What is a NMD?
■ A network power quality monitoring device for voltage
■ Monitoring parameters
– Voltage sags
■ Momentary (0.3 – 5 sec)
■ Temporary ( 3 sec – 1 min)
■ Prolong ( over 1 min)
– Voltage swells
■ Momentary (0.3 – 5 sec)
■ Temporary ( 3 sec – 1 min)
■ Prolong ( over 1 min)
– Power interruptions
■ Momentary (0.3 – 5 sec)
■ Temporary ( 3 sec – 1 min)
■ Prolong ( over 1 min)
