channels to plot
A time plot is a graph of the value of one parameter and channel over time. The
PowerVisa is able to display time plots for individual Voltage and Current channels
(Va, Vb, Vc, Vd, Ia, Ib, Ic, Id) or phase-to-phase Voltage channels (Vab, Vbc, Vca),
depending on the available channels for Voltage and the selected circuit type.
RMS trigger
parameters
RMS variation is the most common type of disturbance and is identified as a specific
type of event by IEEE and IEC. Event characterization implemented in PowerVisa
adheres to the IEEE 1159 and IEC 61000-4-30 Class A standards (Refer to Appendix F
Event Classification). RMS values are updated at half-cycle rates, calculated over one
cycle and compared against limits on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The high and low limits
can be enabled and programmed individually for each phase and phase-to-phase value.
The following parameters are required to define how an rms variation is triggered:
Very Low limit
Low limit
High Limit
Cycles in range to end event
As per IEEE and IEC standards for multi-phase systems, the beginning of the voltage
rms event occurs when any phase voltage goes outside the limits, and ends when all of
the phases are within limits for an end-event number of cycles specified. This is only
true for voltage, not current.
In addition, rms variations can have three stages of averaging or chart rates, which is
particularly useful for long duration events to save memory in exchange for reduced
resolution. This mode begins if the rms value remains out of limits for longer than the
post-start number of cycles that were programmed.
Refer to Chapter 6 Advanced Setup Options for more information on rms variation
limits.
What is
displayed on a
time plot?
A time plot consists of the timed and threshold waveforms for the parameter on display.
The instrument provides users Options to change and/or add parameters/channels to
plot.
Channels
Voltage: A, B, C, D, A-B, B-C, C-A
Current: A, B, C, D
