By observing large differences between maximum ( ), average ( ) and
minimum ( ) recorded values within a single interval we can conclude that a
switching load is present. See figure below.
Figure 4-56: Observing power on switching load
On phase L3 we added a 3
rd
harmonic on current. As a consequence of current
harmonics, nonfundamental apparent power (S
N
) and phase current distortion power
(Di) is introduced as shown in the figure below.

Finish recording by entering the RECORDERS
GENERAL RECORDER menu, and
pressing the F1 (STOP) key. The stored record can be observed on the instrument or
transferred to PowerView. Import your recordings into Metrel PowerView software, as
described in section 4.1.3. All Power and energy related measurements can be
accessed using the
“Power & Energy option” in the “Data explorer” tab. Current, active
consumed power, reactive consumed power and Power Factor are shown below for
example. Note that there is a large difference between Average and Active average
(AvgOn) values in graphs, which clearly indicates that we are dealing with switch load.
