Even if the AnalogInputType setting of a SMAI block is set to Current,
the MinValFreqMeas setting is still visible. This means that the
minimum level for current amplitude is based on VBase. For example,
if VBase is 20000, the minimum amplitude for current is 20000 * 10%
= 2000. This has practical affect only if the current measuring SMAI is
used as a frequency reference for the adaptive DFT. This is not
recommended, see the Setting guidelines.

Operation principle

Every SMAI can receive four analog signals (three phases and one neutral value),
either voltage or current. The AnalogInputType setting should be set according to the
input connected. The signal received by SMAI is processed internally and in total 244
different electrical parameters are obtained for example RMS value, peak-to-peak,
frequency and so on. The activation of BLOCK input resets all outputs to 0.
SMAI_20 does all the calculation based on nominal 20 samples per line frequency
period, this gives a sample frequency of 1 kHz at 50 Hz nominal line frequency and 1.2
kHz at 60 Hz nominal line frequency.
The output signals AI1...AI4 in SMAI_20_x function block are direct outputs of the
connected input signals GRPx_A, GRPx_B, GRPx_C and GRPx_N. GRPx_N is always
the neutral current. If GRPx_N is not connected, the output AI4 is zero. The AIN
output is the calculated residual quantity, obtained as a sum of inputs GRPx_A,
GRPx_B and GRPx_C but is equal to output AI4 if GRPx_N is connected. The
outputs signal AI1, AI2, AI3 and AIN are normally connected to the analog
disturbance recorder.
The SMAI function block always calculates the residual quantities in
case only the three phases (Ph-N) are connected (GRPx_N input not used).
The output signal AI3P in the SMAI function block is a group output signal
containing all processed electrical information from inputs GRPx_A, GRPx_B,
GRPx_C and GRPx_N. Applications with a few exceptions shall always be connected
to AI3P.
The input signal REVROT is used to reverse the phase order.
A few points need to be ensured for SMAI to process the analog signal correctly.
