Appendix C—EN50160 Evaluation 2/2008
EN–226
You can configure the number of allowable events per week for each
range of Depth in registers 3920 – 3927. (Default = -32768 =
Pass/Fail evaluation disabled.)
Detection of Interruptions of the Supply Voltage
The standard defines an interruption as voltage less than 1% of
nominal voltage. Because some locations require a different
definition, you can configure this value in register 3906. Interruptions
are classified as “short” if duration ≤ 3 minutes or “long” otherwise.
The ACCESS 9360 classifies interruptions as shown in the following
table.
You can configure the number of allowable short interruptions per
year in register 3918 (Default = -32768 = Pass/Fail evaluation
disabled). You can configure the number of allowable long
interruptions per year in register 3919. (Default = -32768 = Pass/Fail
evaluation disabled.)
Detecting and Classifying Temporary Power Frequency Overvoltages
As stated in EN50160, a temporary power frequency overvoltage
generally appears during a fault in the electrical utility power
distribution system or in a customer’s installation, and disappears
when the fault is cleared. Usually, the overvoltage may reach the
