General tab
Basic settings
Configuration
Enable distortion power
Set this option to “True” if you want to activate the calculation of the distortion power.
Analog tab
Depending on the AC/DC setting and the configured grid inputs, the Analog tab contains different characteristic values.
AC/DC = DC
Only active power, peak value and active energy are calculated.
AC/DC = AC
The following values are calculated for each phase:
-
Active power & active energy
-
Reactive power & reactive energy (with and without sign)
-
Apparent power & apparent energy
-
Fundamental reactive power & fundamental reactive energy
-
Distortion power & distortion energy
-
Peak value
-
Power factor
-
cos Phi
In a star grid with N/PE and in a grid without N/PE, the above values are also calculated for the overall grid, with the exception of cos phi and peak value.
Name
The names are set by default but can be edited. For unambiguous identification, they
contain the input channel and the characteristic value. You can additionally assign
two comments when clicking the 
symbol in the Name field.
Unit
Display of the unit.
Active
Here you can enable or disable the signal.
Display in the phasor diagram
The power characteristic values can be visualized phase-wise or for the entire grid using a phasor diagram.
You can open the display of a pointer diagram by clicking on the button 
in the toolbar of ibaPDA.
Hold the mouse button down and drag the Power module from the signal tree on the left onto the display.
