Inrush current event setting on the Power Quality Analyzer PQ3198/PW3198

QI want to measure inrush current using the PQ3198/PW3198. In the EVENT2-CURRENT screen, there are "Inrush" and "I peak" selections. Which one is more appropriate to capture inrush current at 5A instantaneous peak?

A

Both are able to detect and capture the event waveform, though the detection timing is slightly different due to the differing threshold definitions:


Inrush:  Detect when the current RMS value (half cycle) is 5A or higher.
I peak:  Detect when the waveform peak is 5A or higher.
