PSL IPC-480V-200A - Power Consumption and Harmonic Testing; Reporting Your Results

page 20
Industrial Power Corruptor Manual Rev 1.00
Your IPC can also control the phase angle where power is
re-applied. On three-phase systems, this phase angle can be
specified for any voltage conductor pair
.
You can specify the duration of the interruption. It should
be long enough to allow the EUT's capacitors to discharge, motors
to slow down, etc.
You may want to manually re-trigger your IPC's data
acquisition system near the end of the interruption; otherwise,
you will have a lot of uninteresting data that simply shows that
there was no power
.
Your IPC records the current waveforms; the ChannelScope
II software can convert these waveforms into true RMS, the
usual way of looking at inrush current.
2.3.5 Power consumption and harmonic testing
Your IPC's optional Power Flow Analysis option can be used
to record power consumption and harmonic currents in a variety
of ways.
It is optimized for recording power flow parameters in
industrial processes: kV
A, kW, kWh, kVAR, PF, THD, etc.
Your IPC can also show you real-time oscilloscope screens
and spectrum analyzer screens, which can be connected to any
of the voltage or current channels inside your IPC. Use these
screens to track changing harmonics and verify power system
waveforms.
Use your IPC's VectorScope to visually verify phase rotation,
and voltage and current unbalance.
2.4 Reporting your results
We recommend using Microsoft Word for writing your reports that
explain your results.
Your IPC produces graphs and text that can be
copied and pasted into any compatible Windows application.
Most IPC graphs can be optimized for screen or printer. And many
IPC graphs include text details that show exactly when the data was
recorded, on what equipment, by whom. Just use the "Event details"
pull-down option.
Your IPC's Power Flow Analysis option produces power consumption
graphs that paste directly into SEMI E6 reports.
These graphs show
exactly how much energy your industrial process consumes while
producing a single unit. They are ideal for optimizing the energy
consumption in your process.
Your IPC is designed to support third-party certification. By filling
out the Setup
Test form in your IPC's software package, and carefully
downloading and recording your results after each event, you can
generate a complete set of files that will allow a third-party certification
lab to review and certify your tests. Check with your third-party
certification lab, or with Power Standards Lab at
www.PowerStandards.com , to see how you can meet their requirements.
