CHAPTER 12: FLICKER AND ANALYSIS EN50160/IEC61000-4-30 POWER QUALITY COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS (EPM 9650 OPTION B)
EPM 9450/9650 ADVANCED POWER QUALITY METERING SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 12–11
3. The EPM 9650 meter with Software Option B can use Historical Log 2 to record
the results of Flicker testing: you will see the top screen if EN50160/IEC61000-
4-30 logging has not been selected for the meter; you will see the bottom
screen if it has already been selected.
• To set up EN50160/IEC61000-4-30 recording, click Auto-Configure.
Historical Log 2 will now be used for EN50160/IEC61000-4-30 logging,
only.
• If EN50160/IEC61000-4-30 recording is already active and you want to
disable it, click Enable Log 2. This will disable the EN50160/IEC61000-4-30
logging in Historical Log 2. You can then configure Historical Log 2
normally. (See the GE Communicator Instruction Manual for instructions)
Note
It takes a week for the meter to collect all the data needed for the analysis.
4. Make the following selections:
a. FVF: select the number of Fast Voltage Fluctuations that are acceptable
per day.
b. Sync Connection: select YES for a system with a synchronous connection
to another system, NO if there is no such synchronous connection.
c. Select your Frequency (50 Hz or 60Hz).
d. Nominal Voltage (in Secondary): Enter the value for the Nominal voltage in
Secondary that you want to use in the analysis; for example, 120 V for a
60 Hz frequency, or 230 V for a 50 Hz frequency.
e. Short Term Test Time: Select the time in minutes for the PST - short-term
test. The available range is from 1-10 minutes.
f. Long Term Test Time: Select the time in minutes for the LST - long-term
test. The available range is 10-240 minutes, in multiples of 10 (10, 20, 30,
etc.).
5. Click OK.
6. Click Update Device to send the new settings to the meter and return to the
main GE Communicator screen.
