Explanation
Maximum Reading of the Display and Units
• Maximum reading of apparent and reactive power: 99999 (when the number of
displayed digits is 5)
• Display range of power factor: –1.0000 to 1.0000 (1.0000 if the computed result
between 1.0001 and 2.0000; PFErr if it is greater than 2.0000; –1.0000 if it is
between –1.0001 and –2.0000; PFErr if it is less than –2.0000.)
• Units: VA (apparent power), var (reactive power), power factor (no unit)
• Prefix: m, k, or M
Selecting the Display Function
The following selections are available.
• VA: apparent power will be displayed
• var: reactive power will be displayed
• PF: power factor will be displayed
Note
•
Changing the measurement mode might result in different computed results, even when the
input signal is the same. For details on the measurement mode, refer to section 4.1.
•
When either the voltage or current drops below 0.5% of the measurement range, PFErr will
be displayed.
•
The displayed values of VA (apparent power) and var (reactive power), while the MAX hold
function (see section 4.8) is enabled, will be the maximum values (MAX) that are held. The
values for D/A output, output to external plotter and printer, and communication output are
also set to the maximum values (MAX) that are held.
