Supply Voltage Dips
The voltage dip is based on half-cycle RMS measurements. The duration of the dip 
corresponds to the period during which the RMS value remains less than 90% of 
the nominal voltage. The depth of the dip is defined as the difference (expressed in 
% of nominal voltage) between the minimum RMS voltage over the course of the 
dip and the nominal voltage.
The observation period is 1 week. No evaluation criteria are suggested by either 
the EN 501060 standard or the UNIPEDE Measurement Guide for Voltage 
Characteristics
; you should apply your own criteria to the data captured by the 
meter. The table below defines the classification scheme for counters Nij:
EN 50160 data (current observation period): The meter maintains the counters 
listed in the table above for each phase. These counters are reset on a weekly basis.
EN 50160 data (previous observation period): The meter stores the counter values 
listed in the table above for each phase on a weekly basis before these counters are 
reset. These registers are also stored in a data recorder on a weekly basis.
Events: The meter creates a message in the Event log every time one of the counters 
increases.
Parameter data: The meter can be enabled to record the minimum RMS voltage for 
each phase during a dip, the duration of the dip and the timestamp for when the 
dip occurred.
Voltage Dips Default Measurements
Values from the current observation period (in the first four columns) are found in 
Bin modules. They are also logged weekly by Data Recorder modules 19 – 23. 
Values from previous observation (PO) period are found in Store modules.
