The instrument will detect Voltage Anomalies if the RMS Voltage Values (calculated every
10ms) beyond the above calculated thresholds. These limits remain unchanged
throughout the recording period.
When a Voltage anomaly occurs the instrument records:
• The number corresponding to the phase where the anomaly occurred.
• The “direction” of the anomaly: “Surge” and “Sag” identify respectively voltage drops
(Sag) and peaks (Surge).
• The date and time of the beginning of the event in the form day, month, year, hour,
minutes, seconds, hundredths of second.
• The duration of the event, in seconds with a resolution of 10ms.
• The minimum (or maximum) value of voltage during the event.

16.6.1. Theory
Any periodical non-sine wave can be represented as a sum of sinusoidal waves having
each a frequency that corresponds to an entire multiple of the fundamental, according to
the relation:
