The measurement procedures and settings for harmonic/flicker standards testing have been precisely defined. Engineers must also stay current with the specialized knowledge and up-to-date information required to periodically review the contents of the standards and perform the standards conformance tests. The model 761922 Harmonic/Flicker Measurement Software enables engineers without specialized knowledge to perform a range of operations using the WT3000 Precision Power Analyzer including judging standards compliance and outputting test reports.

Software Enabling Measurement Complying with Harmonics Standard
Harmonic Current Measurement Value List Displays harmonic measurement data as a single list. |
Viewing Trends You can capture various types of data measured into your PC at 200ms fixed intervals. Thus, you can view trends graphically. This feature lets you monitor power supply voltage fluctuations, changes in current consumption and other time-based variations. |
Harmonic Current Bar Graph Evaluates whether harmonic data is within the standard limit value, and displays the result as a bar graph. The display of evaluation results is color-coded, in colors such as red and blue.2 |
Measurement Value Judgement Graph Measures the harmonic current over the set observation time, and evaluates it in conformance with the standard. Evaluation results are displayed as PASS or FAIL.2 |
Waveform Observation Lets you display voltage or current signal waveforms, and measure frequencies and peak values. Moving the cursor lets you display values for the displayed waveform. |
|
2:Evaluations conforming to the IEC61000-3-2 Ed. 3.0 Am2 |
Automatic Report Generation You can print harmonic measurement results as value lists and graphs, and save image data. Titles and comments can be entered in reports, letting you enter information such as measurement dates/times, device names or control numbers. |
Entering Settings on the WT3000 from Your PC
You can enter settings on the WT3000 from your PC. The wiring method, filters, and scaling settings can be modified. |
Converting Data to CSV Format
Waveform data and harmonic current values can be saved on the PC. Measured data can be saved to .csv files for easy access by spreadsheet programs such as EXCEL. |
Voltage Fluctuation and Flicker Measurement
Voltage fluctuation and flicker measurement complying with IEC 61000-3-3 is executed. Calculates all the voltage fluctuation and flicker values of dc, dmax, d(t), Pst, and Plt, compares them to the preset limits, and indicates the total judgment.

Displaying the Trend Graph You can show Trend Graph View. You can select from the following measurement functions. |
|
dc: | Relative steady-state voltage change |
dmax: | Maximum relative voltage change |
d(t): | Period during which relative voltage change exceeds the threshold level |
idc: | Instantaneous relative steady-state voltage change |
idmax: | Instantaneous maximum relative voltage change |
id(t): | Period during which instantaneous relative voltage change exceeds the threshold level |
PF: | Instantaneous flicker sensation (IFS) |
Displaying the CPF Graph You can select the element and color to be displayed on the CPF graph. Up to four elements can be displayed simultaneously. You can set a separate color for each element. |
You can create reports using the data measured with the software. |
