Harmonic Analysis: Non linear loads such
as variable speed drives, computers and
electronic ballasts can cause harmonics
which may lead to problems such as
nuisance breaker tripping, telephone
interference, transformer, capacitor or
motor overheating. Harmonic analysis
can be used for fault diagnosis such as
detecting undersized neutral wiring, need
for a harmonic rated transformer, or
effectiveness of harmonic filters. Details
of the harmonic spectrum are useful and
available with the power analysis option.
Voltage Disturbance Recorder (VDR)
The Voltage Disturbance Recorder (VDR)
function adds to the PQM II the ability
to monitor and record Sag and Swell
disturbances. It can record up to
500 sag/swell events for all voltages
simultaneously.

EnerVista Launchpad PQM II Setup and Analysis
PQM II setup program contains many tools and reports that simplify device configuration and allows viewing of power system events.
Simplified IED Setup
Voltage and current waveforms provide valuable insights into system problems
584
Waveform Capture: Voltage and current
waveforms can be captured and displayed
on a PC using the EnerVistaTM program
supplied with the PQM II or using third
party software. Distorted peaks or notches
from SCR switching provide clues for taking
corrective action.
Event Recorder: Alarms, setpoint triggers,
input and output events can be stored
in a 150 event record and time and date
stamped by the internal clock. This is
useful for diagnosing problems and
system activity. Minimum and maximum
values are also continuously updated and
time stamped.
Trace Memory: The PQM II can be
configured to record a maximum of 36
cycles of data on all voltage and current
inputs based on overvoltage, undervoltage,
overcurrent or switch input state change.

EnerVistaTM Software
EnerVistaTM Launchpad
EnerVistaTM Launchpad is a powerful
software package that provides users with
all of the setup and support tools needed
for configuring and maintaining GE Multilin
Products. Launchpad allows configuration
of devices in real-time by communicating
using RS232, RS485, Ethernet, or modem
connections.
The intuitive user interface makes it simple
to enter setpoints, read metered values,
monitor status and evaluate power quality.
Powerful troubleshooting features make it
easy to retrieve and view voltage & current
waveshapes and harmonic analysis.
This vital information can help provide
early warning of problems and prevent
equipment damage or nuisance breaker
tripping.
