3.3 Dips and Swells
Dips and Swells records Swells, Dips, Interruptions, and Rapid Voltage Changes.
Dips and Swells are fast deviations from the normal voltage. Magnitude may be ten up
to one hundred of volts. Duration may vary from a half cycle to a few seconds as
defined in IEC61000-4-30.
During a dip the voltage drops, during a swell the voltage rises. In 3-phase systems, a
dip begins when the voltage on one or more phases drops below the dip threshold and
ends when all phases are equal to or above the dip threshold plus hysteresis. A swell
begins when the voltage on one or more phases rises up to the swell threshold and
ends when all phases are equal to or below the swell threshold minus hysteresis. The
trigger conditions for dips and swells are threshold and hysteresis. Dips and Swells
are characterized by duration, magnitude and time of occurrence. Figure 3-3-1and 3-
3-2 explains this.
