Power Calculation Modes
The power calculation mode option allows you to change the
method for calculating reactive and apparent powers in
presence of high harmonics. The options work as follows:
1. When the reactive power calculation mode is selected,
active and reactive powers are directly measured and
apparent power is calculated as:
2 2 Q P S + =
2. This mode is recommended for electrical networks with
low harmonic distortion, commonly with THD < 5% for
