used to detect voltage and frequency faults, their typical triggering thresholds and
event durations.
Impulsive transients
Impulsive transients are detected as impulses with a rise time less than 0.5 ms and
duration from 150 us to ½ cycle. The impulse magnitude is measured as the
overshoot voltage magnitude above the normal voltage wave shape. It is referenced
to the nominal peak voltage (1.414 Un).
Sags and swells
A voltage sag or swell is classified as one polyphase event regardless of the shape
and of the number of phases affected (as per IEC 61000-4-30). An event can begin
on one phase and end on another phase. The fault magnitude is recorded separately
for each phase involved. The event duration is measured from the instant at which
the voltage falls/rises below/above the start threshold on one of the phases to that at
which it becomes greater/lower than the end threshold on all affected phases
including a threshold hysteresis.
Voltage Interruptions
The voltage interruption is detected when the voltages on all phases fall below the
interruption threshold (as per IEC 61000-4-30).
Flicker
The flicker is evaluated according to IEC 61000-4-15. The 10-min Pst values are
used to follow and indicate the flicker faults.

PQ Recorder Setup
The IEEE 1159 PQ recorder setup allows you to adjust thresholds and hysteresis for
PQ triggers, to define the waveform and data log options for PQ events, and to
enable or disable the PQ recorder in your device.
To configure the PQ recorder:
1. Select Memory/Log from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on
the PQ Recorder tab.
2. If you want to change the default settings, adjust thresholds and
hysteresis for PQ triggers
3. Select the waveform and data logging options for PQ events
4. Download your setup to the device.
