PQA: Standard vs Limited general recorder


Increasing recording time at a short registration periods is a well-known issue in power quality analysis that prompted us to invent two distinct solutions. One is auto recorder restart (presented in newsletter “PQA: Short registration period vs long time recording” [link do newslettra]), the other is to select between two pre-defined integrated recording profiles that best suit user’s needs.
They are the Standard profile, which includes all recorded measurements (approx. 5220 registers) and is suitable for most PQA application and the Limited profile. The latter includes only a limited set (most important ones) of measurements (approx. 1220 registers) and is most suitable for long term recording with a short interval (1 week long record with a 1 second interval).

Main differences between the Standard / Limited profile:
  • Limited profile registers only average (AVRG) values for P, Q, S, energy and harmonics, while the Standard profile also registers MIN, MAX, AVRGON values.
  • Limited profile doesn’t register 10 s frequency values and interharmonics.
