    Capable of integrating different polarities independently, such as active power consumption/regeneration and reactive power lag/lead. Three-Voltage, Three-Current Measurement Capable of measuring 3-voltage, 3-current when the 3169-20/21 is connected to a three-phase, 3-wire line. Harmonic Measurement Capable of measuring the harmonics of a power line simultaneously with integrated power (watt-hour) measurement.

  • Page 67: Setting The Synchronization Method

    What is PLL? PLL stands for "Phase Locked Loop" and is a phase synchroniza- tion circuit. The 3169-20/21 uses PLL to generate a frequency syn- chronized with the fundamental wave (50/60 Hz) and multiplied by 128, to sample input waveforms of voltage and current. If there is no PLL input (PLL source), there is no means of sampling input waveforms, and calculation cannot be performed.
