Flagging Concept
During conditions of undervoltage, overvoltage, or voltage interruption, the measurement method can return
implausible values for other measurands (for example, frequency measurement, voltage harmonics). The
flagging concept therefore prevents an individual event from being accounted for multiple times in different
measurands (for example, a single undervoltage event both as undervoltage and simultaneously as a
frequency change).
Flaggings are only triggered by undervoltage, overvoltage, and voltage interruptions. Undervoltage and
overvoltage detection is based on a threshold value selected by the user. This value determines whether data
are
flagged .
The flagging concept is used when measuring the power frequency, mains voltage, mains voltage unbalance,
and harmonics of the mains voltage.
If a value was flagged within a given time interval, the aggregated value containing that value will be flagged,
too. Flagged values are stored and optionally integrated in the calculation or hidden.
