Power-quality measurement log calculator technical guide

Summarise entered voltage, current or harmonic measurement rows for Australian power-quality records.

Use this calculator when a short power-quality log needs a transparent summary before the record is reviewed. It turns entered rows into minimum, maximum, average and count above an entered threshold while keeping row labels and units visible.

This is not a replacement for a power-quality study. It is a record worksheet that can point to the next calculator or table when a row needs deeper treatment.

Measurement Log Inputs

Log summary fields
FieldWhy it mattersReview note
Log referenceNames the site, analyser, feeder or record.Keeps the summary tied to a source record.
Measurement rowsCarries timestamp, label, value and unit.Use comparable rows before interpreting averages.
Review thresholdProvides the comparison value.Must be entered by the user.
Threshold basisExplains the comparison source.Prevents a hidden-limit impression.

The calculator does not infer instrument settings, event class, voltage quality category or network response. Those remain part of the source record and review process.

Result Interpretation

Measurement log outputs
OutputMeaningPractical reading
Maximum valueLargest entered row value.Main result for quick record review.
Minimum valueSmallest entered row value.Shows the low point in the row set.
Average valueArithmetic average of entered values.Useful only when rows are comparable.
Rows above thresholdCount of rows over the entered threshold.Points to rows needing closer review.

If rows have mixed quantities or units, use the min, max and average cautiously. The row labels remain visible so the summary does not imply a single physical quantity when the log is mixed.

Stop Points

  • Rows with different units are being treated as one engineering quantity.
  • The threshold has no stated project, equipment, report or engineering basis.
  • The source instrument, measurement window or row labels are missing.
  • A row needs a dedicated formula calculator rather than a basic summary.
  • The summary is being used as event classification without wider power-quality review.

Mixed PQ snapshot

A short log carries voltage, current and THD rows from one analyser note.

Maximum value233.2

Largest entered row value in the measurement log.

The maximum row is above the entered threshold, so the mixed units and threshold source should be checked before interpreting the summary.

  • Rows are user-entered values.
  • The threshold is a record value.
  • Mixed units require careful interpretation.

Voltage-only below threshold

Three voltage readings are summarised against a high review value.

  2. Maximum231.1

Maximum value231.1

Largest entered row value in the measurement log.

The maximum value stays below the entered threshold while still remaining a measurement-log summary.

  • Rows use matching units.
  • The review value is user-entered.
  • Instrument context remains external.

Largest entered row value in the measurement log.

One current row is above the entered threshold and should be carried forward with the measurement context.

  • Rows belong to one feeder record.
  • Current values are RMS values.
  • The summary does not replace load analysis.

Questions

Can the rows use mixed units?

The form allows the record to show units, but min, max and average should only be interpreted together when the values are comparable.

Does this classify power-quality events?

No. It only summarises entered rows. Event classification needs instrument and project review.

Where should the threshold come from?

Use a project, report, equipment, engineering or review basis and keep that source visible.

When should I use another calculator?

Use voltage sag, harmonic THD or harmonic current TDD when a row needs a dedicated formula record.
