The Setup tab (shown in Figure 6-7) enables you to select the distribution system and associated parameters. This tab
includes the following selections:
● Distribution System defines the hook-up to be tested. Options are 1-Phase (2 and 3 wire), 2-Phase (2, 3, and 4
wire), and 3-Phase (3, 4, and 5 wire).

Harmonics)." This allows you to select calculations with or without harmonics.
● Transformer Factor K sets the q and e settings for the factor K (also called K-factor).
● Nominal Frequency is either 50 or 60Hz. This parameter determines the correction coefficients used for
calculating power and energy.
