Unlocking the Power of High-Speed Transient and Waveform Capture for Accurate Power Quality Analysis
This white paper compares transient capture and waveform capture in power quality recorders, highlighting their distinct roles in monitoring electrical events. Transient capture, with microsecond-level resolution, excels at detecting fast, high-voltage impulses, while waveform capture provides broader context for slower, more common disturbances. The paper outlines best practices for deploying each method and demonstrates how combining both approaches yields a comprehensive understanding of power system anomalies.
Key topics include:
- Transient Capture Basics
- Waveform Capture Basics
- Using Waveform Capture vs. Transient Capture
- Recommendations
Why utilities should care:
Accurate event detection and characterization enable faster root cause analysis, improved equipment protection, and optimized placement of monitoring devices. Leveraging both transient and waveform capture ensures comprehensive insight into power quality issues and system reliability.
