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)
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
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
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)
Limit Value • THD Limits Type of Limit • Subcycle Transient Limit Turn Limit ON • = Exclusive Feature Use Included 32-Bit, Windows Software to Set Limits
R Recording/Not Recording N Suspected Loose Neutral þ F Flicker Events þ H Harmonic Events þ S Swell/Sag/Sub-Cycle Events • = Exclusive Feature Indicating LEDs • At a Glance, External Indicating LED’s (þ) Tell You if any Events Occurred During the Test. • The GE Flicker Table and a Special Loose Neutral Algorithm are Used.
= Exclusive Feature 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 Recordingþ

And Here It Is! Ready to Print, Export, or Cut-and-Paste into a Document or SpreadsheetThis is a 19 Day Recording - Notice the Outage
Outage To Zoom, just hold down the mouse button, drag the cursor to box in the area of interest, release and ZOOM!
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
Power Quality Option: Waveform Capture/Harmonic Analysis- Here is a lighting strike in the vicinity of this residence
1 - Select a Waveform with the Cursor 2 - Click on Create for a Harmonic Analysis Harmonic Analysis
Detailed Harmonic Analysis Selected Waveform Harmonic Summary And Here Is The Harmonic Analysis!!
PF KVAH KWH Power Flow Option:Record all Key Power Parameters, Investigate Billing Complaints, Even Look at Vector Relationships
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
Note that Power by phase as well as total, and also true pf,displacement pf, voltage and current imbalance per demand interval are presented. Tabular Report: Demand
Event Summary with type of event Event Details Out of Limits Report (Event Data)
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
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
