6.10.1 Ampere and Fundamental Ampere Demand
Present Ampere Demands are calculated via the instantaneous measurement data
used to calculate the per-phase Amperes.
Upon power-up, all Present Ampere Demands are reset to zero. Maximum Ampere
Demands are initialized to the maximum values recalled from non-volatile memory.
Upon Ampere Demand Reset, all per-phase Present and Maximum Ampere Demands
are set to zero. When Ampere Demands are reset, Fundamental Current Demands
are also reset.
6.10.2 Volt Demand
Present Volt Demands are calculated via the instantaneous measurement data used
to calculate the per-phase Volts. Upon power-up all Present Volt Demands are reset
to zero. The Maximum Volt Demands and Minimum Volt Demands are initialized to the
minimum and maximum values recalled from non-volatile memory. In order to prevent
the recording of false minimums a new Minimum Volt Demand will not be stored
unless two criteria are met. First, the instantaneous voltage for that particular phase
must be greater than 20V
rms
(secondary). Second, the Present Demand for that
particular phase must have dipped (Present Demand value must be less than previous
Present Demand value). Upon Voltage Demand Reset, all per-phase Maximum
Voltage Demands are set to zero. Minimum Voltage Demands are set to full-scale.
6.10.3 Power Demands (Total Watts, VARs, and VAs)
Present Total Watt, VAR, and VA Demands are calculated via the instantaneous
measurement data. The Total VA Demand calculation type is based on the
instantaneous Total VA calculation type (Section 6.6)
Upon power-up, all Present Total Watt, VAR, and VA Demands are reset to the
average of the stored Maximum and Minimum values. The Maximum and Minimum
Demands are initialized to the minimum and maximum values recalled from
non-volatile memory. Upon a demand reset, the Maximum and Minimum Demands
