Loss Factor - There are two options available, Power Factor and Dissipation
Factor, practically identical in routine usage. Dissipation Factor may be
chosen when the user wishes to duplicate nameplate data from international
manufacturers. However, the two are virtually identical at Power Factor
readings below 5%. Units may be selected as Percent or Actual (and, for
Dissipation Factor, mW/VAr). Power Factor is generally expressed in percent,
and Dissipation Factor as Actual.
Voltage Ramp Settings - The rate of voltage change corresponding to the
Auto Ramp Mode and Manual Set Options is entered in these fields. For
example, the default settings call for an increase of 100 volts every time the up
arrow is pressed when manually bringing up the voltage.
• Manual Mode Slow Step - The increment of voltage corresponding to
each press of the up and down arrow key for manually setting the
voltage. To change the default settings, click the mouse in this field
and enter the desired voltage.
• Manual Mode Fast Step - The increment of voltage corresponding to
each press of the PGUP and PgDn key for manually setting the
voltage. To change the default settings, click the mouse in this field
and enter the desired voltage.
• Auto Mode Ramp Step - The increment of voltage corresponding to
the automatic voltage ramping steps. Using the default setting means
that the voltage is raised and lowered in 500 volt increments. In the
Auto Ramp Mode, voltage is lowered when a reversal is performed.
