Figure 3.1 Explanation of Power Factor Values
Energy Results
The Powermonitor 3000 calculates energy values including kWh
forward, reverse and net; kVAh; kVARh forward, reverse and net; and
kAh. You may read these values using the Display Module or via
communications.
Phase 1 Distortion Power Factor The ratio between the magnitude of the
fundamental and the sum of the magnitudes for
all of the current harmonics for an individual
phase or all three phases.
0 to 100 Percent
Phase 2 Distortion Power Factor
Phase 3 Distortion Power Factor
Total Distortion Power Factor
Phase 1 Displacement Power Factor The cosine of the phase angle between the
fundamental voltage and current for an
individual phase or all three phases; signed to
show lead (+) or lag (-).
