Introduction to data recording features: The PQ-Box 100 combines multiple recording functions to provide overview and detailed data via PC for reporting and analysis: In addition to the wide range of instantaneous measurements available, the average values over a user defined measuring intervals (1 second to 30 minutes) are stored and available displayed via the PC as line graphs. 10 ms rms Max/Min values are also recorded for frequency, voltage, current and power Events are captured when values exceed a user selected threshold: o Limit events are recorded as time stamped text records for slow voltage changes, fast voltage changes, frequency shifts, flicker, voltage unbalance, voltage THD or specific voltage harmonic limits

Oscilloscope events are waveform recordings of voltage and current triggered by voltage and current change events (selectable upper/lower threshold and step limits). Pre-triggering and recording time are user adjustable 10 ms RMS events provide an alternative view to oscilloscope events. The half cycle RMS value of voltage and current are recorded and reported in a line graph. 10 ms RMS events have separate threshold settings and separate pre -triggering and recording settings Ripple control signals can be recorded as long term or high speed data

Recorded measurements: At the end of each measuring interval the PQ-Box 100 records the maximum, minimum and average values of frequency, voltage, current and power. Average values are recorded for all other measurements. Over 360 different values (frequency, voltage, current, power and energy) can then be graphed via the PQ-Box 100 PC software for analysis. While IEC 50160 specifies a 10 minute measuring interval, this can be set between 1 second and 30 minutes.
Example display of voltage, current & frequency data. Limit event recording: Time stamped text records are used for Limit events such as fast voltage changes, frequency shifts, flicker, voltage unbalance, voltage THD or specific voltage harmonic limits. Upper and lower limits can be set for slow/fast voltage changes and frequency. Upper limits can be set for voltage unbalance, long term flicker, voltage THD and individually up to the 50th harmonic.

Oscilloscope events: Waveform recordings of voltage and current are triggered by voltage and current change events (selectable upper/lower threshold and step limits). Pre-triggering and recording time are user adjustable
Example of oscilloscope event. 10ms RMS events: The half cycle RMS value of voltage and current are recorded in a line graph. 10ms RMS events have separate upper/lower and step threshold settings together with pre -triggering and recording time settings.

Ripple Control: The PQ-Box 100 can capture ripple control information via permanent recording (U eff R), and via the new Ripple Control Signal Analysis option. The standard PQ-Box 100 records a permanent recording of the desired frequency as a 200 ms signal, and shows data as a percentage of nominal voltage. Using a 200 ms evaluation window, the PQ-Box 100 undertakes an FFT analysis and records the peak signal amplitude of the preselected frequency. At the end of the measuring interval (e.g. 10 minute measuring interval) the amplitude, time and date of the single largest 200 ms value is recorded.
Example of ripple signals over time (U eff R). With PQ-Box 100s with Ripple Control Signal Analysis Option (+S versions) a high speed recorder for monitoring ripple control signals can be enabled in addition to U eff R recording. This monitors the selected frequency range (frequency + bandwidth) and if the signal exceeds the set minimum amplitude threshold, the high speed recorder is started for the Recorder time duration. Data is recorded with 10 ms resolution, allowing pulse encoding to be reviewed.

Overview Reporting: A graphical summary view of events is provided to e nable an overview of the interrelation of the separate event reports.
Example of overview data. EN 50160 Reporting: To provide a quick overview of power quality during the recording period an EN 50160 style report shows the 95 % value and 100 % values of primary measurements versus acceptable thresholds. Any data over the line represents unacceptable quality.
Example of EN50160 reporting. Software: Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 compatible, multiple user licence with free upgrades USB port required for connection to PQ-Box 100 Supports USB 2.0 high speed data transfer PQ-Box 100 software supports the set up of the PQ-Box 100, downloading, storage and evaluation of data. Event data can be zoomed, scaled and compared to other records. Software is supplied free with the PQ-Box 100. Recommended configuration and options: The PQ-Box 100 is only available with four voltage and 4 current inputs The PQ-Box 100 can be supplied in three versions. Basic which offers permanent recording, i.e. data logging. Light version which adds EN 50160, 2-50th harmonic and manual trigger functions. Expert version for full functionality with high speed disturbance recording. Basic and Light versions can be field upgraded Expert Option with Ripple Control Option is recommended High accuracy mini CT switchable clamp (100 mA to 22A and 1 A to 200 A) and high accuracy Rogowski current clamps (1-2650 A) Hard transport case, magnetic probes and fused voltage leads
