Measurement Standards (Electrical Power Toolkit)

Power quality measurement standards define measurement methods of power quality parameters. The power quality measurement standards that the LabVIEW Electrical Power Toolkit complies with are IEC power quality standards. IEC power quality standards are also called electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, which means these standards are more concerned about the compatibility between equipment of end users and equipment of utilities.

The Electrical Power Toolkit complies with the following IEC power quality standards:

• IEC 61000-4-7:2009, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-7: Testing and Measurement Techniques - General Guide on Harmonics and Interharmonics Measurements and Instrumentation, for Power Supply Systems and Equipment Connected Thereto
• IEC 61000-4-15:2010, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-15: Testing and Measurement Techniques - Flickermeter - Functional and Design Specifications
• IEC 61000-4-30:2008, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-30: Testing and Measurement Techniques - Power Quality Measurement Methods

The following table lists measurement methods and aggregation methods in IEC 61000-4-30:2008, with which the Electrical Power Toolkit complies.

IEC 61000-4-30:2008 is a performance specification instead of a design specification. Refer to the standard for detailed information.
