PQMII POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 6–7
• Van, Vbn, Vcn: Displays phase voltages corresponding to the A, B, and C voltage
inputs. This voltage will be measured correctly only if the
VT RATIO, VT NOMINAL
SECONDARY
, and VOLTAGE WIRING setpoints match the installed VTs. If the displayed
voltage does not match the actual voltage, check the setpoints and wiring. This
message appears only if the
VT WIRING is configured for a wye input.
• Iavg/Vavg: Displays the average of the three phase currents/voltages. This value is
not visible if the
VT WIRING setpoint is set to “Single Phase Direct”. L-N is displayed when
VT WIRING is set to “4 Wire Wye / 3 VTs”, “4 Wire Wye Direct”, “4 Wire Wye / 2 VTs”, or “3
Wire Direct” and L-L is displayed when
VT WIRING is set to “3 Wire Delta / 2 VTs”.
• Vab, Vbc, Vca: Displays line voltages corresponding to the A, B, and C voltage inputs.
The measured voltage is correct only if the
VT RATIO, VT NOMINAL SECONDARY, and VOLTAGE
WIRING
setpoints match the installed VTs. If the displayed voltage does not match the
actual voltage, check the setpoints and wiring.
• AVERAGE LINE VOLTAGE: Displays the average of the three line voltages. This value is
not visible if the
VT WIRING setpoint is set to “Single Phase Direct”.
• VOLTAGE UNBALANCE: Displays the percentage voltage unbalance. Voltage
unbalance is calculated as shown below. If the
VOLTAGE WIRING is configured for a wye
input, voltage unbalance is calculated using phase quantities. If the
VT WIRING is
configured as a delta input, voltage unbalance is calculated using line voltages.

Note
Even though it is possible to achieve unbalance greater than 100% with the above
formula, the PQMII will limit unbalance readings to 100%.
If the average voltage is below 10% of
VT RATIO × VT NOMINAL SECONDARY VOLTAGE for “3
Wire Delta / 2 VTs”, “4 Wire Wye / 3 VTs”, and “4 Wire Wye / 2 VTs” connections, or
below 10% of
VT RATIO × NOMINAL DIRECT INPUT VOLTAGE for “4 Wire Wye/Direct” and “3
Wire Direct” connections, the unbalance reading is forced to 0%. This is implemented
to avoid nuisance alarms when the system is lightly loaded. If the simulation voltages
are being used, the unbalance is never forced to 0%.
• Van, Vbn, Vcn MIN/MAX: Displays the minimum/maximum phase voltage magnitudes
and the time and date of their occurrence. This information is stored in non-volatile
memory and is retained during loss of control power. The

and the time and date of their occurrence. This information is stored in non-volatile
