Overview of MPQ1000
The Megger MPQ1000 PQ Analyzer is a hand-held, eight-channel analyzer capable of
performing functions on four AC/DC voltages and four current inputs.
In addition to the Power Analyzer, your system includes the Power Quality Metrosoft®for
Windows, a user-friendly, menu driven software package that allows you to program the
unit within minutes. This is accomplished by creating a setup on a computer using Power
Quality Software and uploading it to the Megger MPQ1000 Power Quality Analyzer. Each
unit can store up to 90 user-defined setups. Should you need to change setups on site,
you may select any of your programmed setups using the Power Analyzer’s front panel
controls. Your programmed setup files may also be modified using the front panel of the
unit. The software package is also used to download recorded Power Analyzer data,
perform database searches, create reports and chart for analyzing the data and more.

Definitions
Class A A class of unit performance that complies with IEC standard 61000-4-30.
Clock Hour
Orientation
A setup feature in the PQ software that when selected will delay the start of
the recording until the real time clock in the PQ Device reaches a time interval
that is a multiple of the selected storage interval. This will keep each interval
from having fractional time stamps.
CT Full Scale The specified maximum RMS current range of the current clamp in use with
the PQ Analyzer
Data File An electronic file that contains the aggregated measurements of the PQ
Analyzer.
Default
Frequency
The user selectable frequency in the setup file that the PQ Analyzer defaults
to if the phase lock loop is lost.
EFT Extremely Fast Transient - Transients that have rise and fall times in the
nanosecond region.
Flicker An impression of unsteadiness of the visual sensation, induced by a light
stimulus with a luminance fluctuates over time.
Remote Time
Sync
When operated remotely the time can be automatically synced to the network
time at user selected intervals.
Harmonics A sinusoidal component of a periodic wave or quantity having a frequency
that is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.
Hysteresis A user selectable value that sets a buffer between the trigger level that starts
a sag or swell event and the trigger level that ends the event. This value is
displayed as a percentage of the user programmed limit.
Imbalance The ratio of the negative sequence component of a voltage or current to the
positive sequence component of that voltage or current, typically expressed
as a percentage.
Inter-Harmonics A harmonic component of a periodic quantity that is not an integer
multiple of the fundamental frequency that the supply system is operating.
IP54 Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient
quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete
protection against contact. Water splashing against the enclosure from any
direction shall have no harmful effect.
Phase Angle The delay between the zero crossing of the fundamental voltage signal and
the fundamental current signal represented in degrees.
Phase Lock Loop A measurement control system that ensures the same number of samples are
used to analyze a given cycle regardless of the cycles period, within the
specifications of the unit.
Post-Triggers A user selectable value in the setup file that defines the number of cycles the
unit will record after a cycle has occurred that has exceeded the user
programmed event limits.

Power Factor The ratio of the total power input, in watts, to the total volt-ampere input to the
converter.
Pre-Triggers A user selectable value in the setup file that defines the number of cycles the
unit will record before a cycle has occurred that has exceeded the user
programmed event limits.
Rapid Voltage
Change
A variation of the rms or peak value of a voltage between two consecutive
levels that is sustained for a given durations.
Ratio A user selectable value in the setup file that defines a value that shall be used
to multiply the recorded voltage and / or current values. This feature is used
when recording secondary values of a PT or a CT and the operator wishes to
record and view the primary value.
Response

A user selectable value in the setup file that allows the user to define the
aggregation length of each RMS calculation. Programmed in cycles.
RMS Current The Root Mean Square value of the current, derived from the summation of
the square root of the arithmetic mean (average) of the squares of the original
current samples.
RMS Voltage The Root Mean Square value of the voltage, derived from the summation of
the square root of the arithmetic mean (average) of the squares of the original
voltage samples.
Sag An instantaneous or momentary decrease in the steady state RMS value.
Sample The actual discrete instantaneous measurement the MPQ1000 performs 128
times per cycle.
Scheduled Run A recording mode in the setup file that will allow the user to select a date and
time that the MPQ1000 will start recording.
Setup File An electronic file that contains the measurement configuration that shall be
used by the PQ Analyzer during its recording.
Storage Interval A selection in the MPQ1000 setup file that allows the user to determine how
often the unit wakes up from sleep mode and takes measurements.
Sub-cycle A power quality event in which the duration is less than a cycle.
Swell An instantaneous or momentary increase in the steady state RMS value.
TDD Total Demand Distortion is a measurement of the current THD taking into
account the average current load on the circuit during the recording interval.
THD The ratio of the root-mean-square of the harmonic content to the root-mean-
square value of the fundamental quantity, expressed as a percent of the
fundamental.
Transient A sudden non-power frequency change in the steady state condition of
voltage or current.

between a VAR and a watt in an alternating-current electrical system is
determined by the power factor.
Volt Amps A measurement of apparent power.
Watts A unit of energy equivalent to one joule per second.
Waveform
Capture
A selection in the MPQ1000 setup file that allows the unit to record sample by
sample data of each waveform for both Current and Electric Field. A
waveform will be captured once every storage interval. Note: This feature
must be enabled in order to calculate THD and Harmonics.
