Core technical features and functional architecture

3.1 Product Function Panorama

As a powerful power monitoring instrument, IQ500's functional architecture can be divided into six core modules:

Monitoring function: comprehensively collect operating parameters of the power system, including three-phase phase voltage and average value, three-phase line voltage and average value, three-phase current and zero sequence current, three-phase active/reactive/apparent power, three-phase power factor and system power factor, system frequency and other key indicators.

Electricity metering: Implement multi-dimensional electricity metering, including total active/reactive/apparent electricity metering, active/reactive/apparent electricity metering for each phase, total active/reactive electricity metering in both forward and reverse directions, cumulative reactive electricity metering in four quadrants, and time-based multiple rate electricity metering. The device can record electrical measurements for 12 transfer cycles.

Power Quality Analysis: In depth analysis of power quality indicators, covering three-phase voltage/current imbalance, 2-31st harmonic component occupancy rate of voltage/current, total distortion rate of voltage/current harmonics, effective value of voltage/current fundamental wave, fundamental power and fundamental power factor, fundamental active/reactive power, etc.

Demand and Extreme Value Statistics: Real time statistics of three-phase current, total active/reactive/apparent power demand, recording the maximum demand for the current settlement cycle in a timely manner, and traceable to the maximum demand records for three transfer cycles. Simultaneously record the maximum/minimum values and occurrence time of each power parameter.
