4.5.3 Capacitive, switching and nonlinear load
In this step we will introduce capacitive load on phase L1, switching load on phase L2
and nonlinear (harmonic) load on phase L3. First, set switches S1 ÷ S11 on Application
Trainer
as shown in table below. This will introduce 15º phase lag on phase L1,
switching current on phase L2 and harmonics on phase L3.

Capacitive load can be seen on phase L1 (negative values for N and Q, and suffix “c”
on Power Factor) as shown in the figure below.

On phase L2 a switching load is present, which turns on and off every 10 seconds.

Current profile is shown in the graph above. Note that recording interval (1min) is
longer than load switching frequency (10sec). What we see on the instrument is:
- METER screen: Real time power measurement (refreshed few times per
second). Values are changed every 10 seconds, as load is turned on and off.
- TREND screen: power averaged over a 1 minute time interval.
