Compliance – EN 50160:2010
EN 50160 is a European standard for the statistical
analysis of power quality data. The statistical package
called Quality of Supply (QOS) is built into the Dranetz
HDPQ, with monitoring and setup protocols available
to determine compliance with the EN 50160:2010
standard. The EN 50160-required measurement
parameters include Power Frequency, Supply Voltage
Variations, Rapid Voltage Changes, Supply Voltage
Unbalance, Harmonic Voltage, Interharmonic Voltage,
and Mains Signaling. The monitoring site is said to be
IN COMPLIANCE if the statistical value over one week
for the specified parameters is 95% or greater. The EN
50160 options setup allows users to define up to five
mains signaling frequencies below 3KHz. Users can also
select pre-defined values for main voltage
characteristics of the electricity supplied.
Reporting
Any instrument can provide trends and event lists
detailing what’s been recorded during a power survey,
but users want results quickly. The Dranetz HDPQ
reporting functions make analysis quick and easy by
summarizing survey data and results in easy-to-use
formats. When combined with the advanced remote
control capabilities of Dranetz HDPQ, users can easily
see their results from anywhere with connectivity to
the instrument.
Mini-Reports
The Dranetz HDPQ Mini-Report is a fast and easy way
to generate custom reports directly from the
instrument’s front panel. Mini-Reports are a
compilation of user snapshots of any screen shown on
the local Dranetz HDPQ display. By simply pressing the
Snapshot (camera) button on the front panel, a .bmp
file containing a picture of the screen presently
displayed is added to the Mini-Report. The Mini-Report
is stored in an .xml format and can be uploaded to any
computer, Tablet, or Smartphone for viewing in a web
browser. Once uploaded, users can annotate the Mini-
Report and add comments or make any changes using
Microsoft Word or any other .html editor. Users can
keep the file in a .xml format or “Save As” and convert
to .doc, .rtf, or other formats. Also, each screen image
displayed in the Mini-Report is a separate .bmp file, so
it can be treated individually for emailing,
incorporating in other documents, or any other use.
Mini-Reports can be sent to your colleagues or
customers to easily share monitoring information, or
sent to Dranetz Technical Support for assistance with
the instrument setup, operation, interpretation of data
or other questions.
Dashboard Alarm Panel
The Dashboard alarm panel is a combination of real-
time measurements and triggered data on one screen,
summarizing your monitoring survey in one easy-to-use
reporting screen. The Dashboard is an alarm panel with
cells that represent real-time meters and recording
status of parameters being measured. Cells are color-
coded so the user can easily know if events have been
recorded for the parameters displayed. For Power
Quality, Voltage and Current cells are green or red
indicating if HI or LOW trigger conditions have been
met. Green cells indicate no alarms or events have
been recorded for that parameter. A red cell indicates
an alarm condition and that an event has been
recorded for that parameter. By pressing the cell, the
user can view details of the event(s). For Harmonics,
Flicker, Power, Demand, Energy, and other
parameters, HI/LO and VERY HI/VERY LO triggers are
available to indicate both warning and severe
conditions. For such parameters, HI/LO alarms are
indicated by a yellow color and VERY HI/VERY LO
alarms are indicted by a red color. Once the user has
reviewed the Dashboard, the alarms can be cleared
and all red and yellow cells will return to a green color
until the next alarm condition occurs. A grey color
indicates monitoring for that parameter is disabled.
