Flicker
Function Description
The flicker is measured according to IEC 61000-4-15.
The short-term flicker value (Pst) and the long-term flicker value (Plt) are determined for phase-to-ground
voltages and delta voltages. The flicker is measured on all 3 voltage channels.
Flickers appear with a frequency from 0.005 Hz to 35 Hz.
The device measures the following flicker types:
•
Short-term flicker values (Pst)
Determined by 10 min (short-term flicker), fixed
•
Long-term flicker values (Plt)
Over 2 h (12 Pst values), fixed
