Power Quality Waveform Library

The PQSoft Power Quality Waveform Library is a collection of representative power quality-related waveforms. This library includes a number of common signature waveforms for various power system faults and power quality events. The waveforms in the library are available for download in the IEEE PQDIF (IEEE Std. 1159.3) format. PQDIF files may be viewed using the free TOP, The Output Processor^® program. The waveforms are grouped by the categories provided in IEEE Std. 1159. Current topic areas include:

Arcing Faults
Capacitor Switching Transients
Current-Limiting Fuse Operation
Ferroresonance
Harmonics (Waveform Distortion)
Long Duration Variations
Momentary Interruptions
Motor Terminal Transients
Power Frequency Variations
Transformer Energizing
Voltage Flicker
Voltage Notching
Voltage Sags
Voltage Swells
Voltage Unbalance

Several representative examples include:

Availability

The library is located in the PQSoft Forum on the subscribers area of the PQSoft website. Access is available by purchasing the Annual Web-Based Technical Resource Area. For more information, send e-mail to pqsoft@electrotek.com or call 865-470-9222.
