during a loss of control power. The phase A/B/C maximum reactive power messages will be 
displayed only for a WYE connected system. The setpoint 
S1 PQM SETUP \ CLEAR 
DATA \ CLEAR MIN/MAX POWER VALUES
 is used to clear these values.
THREE PHASE/A/B/C kVA MAXIMUM: The maximum three phase apparent power as well 
as the maximum individual phase A/B/C apparent power is displayed in these messages. 
The time and date at which these maximum values were measured is also displayed in 
these messages. This information is stored in non-volatile memory and will be retained 
during a loss of control power. The phase A/B/C maximum apparent power messages will 
be displayed only for a WYE connected system. The setpoint 
S1 PQM SETUP \ CLEAR DATA \ CLEAR MIN/MAX POWER VALUES is used to clear these 
values.
THREE PHASE/A/B/C PF MAXIMUM: The maximum three phase lead or lag power factor as 
well as the maximum lead or lag individual phase A/B/C power factor is displayed in these 
messages. The time and date at which these maximum values were measured is also 
displayed in these messages. This information is stored in non-volatile memory and will be 
retained during a loss of control power. The phase A/B/C maximum lead or lag power 
factor messages will be displayed only for a WYE connected system. The setpoint 
S1 PQM SETUP \ CLEAR DATA \ CLEAR MIN/MAX POWER VALUES is used to clear these 
values.
