Peak-to-peak
1. The amplitude of a waveform between its maximum positive value and
its maximum negative value
2. A measurement principle where the measurement quantity is made by
calculating the average from the positive and negative peak values with-
out including the DC component. The peak-to-peak mode allows consid-
erable CT saturation without impairing the performance of the operation.
Peak-to-peak
with peak back-
up
A measurement principle similar to the peak-to-peak mode but with the
function starting on two conditions: the peak-to-peak value is above the
set start current or the peak value is above two times the set start value
