Power quality measurement with the electricity meter LZQJ-XC

Evaluation complies with the standard EN 50160

Source: measured values in P.02 with MP 10min /LP10/
Model LZQJ XC meets the requirements for Q-meters
of the Class B, the newest model NXT 4 meets the
requirements of the Class S

Evaluations in the electricity meter LZQJ-XC :

Checks of non-exceeding of limit values
Extended records in the electricity meter:
Profile P.130 , LP 1440 – register C.88
- exceeding of limits for P.02 : U, THD, Pst, f
Visualisation on PC
Evaluation of measured values by EMH software –
focused on non-exceeding of limit values
Measured quantities in the profiles P.01 and P.02 -
basis for the grid quality measurement: exact values
Measured values in P.01 with the measuring period 15 min. /LP15/ :
P, Q, S, D up to 32 channels
Measured values in P.02 with the measuring period 10 min. /LP10/ :
P, Q
Uavg (L1, L2, L3)
Umax (L1, L2, L3)
Umin (L1, L2, L3)
Iavg (L1, L2, L3)
Imax (L1, L2, L3)
Total Harmonic Distortion THD U (L1, L2, L3)
THD I (L1, L2, L3): It exceeds even the requirements of EN 50 160 !
Flicker (L1, L2, L3)
Frequency
Other channels: - Register for checks of installation C.86.0
/up to 60/ - Register for checks of voltage C.86.1
- Channels for the registration of individual harmonics in the grid
Configuration for grid quality monitoring
Register checks of voltage C.86.1
Optional setting of parameters for quality monitoring:
2 independent bands for U, f and limits of THD U, Pst
Register C.86.1
Power quality measurement with the electricity meter LZQJ-XC

Register C.86.1() = register for voltage monitoring (EN 50160)

Monitoring of two frequency bands (10 s average values)

Monitoring of two voltage bands (10 min average values P.02)
THD U (10 min average values P.02)
Short-term flicker Pst (10 min average values P.02)
Record of exceeded limit value in P.211, with time stamp
Register C.88.xx = Register of events – total of exceeding cases /
decrease of monitored U, THD, f, Pavg - for a long-term monitoring
C.88.96() registers completely checked 10-second average values
C.88.97() registers completely checked 10-minute average values

Evaluation of quality measurement data

Evaluation of long-term Register C.88.XX – Number of over- / under-

monitoring of U, f, Pst and THD passing of defined limit values
from P.02
- % of measured values which did not exceed
a set limit

Principles of harmonic analysis

Harmonic voltages
95% of 10-min average effective values of voltage of each
harmonics must not exceed specified values in any weekly
period – the standard stipulates after 25th , in LZQJ XC until 31st
Total harmonic distortion THD must not be greater than 8%

Example of representation of harmonics with evaluation of limit

values:

LZQJ XC evaluates even harmonics in current

History of phase voltages – Record in LZQJ – XC
Fast voltage fluctuations

Raster in ms , Window -0.3 to +1 sec from the event

Optional analysis of short-term dumps on the level of ms
Measurement of actual values in LZQJ-XC
Measured values in the service table of TS – period of
measurement 1 s:
P per phases and the sum
Q per phases and the sum
S per phases and the sum
P/S (PF) per phases and the sum
I (L1, L2, L3)
U (L1, L2, L3)
f - Frequency

In combination with “Loger XC” it is possible

to read and store actual values in a 6-sec raster on SD card
Accurate measuring system – essential element of
the electricity meter LZQJ-XC

Due to an accurate compensated current converter at the input

and due to a strong measurement processor:
LZQJ-XC works in the Accuracy class 0.2S

U
8 kV
6 kV

LZQJ-XC is protected by robust

input circuits - it is suitable for FVE
