DAQ002 In this chapter This chapter is divided into five sections: Section Title See Page A Setup New Circuit 7-3 B Monitor Same Circuit 7-26 C Load Setup Template from Card 7-28 D View Data from Memory Card 7-29 E Instrument Settings 7-32 7-2 4300-DAQ Operator’s Manual Section A Setup New Circuit Overview Introduction Setup new circuit takes the user through a step-by-step procedure to ensure correct configuration and setup process. A series of screens prompts for information about the circuit to be monitored, then the unit automatically turns on the correct channels, sets the parameter thresholds and waveform capture settings. Setup modes of Task DAQ allows users to monitor records in five setup menus: Standard Power operation Quality, Current Inrush, Fault Recorder, Long-term Timed Recording, and Continuous Data Logging. Selecting any of these setup categories automatically sets trigger and capture conditions. The advanced users are free to mix and match settings (see Chapter 9 Advanced Setup Options: Tweaking Task DAQ). Setup modes Standard Power Quality, Demand, Energy: Task DAQ algorithms automatically descriptions evaluate existing RMS and waveform conditions to optimize setups and reliably capture data. This feature ensures that the first-time user gets the expected results, while providing the experienced user with the ability to tweak thresholds for specific applications. Either way, the necessary data used to identify critical records and optimize mitigation solutions is viewable in real time on the instrument screen and recorded into the memory card as it occurs. Current Inrush: Determining system characteristics during inrush conditions such as impedance changes during motor energization or the I2t curve of a breaker trip is key to enhanced power system performance. Inrush-type events such as motor start-up typically requires extended duration cycle-by-cycle recording. With the DAQ card, users can capture and store detailed data to evaluate system performance against specifications and reduce or eliminate any associated power quality phenomena. By operating in the inrush mode, the instrument will capture and store highly detailed data to a CompactFlash memory card in real time, then rearm and be ready to capture data during the next test run or record. Continued on next page Start Menu 7-3 Overview, Continued Setup modes Fault Recorder: A fault is defined as a defect in a wire circuit due to descriptions unintentional grounding, a break in the line, a crossing or shorting of the wires, etc. The triggering of digital fault recorders is considered a disturbance that requires extended duration cycle-by-cycle recording. The DAQ card is equipped with a test set to locate failures detected in various components of assorted equipment. Long-term Timed Recording, Demand, Energy: Performing a statistically valid power quality energy survey requires the capture of a set of basic data over an extended period of time. The DAQ card has been designed to facilitate long- term monitoring by collecting min/max/avg data at each predetermined interval in order to perform post-process harmonic and other record analysis. The PP4300 equipped with Task DAQ is designed to be left unattended in the field, recording statistically representative data for long-term analysis. Using Dranetz- BMI lockable-portable case option, this study can be carried out in harsh weather environments. Continuous Data Logging, Demand, Energy: This logs the RMS and power values once per second for totally gapless logging. Cyclic triggers are disabled.

For successful card data transfer, keep the following points in mind: transfer • Task DAQ supports a maximum DOS directory size of 128MB. Required CompactFlash memory card capacity is at least 32MB. • CompactFlash cards allow users to store multiple files in one card. The Site name will be used as the filename for record files (i.e. if the site name is Dranetz-Site, the filename will be Dranetz-Site00.MDB). A number is automatically appended to the name such that filenames are automatically incremented every time the user starts monitoring. • Task DAQ does not support file fragmentation. When creating a file, it will take the largest contiguous block and use that size block for data storage. Deleting files from the memory card is NOT RECOMMENDED. Whenever possible, reformat the card using Task DAQ when there is no more space available to begin new data storage.

Although Task DAQ is designed to capture data no matter what the setup is, users are able to configure combinations of setups unique to their task applications. Definitions Setup: A preset condition of parameter thresholds and waveform capture settings for each channel that determines what will constitute a record and what waveform data will be saved when this record occurs. Record: A contiguous collection of cycles that is saved when a programmed threshold is crossed. A record consists of pre-cycle(s), trigger cycle(s), and post- cycle(s). Parameter threshold: A user entered value that Task DAQ compares to a measurement to decide if a record occurs. Also called a limit. For example, if the input voltage is measured as 135 Vrms, and the parameter threshold for voltage is 132 Vrms, Task DAQ saves this limit crossing to memory as a record.

The waveshape fault triggering algorithm essentially compares the samples for each half cycle to the corresponding samples from the previous half cycle. If the samples differ by more than the Threshold tolerance for a length of time exceeding Window percent of the power frequency cycle, a waveshape fault is registered. A trigger occurs whenever voltage or current behaviors rise above or fall below the programmed thresholds. Waveform Set parameters capture waveform cycles that may be used to analyze and capture settings manage power record patterns and behaviors. In order to specify how much waveform information is recorded, the following settings are required: Setting instrument channel(s) for waveform capture - Once a record trigger is detected, instantaneous waveform information is recorded for the prescribed voltage and current channel(s). Disturbance monitoring requires that voltage be continuously sampled, and recorded only if the signals exceed specified values. Most types of disturbances require that current be recorded as well to help determine the source of the disturbance. Setting Pre-trigger cycle and Timeout cycle captures - The user can select how many cycles are to be recorded before and after the trigger occurs. To set Pre- trigger and Post-trigger cycle waveform captures, see page 9-5. Advanced Setup Options: Tweaking Task DAQ 9-3 Trigger Response Setups, Continued Setting Waveform capture can be individually set for each Voltage and Current channel. instrument On the Trigger Response Options Menu screen below, press items 1 or 2 channel for data repeatedly to display the waveform capture channel selections for Volts or capture Amps, respectively.

This is very useful in identifying what types of disturbances are causing problems. Parameter thresholds can be edited or disabled for each phase or phase-to-phase value depending on the wiring configuration. This multiple channel monitoring function allows users to program phases to determine end- of-records. It also prevents recording of meaningless data from unused (disabled) channels. Limits setup Represent valid Represent screen features phase(s) of the wiring neutral configuration system conductor Wiring configuration in use RMS metered values DAQ018 Toggle between Toggle between Show meter with min, Volts and Amps Engineering units max, average values or Percent over one second Threshold list Limit methods allow users to set the threshold units by which high and low limits of Voltage trigger and Current trigger are calculated. Threshold is the point within which the voltage or current parameter is said to be within tolerance. Thresholds are set in ranges with high limit (threshold above the normal range) and low limit (threshold below the normal range). The table on page 9-8 lists the description of parameter thresholds.

Definitions Cyclic Summary Timed - Contains properties that measure periodic sample or snapshot of the voltage and/or current waveform. This allows users to set the time (in minutes) of how often the instrument will record RMS and waveform snapshots. Cyclic Min, Max and Avg are based upon full cycle waveforms with a resolution of one half cycle. They record the RMS, Crest, and Waveshape parameters that are also used to capture a snapshot of the waveform. Note that if users did not set the threshold for a waveform capture sensitive enough, the Min, Max and Avg will still provide a record of what happened during the interval. Power Values Timed - Power parameter values are based upon all cycles during a one second interval. Data is aggregated or summarized into Min, Max and Avg values over the averaging period and stored at the end of the interval. Data measured include Watts, Power Factors, as well as the one-second RMS (not to be confused with the one cycle RMS). Demand Subinterval and Sub Intervals / Interval - Refer to the time interval used in calculating power demand values. Demand calculations are made every subinterval on the values that occurred during the most recent Demand Interval. Values set for Demand subinterval must be an integer-divisor of Demand Interval since the former applies when updating certain parameters of the latter.

A scale factor is entered into the 4300 and then multiplied automatically by the measured voltage and current so that the unit displays the correct values. NOTE: If voltage and current connections are made without using any of the above named devices, the scale factor should be set to 1. When to use Scale factors must be entered for the following conditions: • A Dranetz-BMI current probe is connected to a permanently installed CT. • The current connections are made using a Dranetz-BMI ISO box. • The voltage connections are made using a PT. • When “Other” is chosen from the Current Probe Configuration menu Non-Dranetz Refer to the CT name plate or to the manufacturer’s literature to determine the equipment scale factor. Example The scale factor for a single CT or PT is calculated from its step-up or calculation step-down ratio. If a current transformer has a step-down ratio of 1000A:5A, therefore: Scale Factor = 1000/5 = 200 9-14 4300-DAQ Operator’s Manual Scale Factors, Continued Entering scale Follow these steps to enter Scale Factors. factors Step Action 1 From the Present Setups screen, press item 5 Scale Factors.

Waveforms and displays timelines are visually interfaced showing record patterns and behaviors over threshold limits and time. Features like zoom box and 1 cycle record detail are also available for more thorough data analysis and interpretation. Record: A record is a contiguous collection of cycles that is saved when a programmed threshold is crossed. A record consists of pre-cycle(s), trigger cycle(s), and post-cycle(s). It may also contain information about other channels depending on how the user sets up the DAQ. Timeplot: A timeplot is a graph of the value of one parameter and channel over time. Timeplots aim to show a macro view interface of timespan, trigger conditions, and channels of waveforms that were recorded. Users can zoom in on timeplots for a more detailed view. What data to Data can be viewed while the instrument is monitoring or by loading a view? previously saved data file from the memory card. View data When data is recorded, the List (Record List) and Plot (Record Plot) function function keys keys appear.

Section Title See Page A Records 10-3 B Statistical Timeplots 10-14 10-2 4300-DAQ Operator’s Manual Section A Records Overview What is Record cycle displays are actual voltage or current waveforms that occurred displayed? when a certain threshold parameter was crossed. Users can select the number of waveform cycles displayed on screen using the zoom cursors discussed on pages 10-9 thru 10-10. Cyclic There are three types of measurements made on voltage or current waveform Measurements cycles with half-cycle resolution. These are: RMS: Root-Mean-Square (Effective) value Crest: Highest instantaneous magnitude Waveshape: RMS of the difference between previous cycle Measurements are made using contiguous (gapless) full cycle waveforms with half-cycle resolution. The max, min, and average of these is recorded at regular intervals, and is available for plotting using the Stats button (note that the rate is set to every ten minutes, but the user can change it). In addition to recording periodical statistical data, the instrument also records when triggered by exception. That is, if certain limits are exceeded, a snapshot of the waveform is captured. The limits determine how sensitive the instrument should be (note that the statistical information is always captured regardless of the limit settings, so the user will never be without a limit even if he/she did not set the limits to the ideal values). Cyclic Triggers The cyclic triggers record trigger cycles based upon limits being exceeded for the cyclic measurements. The RMS is the most standard measurement, while the Crest and Waveshape thresholds are particularly useful in detecting transient phenomenon lasting a fraction of a cycle, such as a capacitor switch disturbance. The cyclic triggers consist of the following: RMS High and Low Limits Crest High Limit Waveshape High Limit The user can select the limits for each of the triggers, as well as the amount of Pre- and Post- trigger cycles.

E-14 4300-DAQ Operator’s Manual Connecting to a Potential Transformer (PT), Continued Procedure Follow these steps to connect voltage probes to a potential transformer. Step Action 1 Turn off power to the PT. 2 Connect the colored voltage probes to the channel inputs on the 4300’s rear panel. 3 Connect the colored voltage probes to the PT’s connections in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 4 Turn on power to the PT. Scale factor The scale factor of the PT must be accounted for in making accurate voltage measurements. Because the monitored output voltage of the PT is stepped-down (divided) from the original voltage, this ratio must be stepped-up (multiplied) by the 4300 when voltage computations are performed. The PT scale factor is usually mounted on the PT assembly and is entered into the 4300 on the scale factors screen (refer to page 9-14). Refer to the PT manufacturer’s literature for the scale factor for the device you are using. Common Circuit Connections E-15 Connecting to a Current Transformer (CT) Safety The following safety precautions apply to current transformer (CT) connections precautions in addition to those safety precautions stated on page E-3. • Never energize a CT with the secondary open. • Never disconnect the secondary of a CT with primary energized. WARNING Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions related to the CT for exact information for connections for current monitoring. Do not exceed manufacturer’s ratings. ADVERTEN- Consulte las instrucciones del fabricante referentes a TC (transformador CIA de corriente) para la información exacta de las conexiones a fin de monitorear la corriente.

Description Current transformers, also known as instrument transformers, reduce high level currents to low level currents so they can be safely monitored. These devices are similar to PTs used for voltage measurements in that both reduce values for safe measurement. The reduction, or step-down ratio, is stated as a scale factor that is used by the 4300 to step-up the measured value to its original value. Refer to page 9-14 for the procedure for entering scale factors. Continued on next page E-16 4300-DAQ Operator’s Manual Connecting to a Current Transformer (CT), Continued Types of CTs There are single-phase CTs and polyphase CTs dependent on the source transformer used. Current reduction ratios vary widely and are also dependent on the source transformer used. Rating plates attached to the CT provide information as to the ratio and current limitations. Common Circuit Connections E-17 Connecting to an Isolated Current Transformer (ISO) Introduction Low current monitoring devices made by Dranetz are called isolated current transformers or ISO boxes. The Dranetz-BMI ISO box has a 5 A current range. See Scale Factors in Chapter 9 for information on scale factors. See Appendix A for ISO box description. Safety The following safety precautions apply to ISO box connections in addition to precautions those safety precautions stated on page E-3. • Never energize an ISO box with the secondary open. • Never disconnect the secondary of an ISO box with primary energized. WARNING Physical injury or equipment damage could result if ISO boxes are improperly connected. Do not connect an ISO box between two conductors which are at different voltage potentials. ADVERTEN- Podrían producirse lesiones físicas o daños al equipo si se conectan CIA indebidamente las cajas del transformador aislado de corriente (ISO). No conecte una caja del ISO entre dos conductores que tengan distintos potenciales de voltaje. AVERTISSE- Une mauvaise connexion des transformateurs d’intensité isolés (ISO) peut MENT provoquer des blessures corporelles ou des dégâts matériels. Ne pas relier les transformateurs ISO entre deux conducteurs de tensions différentes. WARNUNG Falsch angeschlossene ISO-Kästen (Isolierte Stromumwandler) können zu körperlichen Verletzungen oder Geräteschäden fuehren. Schliessen Sie einen ISO-Kasten nicht zwischen zwei Leiter mit unterschiedlichem Spannungspotential. Connections to The ISO box has terminal posts labeled X1 and X2 that are connected in series ISO box only with an ac current source. In normal connections, where phasing of current and voltages are important for power measurements, the X1 terminal is connected towards the source input line. Continued on next page E-18 4300-DAQ Operator’s Manual Connecting to an Isolated Current Transformer (ISO), Continued Connections to When connecting to CTs, the X1 terminal is normally connected to the H1 ISO box terminal of the device for correct reference phasing. (continued) Where power measurements or voltage/current phase relationships are not important, the X1 and X2 terminals may be connected in series with the output device in any line (hot or return) or in any relationship of X1/X2. Applications ISO boxes can be used in a number of ways. These methods include: • connecting them to the secondary of CTs for metering by the PP4300. • inserting them in series with the load current to measure low current values. • connecting them to a non-Dranetz clamp-on current transformer and using that CT to monitor current with the PP4300. ISO box The figure on the next page shows an ISO box connected from any current connection to a channel input to a permanently installed CT. The connection shown is made in current the load return line for current monitoring only. Polarities of the ISO box and transformer CT are kept in-phase by matching markings of X1 to H1. Scale factors of both devices must be multiplied together to get the resultant scale factor. Refer to Scale Factors in page 9-14 for more information about ISO box scale factors. Continued on next page Common Circuit Connections E-19 Connecting to an Isolated Current Transformer (ISO), Continued CAUTION DO NOT exceed current limits of the ISO box. PRECAUCION NO exceda los límites de corriente de la caja del ISO. ATTENTION NE PAS dépasser les limites d’intensité du transformateur ISO. VORSICHT Die aktuellen Grenzwerte für den ISO-Kasten sollten NICHT überschritten werden.
