current in the missing CT. Note that if you calculate the current in a missing CT, your PQube will
incorrectly show any earth current as flowing in the calculated phase.
If you want to use this feature, change the Calculate_Current_Channel setting in the Setup.ini file.
Fix installation errors, simply and easily
During installation, it is easy to make mistakes: maybe you accidentally wired your conductors to
the wrong screw terminals, . Of course, you can always correct your wiring; but it’s easier to use
your PQube’s Setup.ini file to swap the phase connections to the appropriate inputs. You can do
this for the voltage and current inputs. For example, if you realize that L2 has been installed on the
L3 input, you can fix this easily:
L1_Input_Connected_To=L1
L2_Input_Connected_To=L3
L3_Input_Connected_To=L2
N_Input_Connected_To=N
L1_Amps_Input_Connected_To=L1
L2_Amps_Input_Connected_To=L3
L3_Amps_Input_Connected_To=L2
N_Amps_Input_Connected_To=N
E_Amps_Input_Connected_To=E
NOTE: When phase swapping, remember that your PQube will not lock on and begin recording
until either the L1-E or L2-E voltage exceeds 30 volts.
Setting Relays for Triggering on Events
The PQube triggers for many types of events. You can choose which of these events will open one
or more relays. Each relay will remain open for 3 seconds or the event duration, whichever is
longer. To change the relay settings, edit the [Event_Relay_Trigger] section. See Appendix 2.
Here are a few simple rules:
 You can connect any event to any relay.
 One relay may be connected to multiple events, and any event can be connected to
multiple relays.
 RLY1 is standard. RLY2, RLY3, and RLY4 are included in the factory-installed RLY option.
 Enter 1, 2, 3, 4 (or any combination of those numbers) into the relay-event tags to attach
that relay to that event.
 Enter OFF if you don’t want that event to trigger a relay.
Example: to trigger RLY1 when a Voltage Dip or Swell occurs, set the following relay-event tags:
Trigger_Relay_On_Dip=1
Trigger_Relay_On_Swell=1
Example: to trigger RLY1 and RLY3 when an interruption occurs, set the following relay-event tags:
Trigger_Relay_On_Interruption=13
By default, all relay-event tags are set to OFF. This means no relays will be triggered on events.
