7. KEY (Harmonics)
This key displays the levels of harmonics of the
voltage, current, and apparent power by order. It
can be used to determine the harmonic currents
produced by nonlinear loads and analyse the
problems engendered by these harmonics as a
function of their order (heating of the neutral, of the
conductors, of the motors, etc.).

These are listed in the screen below and described
individually in the sections that follow.

3.
This information concerns the harmonic located
under the cursor (see item 7).
Vh xx: number of the harmonic.
%: level of the harmonic with respect to the
fundamental (order 1).
v: RMS voltage of the harmonic in question.
+000: phase shift with respect to the fundamental
(order 1).
Max – Min: indicators of the maximum and
minimum of the level of the harmonic in question
(reset at each change of harmonic number).
THD: total harmonic distortion (also called THD-F).
4. Current date and time.
5. Battery charge level.
