PQ Parameter Calculations
Calculations
Measuring and monitoring power quality (PQ) parameters require several calculations,
i.e. RMS values of voltage and current, etc. Depending on the type of parameter
measured, calculations are performed using samples of monitored waveforms or using
every sample cycle for quick disturbance detection. This section defines the parameters
used in PQ calculations.
