"POWER" FUNCTION
This function permits to display in real time the RMS value of AC/DC voltage, the peak and
ThdV value of the 3 phase voltages, the waveform of the 3 phase voltages, the RMS value
of AC/DC currents, the peak and Thdl of the 3 phase currents and the waveform of the 3
phase currents. Furthermore, the instrument calculates and displays the value of phase
and total active powers, the value of phase and total reactive and capacitive powers, the
value of phase and total power factors and cos
.
7.6.1. Symbols
The position POWER has two working modes:
METER
WAVE
For voltage and current harmonics see paragraphs 7.4.3 and 7.5.3 respectively.
These modes will be described in detail in the next paragraphs.
The symbols used are described below:
