Voltage swells
Voltage swells are typically caused by switching operations and load disconnections.
Conventionally, the start threshold for swells is equal to the 110 % of the nominal voltage. Collected
voltage swells are classified according to the following table.

5.2.10
Short interruptions of the supply voltage
Under normal operating conditions the annual occurrence of short interruptions of the supply voltage
ranges from up to a few tens to up to several hundreds. The duration of approximately 70 % of the short
interruptions may be less than one second.
5.2.11
Long interruptions of the supply voltage
Under normal operating conditions the annual frequency of accidental voltage interruptions longer than
three minutes may be less than 10 or up to 50 depending on the area.

MI 2893/MI 2892/MI 2885 recorder setting for EN 50160 survey
MI 2893/MI 2892/MI 2885 is able to perform EN 50160 surveys on all values described in previous
sections. In order to simplify procedure, MI 2893/MI 2892/MI 2885 has predefined recorder
configuration (EN 50160) for it. By default, all current parameters (RMS, THD, etc.) are also included in
survey, which can provide additional survey information. Additionally, during voltage quality survey user
can simultaneously record other parameters too, such as power, energy and current harmonics.
In order to collect voltage events during recording, Include events option in recorder should be enabled.
See section 3.23.2 for voltage events settings.
