Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording EN50160 Background The EN50160 European standard “Voltage characteristics of electricity supplied by public distribution systems” issued by CENELEC defines the main physical characteristics of electric energy supplied by low and medium voltage public distribution systems under normal operating conditions. The voltage characteristics are evaluated using a statistical approach.
Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording values, which are intended to provide users with information on the order of magnitude which can be expected. The following table gives the characteristics for which indicative values have been specified by the standard. Voltage Characteristic Indicative values Observation period Voltage dips Less than 1 s, 60% depth Year Short interruptions 70% less than 1 s Year Long interruptions 10 to 50% less than 3 min Year Temporary overvoltages Less than 1.
Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording clears the evaluation registers and counters so that each evaluation period’s statistics is stored in a separate record. You can upload and view the online statistics data via Power Software reports, using data collected since the beginning of the present evaluation interval. You can also manually clear the present contents of the counters though Power Software before starting your EN50160 evaluation.
Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording Supply Voltage Variations This characteristic defines slow variations of steady state supply voltage magnitude. Method of Evaluation The basic supply voltage magnitude measurement is the RMS value of the steady state voltage over a period of 10 minutes under normal operating conditions. A voltage variation is not evaluated if the supply voltage crosses a voltage tolerance limit (±15% Un).
Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording the supply voltage. Flicker is indicated by the long-term flicker severity parameter Plt, which is evaluated every 2 hours. Method of Evaluation The basic measurement is the short-term flicker severity indicator Pst, evaluated each 10 minutes by instrumentation complying with IEC 61000-4-15. The indicative long-term flicker severity Plt is evaluated from 12 consecutive Pst values.
Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording Indicative Values Under normal operating conditions the expected number of voltage dips in a year may be from up to a few tens to up to one thousand. The majority of voltage dips have a duration less than 1 s and a depth less than 60%. Voltage Interruptions Voltage interruptions correspond to temporary loss of supply voltage on all phases lasting less than or equal to 3 minutes in the event of short interruptions, and more than 3 minutes for long interruptions.
Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording becomes lower than the end threshold on all affected phases including a threshold hysteresis. The overvoltage threshold can be changed in the meter via the EN50160 PQ Recorder setup. The basic voltage measurement is one-cycle RMS voltage updated each half-cycle.
Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording Voltage Unbalance This characteristic defines the magnitude and/or phase asymmetries of three-phase steady state supply voltage. Method of Evaluation The basic measurement is the RMS value of the steady state voltage unbalance over a period of 10 minutes under normal operating conditions. It is defined using the theory of symmetrical components by the negative sequence component expressed in percent of the positive sequence component.
Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording Interharmonic Voltage Method of Evaluation Since the EN50160 does not specify target limits for interharmonic voltages, this feature is normally disabled in your meter. You can enable evaluation of interharmonic voltages via the EN50160 Advanced Setup. The basic measurements are the individual interharmonic voltage distortion factors (HD) and the total interharmonic distortion factor (THD) over a period of 10 minutes under normal operating conditions.
Appendix F EN50160 Evaluation and Recording evaluation of signaling voltages via the EN50160 Advanced Setup. The PowerSmart Socket PQM evaluates up to four ripple control frequencies. You can select the required signaling frequencies via the EN50160 Advanced Setup. The basic measurement is the magnitude of the signaling voltage over a period of 3 seconds under normal operating conditions. Signaling voltages are not evaluated if the supply voltage crosses a voltage tolerance limit (±15% Un).
Appendix G Data Scales Appendix G Data Scales The maximum values for volts, amps and powers in the PowerSmart Socket PQM setup and in communications are limited by the voltage and current scale settings. See Device Options and Mode Control in Chapter 5 on how to change the voltage and current scales in your meter. The following table shows the meter data scales.
