4.2.1 Harmonic
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the current detection of waveform distortion. The
calculation method is divided into fundamental wave and true RMS value, which is the ratio
of harmonic content to fundamental wave or true RMS value. The calculation formula of
voltage/current total harmonic distortion is:

4.2.2 Demand
This meter is consist of several types of demand calculation: active power demand,
reactive power demand, apparent power demand, three phase current demand and
average current demand. The calculation method is as follows:
When using the sliding block interval method, user selects an interval from 1 to 60
minutes, which is the period of the calculation. The demand updates every 1 minute as the
block slides once. The following example is a figure for 15-minute block interval:
