Parameters Measured
 2 Line-Neutral Voltages
• Calculated L-L Voltage (By adding 256 Samples/Channel)
• Works For 120/240v or 120/208v Services
 2 Line Currents (L1 & L2) Captive Integral CT’s
• Calculates Neutral Current (Subtract 256 Samples/Line
Current)
14
Operation
 You Specify Recorder Response Time, or How
Often TRMS Values are Calculated
(1 - 60 cycles)
 You Specify Data Storage Interval
(1 cycle to 4 Hours)
 Recorder Automatically Computes TRMS Value
per Selected Response Time and Storage Interval
15
Operation
 Recorder Stores Highest, Lowest TRMS Value in
Storage Interval as Well as TRMS Value over
Storage Interval
 Result: You Capture Highest/Lowest
1 Cycle Events/Storage Interval Regardless of
Storage Interval Length
 This is the 1st Type of Continuous Recording
16
Out Of Limits Recording
 This is the 2nd Type of Simultaneous Recording
 Based On Limits You Set, Recorder will Separately Start
Logging Events in the Out Of Limits Report as Soon as
They are Detected
 Limits Can be Set for: Swells/Sags, THD, Spikes as Fast
as 65 microsec (1/256th of a cycle)

Power Quality/Power Flow Options
 Two Key Options are Available
at a Low Cost
 Power Quality Option Captures Waveforms Based on Event
(Surge/Sag, THD, Sub-Cycle) Trigger or Time Trigger
 You can See Disturbances, Select Waveforms and Do
Harmonic Analysis
 By Capturing Post-Trigger Cycles, You can See how the
Disturbance Resolved Itself

Reports
 AVO-Metrosoft Can Automatically Generate
Many Different Reports For You:
• Tabular Reports (basic raw data)
• Out of Limits Reports (Event Data)
• Weekly Energy Report (a whole single week for any one
selected demand parameter)
• Voltage Regulation Report
30
Tabular Report: Voltage/Current
31
Note that Power by phase as well as total, and also true pf,displacement pf,
voltage and current imbalance per demand interval are presented.

Summary
 Why have we built so much power into a residential unit?
• Because Power Quality Problems Have Found Their Way into
The Home
–Many Home Offices with Sensitive Equipment and
UPS’s/Surge Arrestors
–Chips in Many New Appliances
• To Protect Your Investment
 With De-regulation, Power Quality Problems in the
Home/Light Commercial are Going to Get Worse, Not Better
34
Summary, Continued
 mr-2/4 Using Advanced Technology Offer:
• Ease of Use, Flexibility, Versatility
• Fast, Easy Field Upgradeability
 Users can Start with the Simplest Unit and Add Power
Quality and/or Power Flow Options when and if They
Want to Make Their Unit Almost into a Full Blown
