Sag and Swell

The Powermonitor 3000 M6 and M8 models are capable of detecting
voltage sags and swells. There are many definitions for sag and swell.

IEEE 1159

1

defines sag as:

a decrease to between 0.1…0.9 pu in rms voltage or current at
the power frequency for durations of 0.5 cycle to 1 minute.

IEEE 1159

1

defines swell as:

an increase in rms voltage or current at the power frequency for
durations from 0.5 cycles to 1 minute. Typical values are
1.1…1.8 pu.

Sag and Swell

The pre-defined setpoint configuration for the detection of sag and
swell is based on the IEEE-1159 standard. Although the default
setpoint configuration is applicable as-is for many sag and swell
applications, it may be necessary to alter the setpoint configuration to
adjust the unit’s sensitivity to sags and swells for your particular
application.
