Power Quality Monitoring Chapter 5
Setup
Basic metering configuration is required:
• All models include fixed thresholds for sag and swell alarming: 90% of 
nominal for sags, 110% of nominal for swells, each with a 2% of nominal 
hysteresis.
• In the M6 and M8 models, multi-level sag and swell thresholds and 
hysteresis are user-configurable and can be adjusted by use of the 
Configuration.PowerQuality web page or data table. The parameters are 
listed in Ta b le 14
. Defaults have been selected to effectively disable user-
configurable sag and swell detection, to avoid creating redundant events in 
the Power Quality Log.
Operation
The power monitor detects a sag when any phase voltage varies below the fixed 
sag threshold. A swell is detected when any phase voltage exceeds a swell 
threshold.
Sag and swell detection operate on line-to-line voltages in Delta wiring modes, 
and on line-to-neutral voltages in Wye and split-phase wiring modes.
