1. OVERVIEW
1.1. Introduction
UT285C Power Quality Analyzer is a three-phase, multifunctional and intelligent Analyzer specially designed
for on-site tests. It is characterized by large LCD, high resolution, interface in both English and Chines, shock
proof, etc. UT285C can simultaneously measure the followings: 4-channel current (ABC three-phase and
neutral wire current), 4-channel voltage (ABC three-phase voltage and neutral line voltage to ground), peak
value of current and voltage, maximum/minimum value over a period, three-phase imbalance factor, short-time
voltage flicker, transformer K factor, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, displacement
power factor, active electrical energy, reactive electrical energy, apparent electrical energy, harmonic ratio,
total harmonic distortion, etc. This Analyzer is able to display real-time waveform, phasor diagram, harmonics
ratio bar chart of current and voltage. UT285C has multiple functions including capturing the instantaneous
change of voltage and current dynamically, monitoring starting current and power parameters, recording test
data for a long time, generating alarm list and trend chart, and more.
For electrical applications nowadays, more and more complex faults occur at large-scale electrical equipment
and power girds, thus it is difficult to troubleshoot such complex problems. As the requirements for the power
quality of grid become increasingly strict in various industries, we design a power quality Analyzer that can
troubleshoot electrical system rapidly and accurately, and that is capable of monitoring and analyzing the
parameters of power quality comprehensively and systematically.

UT285C Power Quality Analyzer adopts the DSP + ARM (dual processors) architecture. The DSP is used for
data collection and algorithmic processing; while the ARM is used for communication protocol and processing
of man-machine interface. Simultaneous 4-channel analog signal acquisition is achieved by 2 pieces of
AD7655 (resolution: 16 bits) of the ADI company. The highest sampling rate that the Analyzer can reach is 1
MSPS, which ensures the accuracy of the channel and the information integrity, and ensures that any transient
changes are not missing in the power grid, and makes the detection of transient waveform, surge and
undervoltage, instantaneous interruption more. The DSP working frequency is over 200 MHZ, which enables
the Analyzer to monitor the power grid in time, and to dynamically adjust the sampling rate to be synchronous
with the industrial frequency. The Analyzer is designed with a 5.6-inch color screen with resolution of 640 dots
x 480 dots, and displays the parameter, waveform, phasor diagram, and harmonic ratio for each phase by
using different colors, so that the state of parameters of power grid can be understood visibly and efficiently.
The built-in flash memory can store 60 groups of screenshots at the same time, 150 groups of captured
transient voltage/current waveforms, and 12800 groups of alarm lists. In the starting current detection model,
the Analyzer can continuously capture starting current waveform for 100 s. The built-in 2G memory is used to
store the trend curve records, and has the ability to simultaneously record 20 parameters (adjustable), with
recording performed once per minute and trend curve records stored for 300 days.

Power Quality Analyzer is also called Intelligent Three Phase Power Quality Analyzer, Multifunctional Power
Quality Analyzer, and so on. It has functions of harmonic Analyzer, phase volt-ampere meter, electric
parameter tester, and is applicable to electricity industry, petrochemical, metallurgy, railway, mining enterprises,
scientific research institution, and metrological department. It is particularly suitable for comprehensive
analysis and diagnosis on all the voltage, current, power, power, harmonic, and phase electric parameters.

groups of transient waveforms at the same time.

䕺Startin g cu rren t m on ito rin g

The Analyzer can monitor the surge current of the circuit and the starting current of the electrical equipment
when it is started, which facilitates the design of the installed capacity correctly. It can display the rise/fall curve
of the RMS during the starting process, the envelope curve of the starting current, the waveform of 4-channel
current and 4-channel voltage. After triggering, it can record for about 100s, and store all the instantaneous
values and waveform curve of the current & voltage in each period within 100s.

Remark: The cursor position “----” indicates errors or missing values in the record.
When the curve display period is 20 seconds. Since the period of the record is one second, each point of this
curve corresponds to a value recorded in a one-second window once 20 seconds. There is therefore a
substantial loss of information (19 values out of 20), but the display is rapid.
With the increase of the display period, the loss values will be more. This case the user can select to activate
the MIN-AVG-MAX mode. After the MIN-AVG-MAX mode is activated, each point of the curve represents the
mean of the total sampling points every period (such as the display period is 20 seconds, sampling period is 1

17. APPENDICES
17.1. Mathematic Formulae
17.1.1. Network frequency and sampling
Sampling is controlled by (locked to) the network frequency so as to deliver 256 samples per cycle from 40 Hz
to 70 Hz. This locking is essential for the calculations of reactive power, unbalance, and harmonic ratio and
angles.
The frequency is measured by analyzing ten consecutive positive-going zero crossings in the first voltage
channel (V1) or first current channel (I1) after digital low-pass filtering and digital suppression of the DC
component.
The time of the zero crossing is determined precisely by linear interpolation between two samples to achieve
resolution better than 0.002%.
The signals are acquired using a 16-bit converter and (for current acquisition) dynamic gain switches.

17.2. Hysteresis
Hysteresis is a screening principle that is often used after detection of a threshold stage in Alarm mode (See §
5.10) and in Inrush current mode (see § 6.3). A correct hysteresis setting avoids repeated changes of state
when the measurement oscillates about the threshold.

17.2.1. Surge detection

With a hysteresis of 2%, for example, the return level for surge detection is equal to (100% - 2%) or 98% of the
reference voltage threshold.

Figure 17-1: An example of return level for surge detection

17.2.2. Undervoltage or blackout detection

With a hysteresis of 2%, for example, the return level for undervoltage detection is equal to (100% + 2%) or
102% of the reference voltage threshold.

Figure 17-2: an example of return level for undervoltage detection

17.3. Four-quadrant Diagram

This diagram is used for power and energy measurements .

17.4. Mechanism For Triggering Transient Captures
The sampling rate is a constant 256 samples per cycle. When a transient capture is started, each sample is
compared to the sample from the preceding cycle. The preceding cycle defines the mid-point of the trigger
envelope and is used as reference. As soon as a sample is outside the envelope, the triggering event occurs;
the representation of the transient is then captured by the device. The cycle preceding the event and the three
following cycles are saved to memory.

Figure 17-4: A graphic representation of the transient capture triggering mechanism

17.5. Capture Conditions In Inrush Current Mode

Reminder: The capture depends on a triggering (start) event and a stop event. If a capture ends with a stop
event or if the recording memory of the device is full, the capture stops automatically.
The capture stop threshold is calculated as follows:
[Stop threshold [A]] = [Start threshold [A]] × (100 – [stop hysteresis [%]]) ÷ 100
Here are the conditions for triggering and stopping captures:
Triggering channel Triggering and stop conditions
Triggering condition 䋽 [A1 half-cycle RMS value] > [Triggering threshold]
A1
Stop condition 䋽 [A1 half-cycle RMS value] < [Stop threshold]
Triggering condition 䋽 [A2 half-cycle RMS value] > [Triggering threshold]
A2
Stop condition 䋽 [A2 half-cycle RMS value] < [Stop threshold]
Triggering condition 䋽 [A3 half-cycle RMS value] > [Triggering threshold]
A3
Stop condition 䋽 [A3 half-cycle RMS value] < [Stop threshold]
Triggering condition 䋽 [[the half-cycle RMS value of one current channel]> [Triggering threshold]
3A
Stop condition 䋽 [the half-cycle RMS values of all current channels] < [Stop threshold]

18. MAINTENANCE
18.1. Important Recommendation
For maintenance, use only the spare parts specified. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any accident
that occurs following a repair not performed by its customer service department or by an approved repairer.

18.2. Recharging The Battery

The battery charge is managed by the device when connected to the AC network via the mains power unit
supplied.
䖩 For safety reasons and to ensure the correct operation of the charger, the storage battery must be replaced
with the power off.
䖩 Do not throw the battery into a fire.
䖩 Do not expose the battery to a temperature in excess of 75°C.
䖩 Do not short-circuit the terminals of the battery.
䖩 W hen the battery is fully recharged, please remove the power adapter (if external power supply is not used).

18.3. Replacing The Battery

For safety reasons, advice that replace the battery only with the original model
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:
䖩 To eliminate all risk of electric shock, disconnect the power supply cord and connected devices.
䖩 Turn the device over.
䖩 Use a cross screwdriver to unscrew the two quarter-turn screws on the back of the housing. Then open the
battery cover.
䖩 Gently rem ove the old battery, replace a new original battery (To avoid damaging the battery connection, do
60
not pull on the wires).
䖩 Put the battery compartm ent cover back in place and screw the 2 quarter-turn screws back in.
䖩 R eboot the device to confirm .
Note: If the battery is disconnected, it must then be fully recharged, even if it is not replaced, so that the device
will know the battery charge condition (this information is lost when the battery is disconnected).
