7.6.2 PQ statistic
Power quality (PQ) is assessed by a comparison between the PQ parameters measured by the device
and the limits of a contract agreed upon. The assessment period is usually at least one week to take into
account possible variations between weekdays and weekends.
Via its website the device can perform an assessment of the measured PQ parameters in accordance
with the following standards:
•
EN 50160
(2010)
, low voltage, interconnected systems
•
EN 50160
(2010)
, low voltage, island systems
•
EN 50160
(2010)
, medium voltage, interconnected systems
•
EN 50160
(2010)
, medium voltage, island systems
•
EN 50160
(2010)
, high voltage, interconnected systems
•

7.6.3 Provision of PQ data
The device stores PQ related data, such as PQ events or PQ statistic, in the standard format PQDIF in
accordance with IEEE 1159.3. The corresponding files will be created periodically after midnight for the
past day and provided in a hierarchical time structure (year, month, day) for
download
