4. MEASUREMENT AND RECORDS

4.1 Settings
The measured values are displayed on the LCD of the relay ; they are true RMS
values (up to the 10th harmonic) and are primary values.
They can also be read through the communication ports (RS232 or RS485).
4.2 Disturbance record (P922 and P923)
The MiCOM P922-P923 is able to store up to 5 records of 2.5s each.
