Citrus – Power Quality Analysis Software
Citrus is CHK Power Quality’s dedicated desktop application designed for detailed power quality analysis. It works seamlessly with Miro series instruments such as PQ45 and PQ35, offering engineers a complete view of system performance and disturbances. The software delivers an in-depth understanding of harmonics, inter-harmonics, voltage variations, flicker, and load profiles while generating accurate compliance reports based on IEEE 519, EN50160, and NEC 220.87 standards.
Key Uses
• Network operators use Citrus to verify compliance, assess harmonic impact, and evaluate transformer loading.
• Industrial facilities deploy it to identify process disruptions caused by dips, swells, or transients.
• Consultants and auditors rely on its automated reporting and high-resolution data visualisation to prepare technical documentation for clients.
Advantages
Citrus provides engineers with a combination of precision and ease of use. Reports can be generated with a single click, ensuring that both compliance and diagnostic evaluations are presented clearly. The system supports up to 19.2 kHz waveform captures and offers advanced event logic for detecting exceedances, sliding thresholds, and frequency related anomalies. With its intuitive interface, users can compare long term trends, overlay statistical data, and visualise transformer derating factors.
Analysis Features
• Harmonic and Flicker Analysis – Measures distortion up to the 100th order, with detailed graphical plots.
• Statistical Tools – Includes histograms, scatter plots, and daily trend summaries with compliance overlays.
• Events – Provides waveform level insight with RMS overlays and cause of trigger identification.
• Transformer Assessment – Calculates derating and thermal stress factors based on harmonic contribution.
• Compliance Reporting – Produces IEEE 519, EN50160, and NEC 220.87 reports automatically with data validation.
Communication
Citrus integrates with CHK’s CiDr and AsMoSys platforms through multiple communication channels, including USB, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and 4G. It supports DNP3 and MQTT Sparkplug protocols, allowing flexible data retrieval and integration with enterprise SCADA and IoT systems.
