Pst and Pinst Indication Accuracy
P
st
and P
inst
values are from IEC 61000-4-15, (amendment 1). Note that P
st
and P
inst
indications are only valid for 230
V and 120 V, 50 Hz and 60 Hz. P
st
values are not valid for the current channel.

Other Flicker Modes
Extended Flicker functions are provided. The accuracy of these signals is better than 1 %:
• Frequency Changes
• Distorted voltage with multiple zero crossings
• Harmonics with side band
• Phase jumps
• Rectangular voltage changes with duty ratio
