setpoint can be used to clear the minimum and maximum
values. FIGURE 6–1: Power Measurement Conventions for the convention used to describe
power direction.
• THREE PHASE/A/B/C REAL POWER: The total RMS three phase real power as well as
individual phase A/B/C real power is displayed. The phase A/B/C real power messages
are displayed only for a “Wye” or “3 Wire Direct” connections. The PQMII shows
direction of flow by displaying the signed value of kW.
• THREE PHASE/A/B/C REACTIVE POWER: The total RMS three phase reactive power as
well as the individual phase A/B/C reactive power is displayed. The phase A/B/C
reactive power messages will be displayed only for a “Wye” or “3 Wire Direct”
connected system. The PQMII shows direction of flow by displaying the signed value of
kvar.
• THREE PHASE/A/B/C APPARENT POWER: The total RMS three phase apparent power
as well as the individual phase A/B/C apparent power is displayed. The phase A/B/C
apparent power messages will be displayed only for a “Wye” or “3 Wire Direct”
connected system.
• THREE PHASE/A/B/C POWER FACTOR: The three phase true power factor as well as
the individual phase A/B/C true power factors is displayed in these messages. The
phase A/B/C true power factor messages will be displayed only for a “Wye” or “3 Wire
Direct” connected system.
• 3Φ/AΦ/BΦ/CΦ kW MIN/MAX: The minimum/maximum three phase real power as
well as the minimum/maximum individual phase A/B/C real power is displayed, along
with the time and date of their measurement. This information is stored in non-volatile
memory and will be retained during a loss of control power. The phase A/B/C
minimum/maximum real power messages will be displayed only for a “Wye”
connected system.
• 3Φ/AΦ/BΦ/CΦ kvar MIN/MAX: The minimum/maximum three phase reactive power
as well as the minimum/maximum individual phase A/B/C reactive power is displayed,
along with the time and date of their measurement. This information is stored in non-
volatile memory and will be retained during a loss of control power. The phase A/B/C
minimum/maximum reactive power messages will be displayed only for a “Wye”
connected system.
