5.7 PQube3 Event Types
Your PQube 3 comes with an embedded library of event triggers. A trigger event is a condition that
can be detected by the PQube 3. When triggering on an event, the PQube 3 will record and store an
event summary. For certain types of events, the PQube 3 also records a waveform and an RMS
evolution.
The PQube 3 can trigger on voltage amplitude deviations, such as sag (dips), swells, interruptions,
wave shape changes, on frequency deviations, but it can also trigger on current amplitude exceeded
(load current), or inrush currents.
The PQube 3 can also trigger on any of its 4-analog input channels or its digital input channel. If
equipped with one or more ENV2 EnviroSensors, the PQube 3 can trigger on temperature humidity
and even on external events such as mechanical shocks or seismic type of disturbances.
The chapter below describes the various types of events and what information is recorded:
