Interface (HMI) including a Graphical User Interface. commands on a keypad.
Direct control, programming, and monitoring are
possible without using a PC or the Internet. Display
A graphical display is used for different functions:
• access and set up of operating parameters
• measurement data
• operation status (warnings, fault messages)
Menus are accessible for easy navigation.

Configuration parameters
List of selectable parameters:
• three or four-wire configuration
• harmonics or reactive energy compensation (separately or in combination)
• current transformer ratio
• power factor target
• number of units in parallel
• communication parameters

Measurements
A complete set of measurement data is accessible:
• line-to-line rms voltages
• total rms load currents (on three phases)
• active filter output rms currents (on three phases)
• harmonic rms load and line currents
• voltage and current distortions (THDu and THDi)
• reactive rms load current
• active filter reactive rms output current
• heatsink temperature (in deg. C)

Alarms and status display

Detailed alarms and status messages are displayed for easy troubleshooting:
• supply voltage or frequency outside of normal operating range
• current limitation
• overtemperature
• controller status
• communication status
