Product Overview Chapter 1
Excessive THD indicates a problem in the power source and/or the application.
This can have an adverse effect on the performance of the overall system. THD
Fault and Alarm parameters are available for both voltage THDV and current
THD I. A Fault and Alarm delay time and a level are also available to configure
each of these parameters.

Metering System
Power and operational monitoring parameters include:
• Current—The RMS current value is provided for each phase, plus the
average current of all three.
• Voltage—The RMS line-to-line and line-to-neutral voltage values are
provided while the motor is running and when stopped. The average of all
three is also provided.
• Line Frequency—The SMC-50 control module measures and provides
user access to the line frequency (Hz).
• Power—Real, reactive, and apparent power values are calculated for each
phase plus the total for all 3 phases. In addition, the current power demand
and the maximum power demand is provided.
• Power Factor—The value of the power factor is provided for each phase
and as a total of all three.
• Peak Starting Current—The SMC-50 control module stores the peak
average RMS motor current consumed for the last 5 start cycles.
• Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)—The SMC-50 control module
calculates and provides user access to the THD for the 3 line voltages and
3 motor currents, along with the average value of each.
• Voltage Unbalance—The calculation of the voltage unbalance signal is
provided.
• Current Imbalance—The calculation of the current imbalance signal is
provided.
• Motor Torque—Electromechanical motor torque is calculated based on
current and voltage feedback from the motor.
