1.1. Introduction
ETCR5000 Power Quality Analyzer is a comprehensive test instrument carefully developed by our company and
specially designed for field test of three phases, multi-functional and intelligent, concise man-machine operation.
It is easy to use, large LCD screen display, high resolution, interface in both Chinese and English, shock-proof shell
structure and so on. Can simultaneously measure the 4-channel current (ABC three phase and neutral wire cur-
rent), 4-channel voltage (ABC three-phase voltage and neutral line voltage to ground), the peak value of current
voltage, maximum/minimum value over a period, three-phase imbalance factor, short-time voltage flicker, trans-
former K factor, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor and displacement power factor, ac-
tive power, reactive power, apparent power, total harmonic distortion and harmonic, etc; Display real-time wave-
form, harmonic ratio bar charts of current voltage; Dynamically capture instantaneous change of voltage current,
monitoring starting current, monitoring the power parameters and generate the alarm list, generate the trend
chart for a long time record test data.

In the current power applications, more and more large power equipment, power grid fault have become more
and more complex, with development of the industry, it put forward high request more and more to quality that

and the processing of algorithm, the ARM is use for the communication protocol and the man-machine interface
processing; Analog signal acquisition is by 2 pieces AD7655 of ADI company. Resolution for AD7655 is 16 bit and
it is 4 channel synchronous sampling. The highest sampling rate can reach 1 MSPS, to ensure the accuracy of the
channel and the information integrity, and wouldn’t miss any transient changes in the grid, can more accurate to
detect the transient waveform rising and dropping drastically, and waveform instantaneous interrupt; DSP work-
ing frequency is over 200 MHZ, to be able to timely monitoring of the power grid and dynamically adjust the
sampling frequency to realize synchronization of power frequency and sampling frequency; Using a 5.6 -inch LCD
color screen display, a resolution of 640 dots x 480 dots, with different display color difference between the pa-
rameters of phase, waveform, vector diagram, harmonic ratio, the user can be more efficient and more intuitive
understand the state of power grid parameters. Built-in flash memory can store 60 group of screenshots at the
same time, 150 groups of capture transient voltage/current waveform figure, and 12800 groups of alarm list.

Remark: Values of the cursor is dashes “----”indicate errors or missing values in the record.

The display period of this curve 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 activated, each point of the curve represents the mean of

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 analysing 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 res-
olution better than 0.002%.

The signals are acquired using a 16-bit converter and (for current acquisition) dynamic gain switches.

17.1.9. Harmonic calculations (excluding neutral)

These calculations are carried out by FFT (16 bits), 1024 points over four cycles, with a rectangular window (see
IEC 1000-4-7). From the real parts bk and the imaginary parts ak , the harmonic factor is calculated for each order
and for each phase (Vharm[3][51], Uharm[3][51], and Aharm[3][51]) with respect to the fundamental and the
angles Vph[3][51], Uph[3][51], and Aph[3][51] with respect to the fundamental.

This calculation is carried out according to the following principle:

17.1.10. Harmonic distortions (excluding neutral)

Two global values giving the relative quantity of harmonics are calculated: the THD as a proportion of the funda-
mental (“THD-F”) and the DF as a proportion of the RMS value (“THD-R”).

Voltage harmonic distortion multiplied by current harmonic distortion equals apparent power harmonic ratio
(VAharm[3][51]), voltage harmonic angle minus current harmonic angle equals power harmonic angle (VAph[3]
[51])

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 Uref voltage threshold.

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 com-
pared 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 represen-
tation of the transient is then captured by the device. The cycle preceding the event and the three following cy-
cles are saved to memory.

99
 Figure 17-4: a graphic representation of the transient capture triggering mechanism

17.5. Capture conditions in inrush current 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 Triggering and stop conditions

channel
Triggering condition ⇔ [A1 half-cycle RMS value] > [Triggering threshold]
A1
Stop condition ⇔ [A1 half-cycle RMS value] < [Stop threshold]
Triggering condition ⇔ [A2 half-cycle RMS value] > [Triggering threshold]
A2
Stop condition ⇔ [A2 half-cycle RMS value] < [Stop threshold]
Triggering condition ⇔ [A3 half-cycle RMS value] > [Triggering threshold]
A3
Stop condition ⇔ [A3 half-cycle RMS value] < [Stop threshold]
Triggering condition ⇔ [[the half-cycle RMS value of one current channel]> [Triggering threshold]
3A
Stop condition ⇔ [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 sup-
plied.

★ For safety reasons and to ensure the correct operation of the charger, the storage battery must be replaced
with the power off.
★ Do not throw the battery into a fire.
★ Do not expose the battery to a temperature in excess of 75°C.
★ Do not short-circuit the terminals of the battery.
★ When the battery fully recharged, please remove the power adapter(if do not use external power supply).

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:

★ To eliminate all risk of electric shock, disconnect the power supply cord and connected devices.
★ Turn the device over.
★ Use a cross screwdriver to unscrew the two quarter-turn screws on the back of the housing. Then open the
battery cover.
★ Gently remove the old battery, replace a new original battery (To avoid damage the battery connection, do not
pull on the wires).
★ Put the battery compartment cover back in place and screw the 2 quarter-turn screws back in.
★ Reboot 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).
