Overview of MPQ2000
The Megger MPQ2000 PQ Analyzer is a portable, nine-channel analyzer capable
of performing functions on four AC/DC voltages and five current inputs.
In addition to the Power Analyzer, your system includes the Megger PQ
Software 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 MPQ2000 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. 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.
GPS Time A time synchronization procedure applied periodically during a
recording using a GPS receiver.
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 A measurement of environmental protections that states the
ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it will not enter in
sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the
equipment and dripping water (vertically falling drops) 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.

M

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
Interval 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 MPQ2000
performs 256 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 MPQ2000 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 MPQ2000 setup file that allows the user to
determine how often the unit saves the aggregated data.
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.
Vars A unit which is the imaginary counterpart of the watt. The
relationship 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 MPQ2000 setup file that allows the unit to
