Description of the Quality Analyser
MC774 Quality Analyser is a comprehensive device intended for permanent monitoring of power quality from
its production (especially renewable), transmission, distribution to final consumers, who are most affected by
insufficient quality of voltage. It is mostly applicable in medium and low voltage markets.
Lack of information about supplied quality of voltage can lead to unexplained production problems and
malfunction or even damage to equipment used in production process. Therefore, this device can be used for
utility purposes (evaluation against standards) as well as for industial purposes (e.g. for monitoring supplied
power quality).

Purpose and use of the device
MC784 Advanced Power Quality Analyser performs measurements in compliance with regulatory requested
standard EN 61000-4-30 and evaluates recorded parameters for analysis according to parameters defined in
European supply quality standard EN 50160:2011.
Moreover device stores measurements and quality reports in internal memory for further analysis over
recorded measurements. From multiple devices installed on different locations, user can gain the overall
picture of system behaviour. This can be achieved with regard to its accurate internal real time clock and wide
range of synchronization sources support, which assure accurate, time-stamped measurements from
dislocated units.
All required measurements, weekly PQ reports and alarms can also be stored locally in an internal memory.
Stored data can be then transferred to a memory card or accessed through communication for post analysis.
The internal memory capacity enables storing of more than 170,000 variations of the measurements from the
standard values, which enables finding eventual reasons for the problems in network. Limits and required
quality in a monitored period can be defined for each monitored characteristic. The following characteristics
are measured and recorded:
