WARNING Indicates that incorrect operation presents a significant hazard thatcould result in serious injury or death to the user.

CAUTIONIndicates that incorrect operation presents a possibility of injury tothe user or damage to the product.

NOTE Advisory items related to performance or correct operation of theproduct.

The following symbols in this manual indicate the relative importance ofcautions and warnings.

Overvoltage CategoriesTo ensure safe use of measurement, IEC 60664 establishes safety levelstandards for different locations, classified as CAT I through CAT IV, andcalled overvoltage categories. These are defined as follows.CAT : Secondary electrical circuits that are connected to a wall outlet

through a transformer or similar device.CAT : Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to a wall outlet via

a power cord (portable tools, household appliances, etc.)CAT : Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installations)

connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders between thedistribution panel and outlets.

CAT : The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, then to thepower meter and to the primary overcurrent protection device.

Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments withgreater momentary energy, so a measurement device designed for CAT IIIenvironments can endure greater momentary energy than a device designedfor CAT II. Use of a lower category product in a higher category environmentcould result in a severe accident and must be carefully avoided.

Notes on Using the Power Meter────────────────────────────────────────────────────

NOTE

Notes on Using the Power Meter

・This power meter uses the calculations indicated in the specifications inorder to determine apparent power (S), power factor (λ), and calculatedreactive power on the basis of the measured voltage (U), current (I), andactive power. In the 3166, the apparent power (S), power factor (λ), andcalculated reactive power (Q) are calculated according to formulas indicatedin the specifications, based on the voltage (U), the current (I), and the activepower (P). In addition, when using the active power meter method, theapparent power (S) and power factor (λ) are derived from the measuredactive power (P) and reactive power (Q). The values displayed by this powermeter may differ from those produced by other testers that are based ondifferent principles of operation or testers that use different calculations.

It should be noted that if the measurement line is a three-phase three-wireline and the waveform is distorted (e.g., on the primary side of the inverter),the values of reactive power (Q), apparent power (S), and power factor (λ)differ from those on a measuring instrument based on a different calculationformula.

・The integrated values produced by this power meter are derived throughsoftware calculations based on the power measurements. The integratedvalue may differ from the value produced by a tester that has a differentresponse speed, sampling rate, or calculation method. In addition, thispower meter is designed specifically to measure alternating current, andcannot be used to measure lines carrying direct current.The power factor is calculated for display using the values of active powerand apparent power before zero-suppression. Note that even if the activepower (P) and apparent power (S) on display are zero, the power factor (λ)may not be zero.In order to assure accurate measurements, allow this unit to warm up for atleast 30 minutes before using it. The displayed value is forced to zero forinputs that are 0.4% or less of the measurement range. (zero suppressfunction) Although this power meter has a frequency measurementfunction, proper measurement may not be possible in cases where the inputwaveform is clearly distorted.

・When using external transformers (PT and CT), the phase difference mayintroduce a large error into power measurements. For accuratemeasurements, use PTs and CTs with as small a phase difference aspossible.

・When the voltage or current on the line being measured exceeds themeasurement range of this power meter, use an external PT and CT, and donot exceed the maximum allowed input. When using a PT and CT, use thescaling function and take direct readings.

1.4 PLL Synchronization────────────────────────────────────────────────────

CAUTION ・The fundamental frequency ranges that can be measured are 45 to 66 Hzand 360 to 440 Hz. Measurement is not possible outside of these ranges.

・Frequency-controlled lines, such as the secondary line of an inverter, cannotbe measured.

・The displayed value may be unstable due to frequency fluctuations on theline being measured or due to momentary loss of power.

・If PLL synchronization is lost, the 3166 enters the "PLL unlocked" state, andswitches to the fixed clock for measurement. Note that even in this case, thefrequency measurement is displayed in a range from 40 to 500 Hz. Thevalues obtained during integrated measurement and demand measurementare measured with the fixed clock in the PLL unlocked state. Once the PLLsynchronization stabilizes and the lock is regained, the power meter recoversautomatically.* The PLL synchronization is warning displayed during the PLL unlocked.・A measured value may be displayed when the base frequency of the line

being measured is less than 45 Hz, but that measured value is invalid.・If the line being measured is carrying direct current, accurate measurement

is not possible.

1.4 PLL Synchronization

This power meter is capable of accurate measurement because it uses the PLLsynchronization method, in which digital sampling is conducted insynchronization with the fundamental frequency of the line that is beingmeasured.Keep the following points in mind in order to assure the proper use of thisfeature.

Chapter 4Wiring Methods

4.1 Before Measurement

This chapter explains how to wire the power meter to the line being measured,and how to check for incorrect wiring.

Page 52: Manual Hioki 3166

30────────────────────────────────────────────────────

4.2 Cautions Concerning Wiring────────────────────────────────────────────────────

DANGER Clamp sensor should only be connected to the secondary side of abreaker, so the breaker can prevent an accident if a short circuit occurs.Connections should never be made to the primary side of a breaker,because unrestricted current flow could cause a serious accident if ashort circuit occurs.

If the secondary circuit is accidentally opened while power is flowing tothe CT, extremely high voltage will be generated at the connector on thesecondary side, which could damage the insulation and create a highlydangerous condition. Although this power meter can takemeasurements through the clamp on sensors without opening thesecondary side, whenever you are connecting another meter, be certainto short the secondary side before connecting that meter.

Connect the clamp-on sensors or voltage cords to the product first, andthen to the active lines to be measured. Observe the following to avoidelectric shock and short circuits.

・Do not allow the voltage cable clips to touch two wires at the sametime. Never touch the edge of the metal clips.

・When the clamp sensor is opened, do not allow the metal part of theclamp to touch any exposed metal, or to short between

Voltage input connectors 1 to 3 are common for input connector N, eachinput connectors are not insulated.

Do not connect the unnecessary number of cords.

WARNING To avoid electric shock when measuring live lines, wear appropriateprotective gear, such as insulated rubber gloves, boots and a safetyhelmet.

CAUTION ・In order to prevent electric shock and short-circuit accidents, use thesupplied voltage input cables to connect the line to be measured to thevoltage input terminals.

・When the power is turned off, do not apply voltage or current to the voltageinput terminal, clamp on sensor. Doing so may damage the unit.

4.2 Cautions Concerning Wiring

When connecting the power meter to a live line, be sure to observe thefollowing warnings.

Measurement data can be printed out at any time by pressing the PRINT key.When printing the data on the display screen, activate the "data hold" featurefirst and then print the data.

(4) Automatic output

Data can be printed automatically at a predetermined interval in "IntegratedMeasurement" mode and in "Demand Measurement" mode. Manual printingis still possible in this case.

In both measurement modes:

1. Set "RS-232C auto output" to "ON".

2. In "Integrated Measurement" mode, set the output interval time.In "Demand Measurement" mode, the data is output each demand period.For details on these settings, refer to section 6.5.5, "Output Interval Time,"section 6.5.9, "RS-232C Automatic Output," and section 7.5.8, "RS-232CAutomatic Output."

3. Once measurement starts, the data is printed out automatically at thepredetermined interval time.

Page 177: Manual Hioki 3166

155────────────────────────────────────────────────────

10.4 Operating Procedure────────────────────────────────────────────────────

NOTE

CAUTION Using the printer in a high-temperature or high-humidity environment should beavoided at all costs. This can seriously reduce the printer life.

Reference Printing timeBecause one roll of 1196 Printing Paper is 25 meters long, it is possible tocalculate the length of time that measurement and printing can continue bycalculating the length of one printout of data.For example, when printing all items for a three-phase, four-wire line in"Integrated Measurement" mode, one printout of data requires approximately360 mm of paper (about 4 mm/line). ((Approximately 193 mm, except for themaximum and minimum values.) If the interval time is 30 minutes, thelength of time that measurement and printing can continue is calculated asfollows:

Number of printouts: N = 25 m/360 mm = 69 printoutsContinuous operation time: T = interval time x N = 30 minutes x 69= 2070 minutes = 34 hours and 30 minutesA red line appears on the last 60 centimeters of the recording paper,indicating that only a little paper remains.

Special printed outputJust as with the display, "o.r." is printed for out-of-range data, and "----"is printed for invalid data.

・Because the items that are printed out vary with the measurement mode, setthe items for each mode separately. Note that the data that is output is thesame, whether for manual printing or automatic output.・Be sure to load enough paper so that the printer will not run out.・For details on how to print out the setting conditions, refer to the section

entitled, "Printing Out the Settings," in each chapter describing the differentmeasurement modes and Setting mode.

11.3.1 Messages

Messages

Program messages

Response messages

Command messages

Query messages

Execution confirmation messages

11.3 Details of the RS-232C Interface

Messages are classified as shown below:

Of these, program messages are those received by the unit from the personalcomputer, while response messages are those sent from the unit to thepersonal computer.

(1) Program messages

Program messages can be divided into either command messages or querymessages.Command messages are orders for control of the unit, such as for makingsettings or for reset or the like.Query messages are orders for responses relating to results of operation,results of measurement, or the state of device settings.

(2) Response messages

After a query message has been received, a response message is produced themoment that its syntax has been checked. It is also possible to change themessage unit separator of response messages from the semicolon ";" to thecomma "," , using the command "TRANsmit:SEParator". Initially thisseparator is set to the semicolon ";".

A space is represented by " "(space) in this manual.

Headers on "V +101.2E+0;A +1.200E-3"Headers off "+101.2E+0;+1.200E-3"

(3) Execution confirmation message

Execution confirmation message is the numeric data created by analyzing andexecuting one line of data (data up to the terminator) from the personalcomputer. This numeric data is returned to the personal computer. Thepersonal computer and this unit are synchronized by means of this data.

11.3.2 Command Syntax

CURRentCURR

Accepted

CURRECUR 

Error

11.3.3 Headers

The names of commands for the 3166 are as far as possible mnemonic.Furthermore, all commands have a long form, and an abbreviated short form.In command references in this manual, the short form is written in upper caseletters, and then this is continued in lower case letters so as to constitute thelong form. Either of these forms will be accepted during operation, butintermediate forms will not be accepted. Further, during operation both lowercase letters and upper case letters will be accepted without distinction.

Response messages generated by the 3166 are in long form and in upper caseletters.

Whether or not headers are prefixed to response messages is set by the"HEADer" command. It is essential to prefix headers to program messages.

(1) Command program headers

There are two types of command: simple commands, compound commands,and standard commands.

Simple command headerThis header is a sequence of letters and digits.

HEADer

Compound command headerThis header is made up from a plurality of simple command type headersmarked off by colons.

VOLTage:RANGe

(2) Query program headers

These are for commands used for interrogating the unit about the results ofoperations, about measured values, or about the current states of settings forthe unit. As shown by the following examples, they can be recognized asqueries by a question mark appearing after the program header. The structureof the header is identical to that of a command program header, with "?"always being affixed to the last command. There are queries possible in eachof the three previously described types of command form.

MEASure:NORMal? <data1> to <data10>SCALe:PT?

11.3 Details of the RS-232C Interface────────────────────────────────────────────────────

11.3.4 Delimiter

NOTE

11.3.5 Separators

The power meter accepts the LF code as the message terminator.Furthermore, the following can be selected as the response messageterminator with the "TRANsmit:TERMinator" command:

1. LF

2. CR

3. CR and LF

The initial selection are three.

For details on the "TRANsmit:TERMinator" command, refer to section 11.4,"Command Reference."

(1) Message unit separator

A semicolon ";" is used as a message unit separator when it is desired to setout several messages on a single line.

":SCALe:PT 2;:SCALe:CT 4;:AVERaging 10"

(2) Header separator

In a message which has a header and data, a space (represented by " "(space)in the examples) is used as the header separator to separate the header fromthe data.

":VOLTage:AUTO ON" (actually, " " is not displayed.)

(3) Data separator

If a message has several data items, commas are required as data separatorsfor separating these data items from one another.

":INTEgrate:DATAout:ITEM 7,63,3"

11.3 Details of the RS-232C Interface────────────────────────────────────────────────────

11.3.6 Data Formats

The 3166 uses character string data and decimal numeric data, and the typeused varies according to the command in question.

(1) Character data

Character string data must always begin with an alphabetic character, andthe following characters can be either alphabetic characters or numerals.Although in character data either upper case letters or lower case letters areaccepted, response messages output by the 3166 are always in upper caseletters.

":VOLTage:AUTO"

(2) Decimal data

The numeric data values are all represented in decimal, in three formatsidentified as NR1, NR2 and NR3, and each of these can appear as either asigned number or an unsigned number. Unsigned numbers are taken aspositive.

Further, if the accuracy of a numerical value exceeds the range with which the3166 can deal, it is rounded off. (5 and above is rounded up; 4 and below isrounded down).

NR1 format: integer data (+12, -23, 34)

NR2 format: fixed point numbers (+1.23, -23.45, 3.456)

NR3 format: floating point numbers (+1.2E-2, -2.3E+4)

The term "NRf format" includes all these three formats.When the 3166 is receiving it accepts NRf format. When it is sendingresponse messages it utilizes whichever one of the formats NR1 to NR3 isindicated in the particular command.

All of the following examples set the PT 10: ":SCALe:PT 10" ":SCALe:PT 10.2" ":SCALe:PT 1.04E1"

11.3.7 Abbreviation of Compound Commands

NOTE

When several compound commands have a common head portion, for example:SCAL:PT and :SCAL:CT, then, when and only when writing them directlyfollowing on from one another, this common portion (:SCAL: in this example)can be omitted from each command. This common portion is called "thecurrent path", by analogy with the general concept of the current directory inthe directory structure of UNIX or MS-DOS, and until it is cleared theanalysis of following commands is performed by deeming them to be precededby the current path which has been curtailed in the interests of brevity. Thismanner of using the current path is shown in the following example:

Normal expression

":SCALe:CT 2;:SCALe:PT 10;:SCALe:CT?"

Abbreviated expression:

":SCALe:CT 2;PT 10;CT?"

This becomes the current path, and can be curtailed from the followingcommands.The current path is cleared when the power is turned on, when a system resetis performed by key input, when a colon ":" appears at the start of a command,and when delimiter is detected.

・Messages of standard command form can be executed without relation to thecurrent path.However, in order to prevent confusion with abbreviated forms and mistakesin operation, it is recommended practice always to prefix ":" to headers.

・With the 3166, there are nine possible current paths:

":CURRent:"":DEMand:"":DISPlay:"":INTEgrate:"":MEASure:"":NORMal:"":SCALe:"":TRANsmit:"":VOLTage:"

11.3.8 Output Queue

11.3.9 Input Buffer

Response messages accumulate in the output queue and are read out as dataand cleared by the personal computer. The output queue is also cleared in thefollowing circumstances:

1. Turing on the power

2. Reset by key input

3. Query error.

If a new message is received while there is data in the output queue, theoutput queue is cleared and a query error is generated.

The capacity of the power meter’s input buffer is 1024 bytes. If more than1024 bytes of data are to be transmitted and the buffer becomes full, data isread and discarded until analysis of the data in the input buffer is complete.(This applies when XON/XOFF control and RTS/CTS control are disabled.)

11.6 Cautions Concerning the RS-232C Interface────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Symptom Cause / Treatment

The RS-232C has stoppedworking completely.

Are the cables properly connected?

Are both the power meter and the personal computer on?

Are the cables properly connected?

Transmission on the RS-232Cis not taking place properly.

Is the personal computer message terminator (delimiter) setcorrectly?

Do the power meter’s settings for the device connected to theRS-232C interface (baud rate, data length, parity check, stop bits,flow control, terminator) match the settings in the controller?

After transmission on the RS-232C, the keys on the 3166freeze up and have no effect.

Cancel the power meter’s key lock function and exit the remotestate.

Are both the power meter and the controller on?

When attempting to read datausing a Basic INPUT statement,the RS-232C hangs.

Be sure to transmit one query before each Basic INPUTstatement.

Did the query that was sent generate an error?

Although a command has beentransmitted, nothing hashappened.

Did an error occur?

Not enough data was loaded. If the data includes any commas, try using the "LINE INPUT"statement.

Sending several queries,produces only one response.

Did an error occur?

Read in the response for each query that is sent, one at a time. Ifyou want to read in responses all at one time, use the messageunit separator to combine all of the queries into one line.

The query response messagedoes not agree with the 3166display.

Due to the response message being produced at the instant thatthe 3166 receives the query, there is a possibility that it may notagree with the display at the instant that the controller reads it in.

Chapter 13Using the D/A Output

(Optional)

The 9594 D/A OUTPUT is a factory option for the 3166.If the 9594 D/A OUTPUT is installed, the power meter can be used to outputanalog (D/A) output for the voltage, current, power, etc.

Page 272: Manual Hioki 3166

250────────────────────────────────────────────────────

13.1 Output Connection Method────────────────────────────────────────────────────

WARNINGTo avoid electrocution, turn off the power to all devices before pluggingorunplugging any of the interface connectors.

CAUTION ・In order to prevent damage to the unit and the clamp on sensor, never plugin or unplug the sensor connector when the power is turned on. (The D/Aoutput is not insulated from the voltage and current inputs.)

・Although there are four channels, they are not insulated from one another.・Use the special cables provided (the 9441 CONNECTION CABLE) for

connection to the D/A output.

Cable Connection

NOTE

13.1 Output Connection Method

As shown in the diagram, align the special connection cable with the connectorguide notch on the D/A output connector and then plug the cable in. (Theconnector has a locking mechanism.)When disconnecting the cable, grasp the plastic portion of the cable connectorand pull it out of the connector.

Plastic cable connectors are used. Attempting to forcibly push the connectorin without aligning it with the connector guide notch, or forcibly pulling it outwithout releasing the lock will damage the connector.

D/A Output Response Characteristics (1)

13.3 Output Response Characteristics

This power meter uses two cycles (when measuring at 50/60 Hz; 16 cycleswhen measuring at 400 Hz) as one sample and takes measurements bycontinuously performing various calculations on the data (without losing thewaveform). This data is displayed intermittently, depending on the displayupdate rate, as the instantaneous values. In contrast, in NormalMeasurement mode the D/A output continuously outputs all measurementvalues as they are continuously measured.Therefore, even transient changes in the input waveform generated by a powerspike, for example, will be faithfully output. The output response is different,however, in Integrated Measurement or Demand Measurement mode.

(1) Normal Measurement mode

In this mode, the output is updated every two cycles when measuring at 50/60Hz (50 Hz: about 40 ms; 60 Hz: about 34 ms) and every 16 cycles whenmeasuring at 400 Hz (about 34 ms).

Although the output update rate is every two or sixteen cycles, there may be adelay of 3 to 4 cycles (or 24 to 32 cycles when measuring at 400 Hz) betweenthe input waveform and the actual output on the D/A output.

NOTE

(2) Integrated mode and Demand Measurement mode

The output is updated according to the display update rate.

・When using D/A output, the optional 9594 D/A OUTPUT must already beinstalled in the 3166 unit. (If the 9594 has been installed, a sticker indicatingthat it has is applied to the rear cover of the power meter.)・Use Normal Measurement mode if fast output updating is required.・The output rate is DC±5 V/f.s. However, in the event of an over-range signal

(display: o.r.), approximately DC±6.6 V is output.When outputting an integrated value as a D/A output, a special output rate isset.Refer to section 6.5.11, "Integrated Output Rate," or section 7.5.10, "IntegratedOutput Rate," depending on the measurement mode.・When the "Wiring Check" screen is being displayed or a wiring check is in

progress, the data that is stored and output is the data prior to entering thatscreen.・If the ratio of PT to CT is set to a value other than 1, the f.s. of the range is a

multiple of the scaling

13.4 Output Waveform

Because the output waveform format differs according to the D/A output item,refer to the examples shown below.

・If the reactive power meter method is used, only positive data is output forthe apparent power.・In the case of an plus over-range signal to the positive side, approximately 6.6

V is output, for minus over-range, approximately - 6.6 V is output.・When the display is being held, the data that is being held is output in

Integrated Measurement or Demand Measurement mode.・In the Normal Measurement mode, outputs are updated irrespective of the

hold status of the display.・If the power integration increases uniformly, once it reaches the full-scale

setting the output voltage returns 0 V once and then increases again. (Thelevel is recorded as a sawtooth wave.)

Chapter 16Operation in the Event of a

Loss of Power

Circumstances may sometimes result in the supply of power to the 3166 beinginterrupted for some reason while taking measurements. Although themeasurement operation halts for the duration of the power loss, the 3166 doeshave a backup function that saves the setting conditions and measurementdata gathered up to that point.This chapter explains how to operation in the event of a loss of power eachmeasurement mode.

Page 306: Manual Hioki 3166

284────────────────────────────────────────────────────

16.1 Operation in the Event of a Loss of Power────────────────────────────────────────────────────

16.1 Operation in the Event of a Loss of Power

(1) Screen displayThe screen display goes blank.

(2) Clock and calendarThe clock and calendar continue to operate normally.

(3) Setting conditionsAll settings are saved.

(4) Measurement dataIf the display data was being held when power was lost, all of the data thatwas being held is retained.

1. Normal Measurement modeThe minimum and maximum values are retained.

2. Integrated Measurement modeThe minimum and maximum values and the integrated values are retained.

3. Demand Measurement modeThe minimum/maximum values and the demand values from the previousdemand period, and the integrated values are retained.

(5) Printer operationAfter power is restored, the printer prints a message indicating that there wasa loss of power.

1. During manual printingPrinting stops immediately. The printing operation status is not retained, soit is necessary to restart the manual printing operation after power isrestored.

2. During automatic outputIf printing is in progress, printing stops immediately.

Reference If the printer is running off of batteries, all data that is sent from the 3166 isprinted.

(6) FDD unit operation

1. While loadingIf a floppy disk operation is in progress when power is lost, the data that wasbeing handled becomes invalid. Restart the loading operation after power isrestored.

2. During a manual save/automatic output to FDIf a floppy disk operation is in progress when power is lost, the data that wasbeing handled becomes invalid. In the worst case, the file itself may bedameged. After power is restored, if automatic output was being used whenpower was lost, a character string indicating that power was lost is written tothe FD.

16.3 Integrated Measurement Mode and Demand Measurement Mode────────────────────────────────────────────────────

CAUTION A loss of power while the power meter is in standby mode has no effects.

CAUTION Although the start of processing in this case is later than the start time that wasset, the processing assumes that the measured values during the interval were"0". The power meter stops measuring at the scheduled stop time.

16.3 Integrated Measurement Mode and Demand

Measurement Mode

(1) Data and setting conditions that are retained

1. Measurement dataIf the display data was being held when power was lost, all of the data thatwas being held is retained.Integrated measurement mode: The minimum/maximum values and theintegrated values just before power was lost are retained.Demand measurement mode: The minimum/maximum values and the demandvalues from the previous demand period, and the integrated values areretained.

2. Setting conditionsThe setting conditions when the power was lost are retained.

(2) Operation after power is restored

1. If power was lost while in standby mode

a. Operation when power is restored prior to the time set for the start ofprocessing

The power meter goes back into standby mode and then begins integrated ordemand measurement when the set time arrives.

b. Operation when power is restored after the time set for the start ofprocessing

The power meter begins integrated or demand measurement as soon as thepower is restored.

2. If power was lost while integrated measurement or demand measurement wasin progress

The power meter does not keep track of the elapsed time for integratedmeasurement while the power is off. (Integrated measurement is paused, notstopped.)After power is restored, a message indicating that a power failure hadoccurred is displayed on the screen and integrated measurement resumes.(Pressing any key causes the message to disappear.)

b. If power was lost while integrated measurement or demand measurementwas in progress

After power is restored, the floppy disk drive does nothing when power isrestored.

Reference The 3166 battery backup・As a countermeasure against sudden loss of power, the 3166 CLAMP ON Hi

TESTER has a built-in battery that backs up memory containing the settingconditions, minimum/maximum value data, and integrated data (includingdemand measurements).If the display data is being held, the battery backs up all of that data aswell.・When the power is turned on, the setting conditions that were in effect the

last time that the power was turned off remain in effect.・Because the battery backup maintains the integrated value data, it is

necessary to press the Data Reset key and clear the existing data in"Integrated Measurement" mode if the results of the upcoming integratedmeasurements are not to be added to the existing integrated value data.

* The polarity sign for the active power P indicates the direction in which powerflows during consumption (P) and regeneration (-P).The polarity sign for the reactive power Q is indicated by "+Q" for a laggingpower factor and by "-Q" for a leading power factor.The polarity sign for the apparent power S is indicated by "+S" when powerconsumption occurs, and by "-S" when power regeneration occurs.

* "h" indicates elapsed time.* "Σ (+P)" etc., indicate the integrated power value from the start of integration

until the end of the elapsed period.* "|-S|" and "|-Q|" indicate absolute values.* The transformer capacity can be set as desired.* Because integration by the reactive power meter method is performed for both

polarities (lag and lead), consumption/regeneration power flows that occurduring integration are integrated with the value that has the same respectivepolarity.

Appendix 3.1 Active Power

NOTE

Appendix 3.2 Reactive Power

Appendix 3 Active Power Consumption/Regeneration,

and Reactive Power and Power Factor Lead

and Lag

In the 3166, the polarity of active power is positive ("+") for consumptionpower and negative ("-") for regeneration power. The phase difference of thecurrent versus the voltage for consumption power ranges from -90。 to +90。,and for regeneration power ranges from -180。 to -90。 and from +90。 to +180。.Of the types of power mentioned above, only the data for consumption poweris added for the consumption power integration +WP. Similarly, only the datafor regeneration power is added for -WP. ΣWP indicates the total powerintegration, balancing consumption and regeneration.

Normally, power that is supplied (consumed) flows from the power supply tothe load, but in equipment that uses a motor for motive power (such as anelevator), power sometimes returns to the power supply (is regenerated) whenthe load is light, etc.

This power meter permits selection of one of two measurement methods forreactive power.

a.Not using the reactive power meter method

This method, used in most power meters, derives the reactive power indirectlyfrom calculations based on direct measurements of active power and apparentpower (the product of the real values for voltage and current, includingharmonic wave components). Therefore, in cases where the composition of theharmonic wave components included in the voltage and current differs, thepolarity only is determined through the reactive power method. For laggingphases, "+" is added; for leading phases, "-" is added. The phase difference ofthe current versus the voltage for consumption power ranges from 0。 to +180。

for both lagging and leading phases, respectively.b. Using the reactive power meter method

This method measures the reactive power directly, in the same manner asreactive power meters that are installed at the locations of high-demand powerconsumers. Using this method eliminates the effects of an imbalance orasymmetry between lines being measured. In addition, measurement valuesare calculated using only those voltage and current components that are of thesame frequency.The polarity is the same as when not using the reactive power meter method.

Appendix 3 Active Power Consumption/Regeneration, and Reactive Power and Power Factor Lead and Lag────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Input Waveform Sine Wave

Reference Differences in measured valuesNote that some voltage and current waveforms will yield different results forreactive power and power factor measurements when each of themeasurement methods described above is selected.

・When the voltage and current waveforms are both sine waves (or haveidentical waveforms)In the case of a sine wave such as that shown in the diagram, only the basewave is present, so the same measured values will be obtained, regardless ofwhich measurement method is used.

・When the voltage waveform is a sine wave and the current waveform is aunique distorted waveform (There are harmonic wave components in thecurrent.)In the case of a sine wave such as that shown in the diagram, using thereactive power meter method will yield a small reactive power value and alarge (good) power factor.This difference arises as a result of the principles described below.When the reactive power meter method is not used, in order to determine thereactive power (var1), the apparent power (VA1) derived from the product ofthe actual current and voltage values includes not only the base wavecomponent but also the harmonic wave components. The power factor in thiscase is labelled λ1.Conversely, when using the reactive power meter method, only components ofthe same frequency appear as measured values because the reactive power isdetermined directly, like the active power (P). Therefore, in this example, thecurrent waveform has many harmonic wave components, and the reactivepower (var2) of the component that has the same frequency as the voltage (i.e.,just the base wave) is smaller than that measured by the method describedabove. Because the apparent power (VA2) derived from this P and var2 is alsosmaller as a result, the power factor (λ2) increases, since it is derived fromthe ratio of the active power and the apparent power.

var1 > var2VA1 > VA2λ1 < λ2

Regardless of whether the reactive power meter method is used or not, thepower factor is derived from calculations based on direct measurements ofactive power and apparent power.

Appendix 4 Sampling in the 3166────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Appendix 4 Sampling in the 3166

This power meter uses two cycles (when measuring at 50/60 Hz; 16 cycleswhen measuring at 400 Hz) as one sample and takes measurements bycontinuously performing various calculations on the data (without losing thewaveform). This data is displayed intermittently, depending on the displayupdate rate, as the instantaneous values. In contrast, theminimum/maximum values are displayed by finding the minimum andmaximum values in all of the continuously measured sample values.Because all of the continuously measured sample value data is integrated forthe integrated values in Integrated Measurement mode and DemandMeasurement mode, even transient waveforms can be measured.In Normal Measurement mode the D/A output continuously outputs all of thecontinuously measured sample values.Therefore, even transient changes in the input waveform generated by a powerspike, for example, will be faithfully detected or output.In Integrated Measurement or Demand Measurement mode, however, the D/Aoutput follows the display update rate.

NOTE

Appendix 6 Packing the 3166 in the 9383 Carrying Case

The optional 9383 CARRYING CASE is useful when you need to carry the3166 and take measurements in the field. The carrying case can accommodatethe 3166 with the 9595 FDD UNIT attached, three 9291 CLAMP ONSENSOR, the 9438 VOLTAGE CORD, the instruction manual, and otheritems.The carrying case includes a window that allows you to read the displayscreen without needing to remove the 3166 from its carrying case. A side flapalso allows you to insert and remove floppy disks.

Reference When putting the 3166 with the 9595 FDD UNIT attached into the carryingcase, remove the sponge padding from the carrying case.

・The carrying case is not designed to be waterproof or dustproof. Do not usethe carrying case under dusty or wet conditions.・Gently wipe dirt from the surface of the 3166 to the carrying case unit with

a soft cloth moistened with a small amount of water or mild detergent. Donot try to clean the unit using cleaners containing organic solvents such asbenzine, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners, or gasoline. They maycause discoloration or damage.

Appendix 7 Glossary of Terms────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Appendix 7 Glossary of Terms

RMS:

Root Mean Square value for a voltage or current waveform. This value is usedto represent the size of an AC signal. Because the 3166 converts waveformdata to a digital signal before performing this operation, even distorted signalscan be measured accurately.

CT:

Current Transformer. When measuring strong current, the currenttransformer is used to reduce the current to an appropriate level beforesupplying it to the power meter.

CT ratio:

This ratio is used to convert the current value on the secondary side of the CTto the primary side.

PT:

Potential Transformer. When measuring high voltage, the potentialtransformer is used to reduce the voltage to an appropriate level beforesupplying it to the power meter.

PT ratio:

This ratio is used to convert the voltage value on the secondary side of the PTto the primary side.

Chattering:

When a relay contact closes, chattering is a phenomenon in which the contactdoes not close right away but quickly opens and closes repeatedly.

PLL:

Phase Locked Loop. Synchronization is attained with the base wavecomponent of the signal being measured, and the signal is constantly sampledat 256 points over two cycles.

D/A output:

Although this is also generally known as analog output, the 3166 is a digitalsampling power meter, and therefore all measured values are processeddigitally. Therefore, the analog output is derived from digital data that isconverted into analog signals.
