Monitor Availability
Monitor availability is a measure of an instrument's availability each day to record power quality measurements. It is
c o m p u t e d b y s e a r c h i n g f o r t r i g g e r e d m e a s u r e m e n t s a n d s t e a d y-s t a t e s a m p l e d m e a s u r e m e nt s o n e a c h d a y . O n d a y s w h e n
no measurements are found, the monitor is considered offline or otherwise unavailable. Instrument unavailability can be
caused by communication problems, monitoring instrument malfunction, or lost data.

RMS Voltage
The following trends present rms voltage plotted against time. Also presented are histograms that show the distribution
of rms voltage. The accompanying summary table presents the minimum, CP05, average, CP95, and maximum values
of the distribution for each of the three phases. The CP95, or 95th percentile, tells us the value that was greater than 95%
of the other samples. The last t wo columns respectively display the percentage of samples that had values less than 10%

distributed symmetrically to the three phases . One negative effect of unbalanced voltages is in the heating of polyphase
induction motors. A negative sequence voltage may produce currents in the windings considerably in excess of those
present under balanced voltage conditions. A relatively small unbalance in voltage will cause a considerable increase in
temperature rise. For example, a 3% voltage unbalance could cause a 25% increase in motor temperature. IEEE

Unbalanced voltages could be the result of a supply fault or a blown line fuse. However, nonlinear loads connected to
the same network as the induction machine could also be a source. Arc welding equipment that draws large currents

One of the impacts of this imbalance is that currents that are higher than rated values flow through the rotor. The power
dissipated as heat coming from higher IR conduction losses raises the rotor temperature and can lead to shortened
machine life and reduced machine performance.

nominal value (e.g. 50 Hz or 60 Hz).
The power system frequency is directly related to the rotational speed of the generators on the system. At any instant,
the frequency depends on the balance between the load and the capacity of the available generation. When this dynamic
balance changes, small changes in frequency occur. The size of the frequency shift and its duration depends on the load

Frequency variations that go outside of accepted limits for normal steady state operation of the power system are
normally caused by faults on the bulk power transmission system, a large block of load being disconnected, or a large
source of generation going offline.

much more likely to occur when a generator isolated from the utility system powers such equipment. In such cases,
governor response to abrupt load changes may not be adequate to regulate within the narrow bandwidth required by
frequency sensitive equipment. Note: voltage notching can sometimes cause frequency or timing errors on power
electronic machines that count zero crossings to derive frequency or time. The voltage notch may produce additional
zero crossings which can cause fr equency or timing errors.

Voltage sags and interruptions, also known as rms voltage variations, are usually the most important power quality
variations affecting end use equipment. The chief cause of rms voltage variations measured on the distribution system is
faults; measurements taken at utilization voltages can also be attributed to the switching of large loads and regulation
problems.

constant. The subject range is 10% from the nominal voltage. Any voltages in this range may be present for an
indefinite period, and are a function of normal loading and losses in the distribution system.
Line Voltage Swell. This region describes a voltage swell having an rms amplitude of up to 120% of the rms nominal
voltage with a duration of up to 0.5 seconds. This event may occur when large loads are removed from the system or
when voltage is suppli ed from sources other than the electric utility.
Voltage Sags. Two different rms voltage sags are described. Generally, these transients result from application of heavy
loads, as well as fault conditions, at various points in the ac distribution system. Sags to 80% of nominal are assumed to
have a typical duration of up to 10 seconds, and sags to 70% of nominal are assumed to have a duration of up to 0.5
seconds.
Dropout. A voltage dropout includes both severe RMS voltage sags and complete interruptions of the applied voltage,
followed by immediate reapplication of the nominal voltage. The interruption may last up to 20 milliseconds. This
transient typically results from the occurrence and subsequent clearing of faults in the ac distribution system.
The curve is not intended to serve as a design specification for products or ac distribution systems. However, the normal
functional state of information technology equipment is not typically expected when rms variations occur that are outside

Transient Overvoltages
Transient overvoltages can result from capacitor switching events on the utility system, from other switching events or
lightning surges on the utility system, or from switching events within the facility. It is often difficult to determine the
cause of transient overvoltages without detailed logs of switching times for equipment on the system and possible
correlation with lightning events in the vicinity.

PQView PQReporter
The following chart summarizes transient overvoltage performance by providing a histogram of transient overvoltages

only those events were evaluated that had principal switching frequencies between 220 Hz and 3000 Hz. A time filter
was also applied that excluded events with durations longer than one cycle.
