found Their Way into

The Home–Many Home Offices with Sensitive Equipment and

UPS’s/Surge Arrestors–Chips in Many New Appliances

• To Protect Your Investment With De-regulation, Power Quality Problems in the

Home/Light Commercial are Going to Get Worse, Not Better

35

Summary, Continued

mr-2/4 Using Advanced Technology Offer:• Ease of Use, Flexibility, Versatility• Fast, Easy Field Upgradeability

Users can Start with the Simplest Unit and Add Power Quality and/or Power Flow Options when and if They Want to Make Their Unit Almost into a Full Blown Powerline Disturbance Analyzer
