Appendix E Power Quality Setup
12. Appendix D Event and Data Logging
The PM172EH can provide detection and registration of power quality
events such as:
• Voltage dips and interruptions
• Voltage swells and overvoltages
• Frequency variations
• Voltage harmonic distortion
The following table gives an example of programming setpoints for
detection and recording power quality events.

Vn – nominal system voltage
Fn – nominal system frequency (50/60 Hz)
Each power quality event will force the meter to record the time and fault
magnitude of the power quality parameter to the Event Log both at the
start and the end of the event, and to record all power quality parameters
together at the time of the event to Data Log #3. The following table
shows an example for selecting parameters for Data Log #3. See
Appendix D for information on how to allocate memory for your power
quality Data Log.
