Safety Information
Measurement categories (Overvoltage categories)
This instrument complies with CAT III (600 V) and CAT IV (300 V) safety require-
ments.
To ensure safe operation of measurement instruments, IEC 61010 establishes
safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT I to
CAT IV, and called measurement categories. These are defined as follows.
CAT I: Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical outlet

through a transformer or similar device.
CAT II: Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC electrical
outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household appliances, etc.)
CAT III: Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installations) con-
nected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the distribu-
tion panel to outlets.
CAT IV: The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the
power meter and primary overcurrent protection device (distribution
panel).
Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater

momentary energy. So a measurement device designed for CAT III environ-
ments can endure greater momentary energy than a device designed for CAT II.
Using a measurement instrument in an environment designated with a higher-
numbered category than that for which the instrument is rated could result in a
severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Never use a CAT I measuring instrument in CAT II, III, or IV environments.
The measurement categories comply with the Overvoltage Categories of the
IEC60664 Standards.

Operating Precautions
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full
benefits of the various functions.
Before Use
Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates nor-
mally to ensure that the no damage occurred during storage or ship-
ping. If you find any damage, contact your dealer or Hioki
representative.
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the
9438-05 Voltage Cord and clamp sensor leads is undamaged, and
that no bare conductors are improperly exposed. Using the instrument
in such conditions could cause an electric shock, so contact your
dealer or Hioki representative for replacements.

Using without the stand Using with the stand
See: "Opening and closing
the stand"( p.26)
8
Handling the Instrument
Do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not take measure-
ments with wet hands. This may cause an electric shock.
Never modify the instrument. Only Hioki service engineers
should disassemble or repair the instrument. Failure to observe
these precautions may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
To avoid electric shock when measuring live lines, wear appro-
priate protective gear, such as insulated rubber gloves, boots
and a safety helmet.
To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when

transporting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock
from dropping.
Handling the cords and clamps
Connect the clamp-on sensors or voltage cords to the instrument

first, and then to the active lines to be measured.
Observe the following to avoid electric shock and short circuits.
To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening hazards,
never attach the clamp to a circuit that operates at more than the
maximum rated voltage to earth (9660: 300 VAC, 9661: 600 VAC,
9667: 1000 VAC, 9669: 600 VAC, 9694:300 VAC), or over bare con-
ductors.
Maximum rated voltage to earth Clamp sensors
AC1000 V 9667
AC600 V 9661, 9669
9660, 9694, 9695-02, 9695-03,
AC300 V
9657-10, 9675
Clamp sensor and voltage cords should only be connected to the

secondary side of a breaker, so the breaker can prevent an acci-
dent 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 a short circuit occurs.
Do not allow the voltage cord clips to touch two wires at the
same time. Never touch the edge of the metal clips.
Use only the supplied 9438-05 Voltage Cord to connect the prod-
uct input terminals to the circuit to be tested.
When the clamp sensor is opened, do not allow the metal part of
the clamp to touch any exposed metal, or to short between two
lines, and do not use over bare conductors.
9
Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable

insulation.
To avoid breaking the cables, do not bend or pull them.
To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when
unplugging it from the power outlet.
Keep the cables well away from heat sources, as bare conductors
could be exposed if the insulation melts.
Be careful to avoid dropping the clamps or otherwise subjecting them
to mechanical shock, which could damage the mating surfaces of the
core and adversely affect measurement.
Be careful when handling the cords, since the conductor being mea-
sured may become very hot.
When disconnecting the BNC connector, be sure to release the lock
before pulling off the connector. Forcibly pulling the connector without
releasing the lock, or pulling on the cable, can damage the connector.
Before Turning Power On
Battery Pack Operation

For battery operation, use only the HIOKI Model 9459 Battery
Pack. We cannot accept responsibility for accidents or damage
related to the use of any other batteries.
See: "Charge the 9459 Battery Pack"( p.40)
"9.3 Battery Pack Replacement and Disposal" ( p.168)
AC Adapter Operation
Use only the supplied Model 9418-15 AC Adapter(SA130A-1225V-
S, SINO AMERICAN). AC adapter input voltage range is 100 to 240
VAC (with 10% stability) at 50/60 Hz. To avoid electrical hazards
and damage to the instrument, do not apply voltage outside of
this range.
Turn the instrument off before connecting the AC adapter to the
instrument and to AC power.
To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifica-
tions of this instrument, connect the power cord only to a 3-con-
tact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage
matches that indicated on the its power connector. Connection to
an improper supply voltage may damage the instrument and
present an electrical hazard.
See: "3.2 Connecting the AC Adapter" ( p.41)
10
Input and Measurement Precautions
The maximum input voltage is as follows:

Voltage input section: 780 Vrms, 1103 V peak.Current input sec-
tion: 1.7 Vrms, 2.4 V peak
Attempting to measure voltage in excess of the maximum input
could destroy the instrument and result in personal injury or
death.
The maximum rated voltage between the inputs and ground is
600 Vrms AC.To avoid damage to the instrument and personal
injury, never attempt to measure voltage that exceeds this rated
voltage above ground.
The voltage input terminals U1, U2, and U3 are not isolated from one
another.
To avoid electric shock accidents, use care to prevent wires from inad-
vertently touching the wrong input terminals whenever voltage is
present.
Note that the instrument may be damaged if current or voltage
exceeding the selected measurement range is applied for a long time
When the power is turned off, do not apply voltage or current to the
voltage input terminals or clamp sensor. Doing so may damage the
product.
To prevent damage to the instrument and sensor, never connect or
disconnect a sensor while the power is on, or while the sensor is
clamped around a conductor.
Correct measurement may be impossible in the presence of strong

magnetic fields, such as near transformers and high-current conduc-
tors, or in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields such as near
radio transmitters.
Measurement values
To ensure measurements are precise, warm up the instrument for at
least 30 minutes after plugging it in.
This instrument is designed to measure commercial power lines with a
frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. It cannot measure power lines of other fre-
quencies or power lines where the waveforms are controlled using an
inverter.
This instrument cannot measure power lines with superposed direct
current.
This instrument uses algorithms to measure values for input voltage
and current waveforms using (see the specifications). On device using
different operation principles or algorithms differ, differences in mea-
surement values may result.
When the display value for voltage or current is less than 1% of the
range, zero is displayed.
11
Using VT and CT
When the voltage or current for the power line being measured
exceeds the maximum rated input for this device, use an external PT
or CT.
When using an external PT or CT, make sure you use a device with a
minimal phase difference. By setting the PT or CT ratio, you can read
measurement values directly.
Instrument Storage
The storage temperature range is -10 to 50C at relative humidity not
exceeding 80%.
The battery pack should be removed when the instrument is stored.
Store the battery pack in a cool place.
The instrument should be recalibrated before use after long-term stor-
age.
CD Handling
Always hold the disc by the edges, so as not to make fingerprints on

the disc or scratch the printing.
Never touch the recorded side of the disc. Do not place the disc
directly on anything hard.
Do not wet the disc with volatile alcohol or water, as there is a possibil-
ity of the label printing disappearing.
To write on the disc label surface, use a spirit-based felt pen. Do not
use a ball-point pen or hard-tipped pen, because there is a danger of
scratching the surface and corrupting the data. Do not use adhesive
labels.
Do not expose the disc directly to the sun's rays, or keep it in condi-
tions of high temperature or humidity, as there is a danger of warping,
with consequent loss of data.
To remove dirt, dust, or fingerprints from the disc, wipe with a dry
cloth, or use a CD cleaner. Always wipe radially from the inside to the
outside, and do no wipe with circular movements. Never use abra-
sives or solvent cleaners.
Hioki shall not be held liable for any problems with a computer system

The battery pack is subject to self-discharge. Be sure to charge the battery before ini-
tial use. If the battery capacity remains very low after correct recharging, the useful
battery life is at an end.
To avoid problems with battery operation, remove the batteries from the instrument if
it is to be stored for a long time.
The instrument is designed to be able to charge the Model 9459 Battery Pack during
operation.
Although the CHARGE LED may light red when using the Model 9418-15 AC
Adapter, this does not affect measurement.

3.2 Connecting the AC Adapter
3.2 Connecting the AC Adapter

Connect the power cord and the instrument to the supplied Model 9418-
15 AC Adapter, then plug the power cord into an outlet. When used with
the battery pack installed, the battery serves as an operating backup
supply in case of power failure, and the AC adapter otherwise has prior-
ity.
Before Connecting
Use only the supplied Model 9418-15 AC Adapter(SINO-AMERI- 3

CAN) input voltage range is 100 to 240 VAC (with 10% stability)
at 50/60 Hz. To avoid electrical hazards and damage to the instru-
ment, do not apply voltage outside of this range.
Turn the instrument off before connecting the AC adapter to the
instrument and to AC power.
To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifica-
tions of this instrument, connect the power cord only to a 3-con-
tact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
If the AC adapter is used without the battery pack installed, be aware

that a power interruption lasting more than two cycles causes measure-
ment to be interrupted and the instrument to turn off.

cord to the inlet socket
on the AC adapter.
2 Connect the output plug of the AC

adapter to the instrument.
3 Plug the power cord into the mains outlet.
The output plug of the AC adapter should be oriented in one of the three directions shown
below while connected to the instrument. Otherwise, the plug may inadvertently disen-
gage.
42
3.3 Connecting the Voltage Cords
Grounded and Ungrounded Outlets

Using a Grounded Outlet
Plug the power cord

into the outlet

The color and number of voltage cords to use depends on the wiring
configuration of the system being measured.Connect the supplied
Model 9438-05 Voltage Cord Set to the voltage input terminals on the
instrument.
Before Connecting
Connect the voltage cords to the instrument first, and then to the
active lines to be measured.
Voltage cord should only be connected to the secondary side of
a breaker, so the breaker can prevent an accident if a short cir-
cuit occurs. Connections should never be made to the primary
side of a breaker, because unrestricted current flow could cause
a serious accident if a short circuit occurs.
Do not allow the voltage cord clips to touch two wires at the
same time. Never touch the edge of the metal clips.
For safety reasons, when taking measurements, only use the 9438-05
Voltage Cord set provided with the instrument. The supplied voltage
cords are colored black. Do not connect any leads that are not required
for a particular measurement.
43
Voltage Cord Connections
Insert the plugs into the terminals

as far as they will go.
Insert each voltage cord plug into

the terminal labeled with the corre-

3.4 Connecting Clamp Sensors

Connect the optional clamp sensors to the current input terminals on the
instrument. The clamp sensors that are compatible with this instrument
are voltage output types.
Compatible clamp sensors provide about 0.5 Vrms output corresponding
to full scale current. Refer to the instruction manual provided with the
clamp sensors.
Before Connecting
Connect the clamp sensors to the instrument first, and then to the
active lines to be measured.
Clamp sensors should only be connected to the secondary side
of a breaker, so the breaker can prevent an accident if a short cir-
cuit occurs. Connections should never be made to the primary
side of a breaker, because unrestricted current flow could cause
a serious accident if a short circuit occurs.
When the clamp sensor is opened, do not allow the metal part of
the clamp to touch any exposed metal, or to short between two
lines, and do not use over bare conductors.
To prevent damage to the instrument and sensor, never connect or

disconnect a connector while the power is on, or while the sensor is
clamped around a conductor.
When disconnecting the BNC connector, be sure to release the lock
before pulling off the connector. Forcibly pulling the connector without
releasing the lock, or pulling on the cable, can damage the connector.

4.4 Setting Event Detection [REC&EVENT]

With this instrument, an "event" is the detection of an anomaly (abnor-
mal phenomena) that may occur on power lines.
The detection criteria (Event Settings) are specified before recording
measurements.
When the specified criteria are satisfied while recording, the data is
recorded as an event, and can be analyzed on the EVENT screen.
Event settings are made on the SYSTEM-[REC&EVENT] screen.
Parameter that can be analyzed on the EVENT screen:

View event occurrences on the Event Monitor.

View sequence, date, time and event parameter.
View the voltage or current event waveform. 4
On the detailed fluctuation graph, view rms fluctuations when an
event occurs.

Events are recorded when recording starts and stops, regardless of
criteria settings.
The instrument can record data from up to 50 events (in the Event List
and Event Waveforms).
Depending on the type of event, two recordings may occur: once when
a threshold is exceeded [IN] and again upon return [OUT].

Setting Contents
Voltage Swell Set a percentage larger than the nominal line voltage (default 110%).
Voltage Dip Set a percentage smaller than the nominal line voltage (default 90%).
Interruption Set a percentage smaller than the nominal line voltage (default 10%).
In all cases, an event is recorded when the threshold is breached in either direction (once
upon onset, and once again upon recovery).
Upon event recovery ("event out "), the continuous period and worst-case voltage swell val-
ues are displayed.
Upon event onset ("event in "), an event voltage fluctuation graph is recorded.
What is Voltage Swell?

Voltage swell is a rise of rms voltage, where a threshold is set above the nominal voltage.
When the rms voltage rises above the threshold, it is detected as an "event in (onset)" voltage swell
event. Subsequently, when the voltage falls back below the threshold (minus appropriate hystere-
sis), it is detected as an "event out (recovery)" voltage swell event.
What is Voltage Dip?

Voltage dip is the opposite of voltage swell, that is a fall of rms voltage where a threshold is set
below the nominal voltage.
When the rms voltage falls below the threshold, it is detected as an "event in (onset)" voltage dip
event. Subsequently, when the voltage rises back above the threshold (plus appropriate hystere-
sis), it is detected as an "event out (recovery)" voltage dip event.
What is Interruption?
This is the power suspension state when voltage drops to a threshold below the nominal voltage
and further below the voltage dip threshold.
When the rms voltage falls below the threshold, it is detected as an "event in (onset)" voltage in-
terruption event. Subsequently, when the voltage rises back above the threshold (plus appropriate
hysteresis), it is detected as an "event out (recovery)" voltage interruption event.

5.2 Connecting to the Lines to be Measured

Connect the voltage cords and clamp sensors to the lines to be mea-
sured. To ensure proper connections for correct measurements, look at
the wiring configuration diagram ( p.83) while making connections.
When measuring three-phase lines, make connections to the lines to

be measured in the same sequence as the measurement channesl
(channels 1, 2 and 3).
Although this one instrument can measure various wiring configura-
tions from single-phase 2-wire to three-phase 4-wire, it cannot mea-
sure single-phase power in three different systems.

Common Operations and Screen Items (Common to TIME PLOT screens)
Screen Refresh
All graph plots begin from the left side, and extend to the right each time the
display refreshes. When a plot reaches the right side, it is horizontally com-
pressed by about half as it is continued.
Drawing Starts Graph Fills Screen Graph is Compressed Plotting Continues

Internal memory compression
When internal memory becomes filled with recorded memory data for
graphs, the internal memory is compressed and recording continues at a
longer interval.
For additional details about screen refresh, internal memory compression and
maximum recording times, refer to "Recordable TIME PLOT data period" (
p.156), "Appendix 1 Interval and Recording Time Settings" ( p.A1).

6.3 Viewing Anomalous Phenomena (EVENT

screen)
There are four EVENT screens, called [LIST], [WAVEFORM], [VOLTAGE]
and [INRUSH]. The displayed screen changes each time you press the
EVENT key.
The Event List appears on all screens.
During the [RECORDING] internal operating state, the EVENT screens are
refreshed every time an event occurs. During the [ANALYZE] internal oper-
ating state, event occurrence results are preserved.
Each screen is related to the others by the event occurrence. For exam-
ple, if you select the No. 24 voltage dip event on the event [DETAILS]
screen and then switch to the [DETAILS] screen, the voltage waveform of
the No. 24 voltage dip is displayed, and switching to the [RMS WAVE]
screen displays the event voltage fluctuation graph of the No. 3 voltage
dip.

Voltage and current waveforms at the time of event
detection can be displayed. However, the transient
overvoltage waveform itself (circled in the diagram)
cannot be displayed.
Note 2:
Transient overvoltage that occurs repeatedly will be
detected as IN/OUT events. A transient overvoltage
occurring even once during a 200 ms period will be
identified as an IN event. Subsequent occurrence
will be monitored every 200 ms and when it is no
longer detected, an OUT event will be identified.

Operations Common to the EVENT Screens

All EVENT screens display the same info in the top half, and the Event List.
The first event to occur is displayed as No. 1, with subsequent events dis-
played as No. 2, No. 3, up to No. 50. Each time an event occurs, the display
is refreshed to the latest event list.
Because the [DETAILS] screen can display only eight events, scroll the
Event List up and down to display other events as needed. Similarly, on the
[WAVEFORM], [RMS WAVE] and [INRUSH] screens, you can scroll the
Event List when more than eight events have occurred.
For Users of the Model 3196 Power Quality Analyzer
Note that the event number assignment method of the Model 3197 Power Quality
Analyzer is the opposite of Model 3196.
Multiple events occurring within the same 200-ms period are displayed
together as a single event.

9.1 Troubleshooting
Maintenace and
Service Chapter 9
9.1 Troubleshooting
Inspection and Repair
Never modify the instrument. Only Hioki service engineers should dis-
assemble or repair the instrument. Failure to observe these precautions
may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
If damage is suspected, check the "Before returning for repair" (

p.166)" section before contacting your dealer or Hioki representative.
Transporting
Use the original packing materials when transporting the instrument, if
possible.
Pack the instrument so that it will not sustain damage during shipping,
and include a description of existing damage. We cannot accept
responsibility for damage incurred during shipping.
Replaceable Parts
Certain parts require replacement periodically and at the end of their
useful life: (Useful life depends on the operating environment and fre-
quency of use. Operation cannot be guaranteed beyond the following
periods)
Part
Lithium Battery
Life
Approx. 10 years
9
Backlight Approx. 36,000 hours
(to half brightness)
Battery pack Approx. 1 year
Electrolytic Capacitors Deterioration occurs after about 10 years when used in se-
vere environments (temperatures around 40C).
The instrument contains a built-in backup lithium battery, which offers a ser-
vice life of about ten years. If the date and time deviate substantially when the
instrument is switched on, it is the time to replace that battery. Contact your
dealer or Hioki representative.
The fuse is housed in the power unit of the instrument. If the power does not
turn on, the fuse may be blown. If this occurs, a replacement or repair cannot
be performed by customers. Please contact your dealer or Hioki representa-
tive.
166
9.1 Troubleshooting
The instrument contains many electrolytic capacitors. The useful life of electro-
lytic capacitors varies greatly according to the operating environment, so they
may need to be replaced periodically.
Hioki intends to maintain a supply of spare parts for maintenance and service
for a period of five years after the end of production.
Before returning for repair
If abnormal operation occurs, check the following items.

9.2 Cleaning
9.2 Cleaning
Cleaning the Instrument

To clean the instrument and input modules, wipe it gently with a soft
cloth moistened with water or mild detergent. Never use solvents such
as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline, as
they can deform and discolor the case.
Wipe the LCD gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning Clamp Sensors

Measurements are degraded by dirt on the mating surfaces of the
clamp-on sensor, so keep the surfaces clean by gently wiping with a
soft cloth.

9.3 Battery Pack Replacement and Disposal
To avoid electric shock when replacing the battery, turn the

power switch off and disconnect all leads and cables from the
instrument.
To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not short circuit, disas-
semble or incinerate battery pack. Handle and dispose of batter-
ies in accordance with local regulations.
Expected battery pack life is about one year (or about 500 recharges).
Replace only with another Hioki Model 9459 Battery Pack.
The battery pack is subject to self-discharge. Be sure to charge the
battery pack before initial use. If the battery capacity remains very low
after correct recharging, the useful battery life is at an end.

Circuit Concept of Three-Phase, 3-Wire Lines
Three-phase power P is usually calculated as the sum of the power of

each phase.
P = u1I1 + u2I2 + u3I3 ......................................................................... (1)
However, because there is no central point in three-phase, 3-wire lines,

there is no way to measure the power of each phase independently, and
even if there was, three wattmeters would be required to measure simul-
taneously. The two-wattmeter method is therefore commonly used
(measuring two voltages and two currents).
Power can then be theoretically calculated by the following formulas:
When measuring U1, U2, I1 and I2 using wattmeters,
P = U1I1 + U2I3 (where U1 = u1 u2 and U2 = u3 u2) ............................. (1)

= (u1 u2)I1 + (u3 u2)I3
= u1I1 + u2(I3 I1) + u3I3 (where the closed-circuit condition is I1+I2+I3=0)
= u1I1 + u2I2 + u3I3 ......................................................................... (2)
Here, formulas (1) and (2) match, proving the 2-wattmeter method of
measuring three-phase, 3-wire power.
Also, there are no special requirements other than the closed circuit and
no leakage circuit, so 3-phase power can be measured regardless of
whether the phases are balanced.
The 3P3W2M wiring configuration mode of this instrument employs this
method.
A 11
Also, under these conditions, the sums of the voltage and current vec-
tors is always zero, so,
|U3| = |U1 U2|
|I2| = |I1 I3|
are calculated internally to obtain measurements of the voltage and cur-
rent of the third phase.
For U3 and I2, measurement is performed regardless of distortion. These

values affect the values of 3-phase apparent power and power factor
(when set so as to not use a reactive power measurement method).
With the 3P3W2M wiring configuration mode of this instrument, the T

phase current of the three-phase lines is applied to I2 in each circuit, so
the T phase current of the three-phase lines is displayed as current I2,
and the S phase calculated value of the three-phase lines is displayed
as I3.

Terminology
K Factor Also called the multiplication factor, the K factor expresses the power loss
caused by harmonic currents in a transformer.
The formula for calculating K factor (KF) is:
50
k2 Ik
2
k=2
KF = ----------------------------------
50
Ik
2
k=2
k: Order of harmonic
Ik: Percentage of harmonic current relative to the fundamental current [%]
Higher-order harmonic currents have a greater influence on the K factor than
do lower-order harmonic currents.
The K factor is measured while the transformer is subjected to the maximum
circuit load.
If the measured K factor is larger than the multiplication ratio of the transformer
being used, the transformer should be replaced with one having a higher K
factor, or the load on the transformer must be reduced.
When replacing a transformer, the replacement should have a K factor one
rank higher than the K factor measured with the transformer being replaced.
Harmonic Phase The harmonic voltage phase angle and harmonic current phase angle are
Angle and Har- based upon the phase of the fundamental component of the PLL source
monic Phase Dif- (referenced to the PLL input, which is selected from U1, U2 or U3 in this
ference instrument).
The phase difference between each harmonic component and the
fundamental component is expressed as a signed angle (), with negative (
sign) signifying lagging phase and positive (+) signifying leading (+) phase.
The harmonic voltage-current phase difference expresses the difference
between the phase of each harmonic order voltage component and the phase
of each harmonic order current component for each channel, as an angle ().
The sum is the total power factor of each harmonic order (calculated from the
total harmonic power and total harmonic reactive power) expressed as an
angle (). When the harmonic voltage-current phase difference is between -90
and +90, the power of that harmonic order is flowing toward the load (inflow).
When it is between +90 and +180 or between -90 and -180, the power of
that harmonic order is flowing away from the load (outflow).

Unbalance Balanced (Symmetrical) Three-Phase Voltage (Current)

Factor This term denotes three-phase alternating voltage or current when each
phase has the same voltage (or current) and a phase difference of 120
degrees between phases.
Unbalanced (Asymmetrical) Three-Phase Voltage (Current)
Denotes three-phase alternating voltage or current when the voltages (or
currents) of the phases are not the same, or when the phase difference
between the phases is not 120 degrees.
Although the following descriptions refer to voltage, they apply to current as well.
Degree of Unbalance in Three-Phase Alternating Voltage
Usually called the voltage unbalance factor, this is the ratio of negative-phase volt-
age to positive-phase voltage
Positive-Phase Voltage
Voltage Unbalance Factor = x 100 [%]
Negative-Phase Voltage
Zero-Phase, Positive-Phase and Negative-Phase Voltage

The concept of zero-, positive- and negative-phase components in a three-
phase alternating circuit applies the method of symmetrical coordinates (in
which a circuit is thought of as divided into symmetrical components of zero
phase, positive phase, and negative phase).
Zero-phase component: Voltage [V0] that is equal in each phase (the 0
subscript denotes a zero-phase-sequence component).
Positive-phase component: Symmetrical three-phase voltage [V1] in which
the value for each phase is equal, and each of the phases is delayed (lags)
by 120 degrees in the phase sequence abc (the 1 subscript denotes a
positive-phase-sequence component).
Negative-phase component: Symmetrical three-phase voltage [V2] in which
the value for each phase is equal, and each of the phases is delayed (lags)
by 120 degrees in the phase sequence acb (the 2 subscript denotes a
negative-phase-sequence component).
If Va, Vb, and Vc are the three-phase alternating voltages, the zero-, positive- and
negative-phase voltages are formulated as follows:
Va+Vb+Vc
Zero-phase voltage V0 =
3
Va+aVb+a2Vc
Positive-phase voltage V1 =
3
Va+a2Vb+aVc
Negative-phase voltage V2 =
3
Here, a denotes the vector operator, which is a vector with magnitude 1 and
phase angle of 120 degrees. Any given phase angle is advanced by 120 de-
grees when multiplied by a, and by 240 degrees when multiplied by a2.
When the three-phase alternating voltage is balanced, the zero- and negative-
phase voltages are 0, so only the positive-phase voltage (which in this case is
equal to the rms value of the three-phase alternating voltage) is displayed re-
mains. A
A 14
Displacement The power factor (PF) is the ratio of active power to apparent power. An inductive
Power Factor load delays the current behind the voltage, and a capacitive load advances the cur-
(DPF) rent ahead of the voltage.
PF 0 < PF < 1 Indicates reactive power is supplied but not consumed.

(Power Factor) PF = 1 All supplied power is consumed, and no reactive power is present.
PF = -1 In-phase power, voltage and current are generated.
-1 < PF < 0 Leading or lagging phase power and current are generated.
In general, power factor is calculated using all rms values, so harmonic contents
are included.
In addition to this power factor (PF), the displacement power factor (DPF) is the
ratio of active power to apparent power. However, the displacement power factor
(DPF) is defined as the cosine of the phase difference between the current and
voltage of the fundamental waveform, and so does not include the harmonic volt-
age or current components.
DPF 0 < DPF < 1 The current phase leads or lags the voltage phase, and the load cir-
(Displacement cuit consumes power.
Power Factor) DPF = 1 Current and voltage are in phase, and the load circuit consumes
power.
DPF = -1 The current and voltage have opposite phases, and the load circuit
generates power.
-1 < DPF < 0 The current phase leads or lags the voltage phase, and the load cir-
cuit generates power.
The displacement power factor is the same as the power factor employed in ordi-
nary residential watt-hour meters, and is also the same as that calculated using the
true reactive-power-measurement method employed by the Model 3197.
If the displacement power factor is low (current lags voltage), a phase-advancing
capacitor can be added to the power source side for correction.
In general, displacement power factor is used when measuring the power source
side, and power factor is used when measuring the equipment load side. In a typ-
ical neighborhood, the power factor shows a larger value than the displacement
power factor.
Demand Denotes the average power [kW] consumed during the demand period (typically
30 minutes), and is used for power company transactions.
