- RMS or arithmetic average for each interval is recorded (see 5.1.15 for details).
- Minimal value for each interval is recorded.
- Active RMS or arithmetic average (AvgON) for each interval is recorded (see 5.1.15 for details).

Theory and internal operation
This section contains basic theory of measuring functions and technical information of the internal
operation of the Power Master instrument, including descriptions of measuring methods and logging
principles.
5.1
Measurement methods
5.1.1
Measurement aggregation over time intervals
Standard compliance: IEC 61000-4-30 Class A (Section 4.4)
The basic measurement time interval for:
Voltage
Current
Power
Harmonics
Interharmonics
Signalling
Unbalance
is a 10/12-cycle time interval. The 10/12-cycle measurement is resynchronized on each Interval tick
according to the IEC 61000-4-30 Class A. Measurement methods are based on the digital sampling of the
input signals, synchronised to the fundamental frequency. Each input (4 voltages and 4 currents) is
simultaneously sampled.
5.1.2
Voltage measurement (magnitude of supply voltage)
Standard compliance: IEC 61000-4-30 Class A (Section 5.2)
All voltage measurements represent RMS values of the voltage magnitude over a 10/12-cycle time
interval. Every interval is contiguous, and not overlapping with adjacent intervals.
