subsequent triggers and continues to record data until the active record is full. Once the data logger is full, a CLEAR DATA
LOGGER command is required to clear the data logger record before a new record can be started. Performing the CLEAR
DATA LOGGER command also stops the current record and resets the data logger to be ready for the next trigger.

log. The parameters available in a given relay are dependent on: the type of relay, the type and number of CT/VT hardware
modules installed, and the type and number of Analog Input hardware modules installed. Upon startup, the relay
automatically prepares the parameter list. A list of all possible analog metering actual value parameters is shown in
Appendix A: FlexAnalog Parameters. The parameter index number shown in any of the tables is used to expedite the
selection of the parameter on the relay display. It can be time-consuming to scan through the list of parameters via the
relay keypad/display—entering this number via the relay keypad causes the corresponding parameter to display.

The relay measures current demand on each phase, and three-phase demand for real, reactive, and apparent power.
Current and Power methods can be chosen separately for the convenience of the user. Settings are provided to allow the
user to emulate common electrical utility demand measuring techniques, for statistical or control purposes. If the
is set to "Block Interval" and the

is assigned to any other FlexLogic operand, Method 2a is used as follows.
TRIGGER
The relay can be set to calculate demand by any of the following three methods.
5.3.11.1 Calculation method 1: Thermal exponential
This method emulates the action of an analog peak-recording thermal demand meter. The relay measures the quantity
(RMS current, real power, reactive power, or apparent power) on each phase every second and assumes that the circuit
quantity remains at this value until updated by the next measurement. It calculates the 'thermal demand equivalent'
based on the following equation:
where
d = demand value after applying input quantity for time t (in minutes)
D = input quantity (constant)
k = 2.3 / thermal 90% response time
The figure shows the 90% thermal response time characteristic of 15 minutes. A setpoint establishes the time to reach
90% of a steady-state value, just as the response time of an analog instrument. A steady state value applied for twice the
response time indicates 99% of the value.
