Functional overview of OC4PTOC
A common setting for all steps, StartPhSel, is used to specify the number of phase
currents to be high to enable operation. These settings can be chosen: 1 out of 3, 2
out of 3 or 3 out of 3.
Using a parameter setting MeasType within the general settings for the function
OC4PTOC, it is possible to select the type of the measurement used for all
overcurrent stages. Either discrete Fourier filter (DFT) or true RMS filter (RMS)
can be selected.
If the DFT option is selected, only the RMS value of the fundamental frequency
component of each phase current is derived. The influence of the DC current
component and higher harmonic current components are almost completely
suppressed. If the RMS option is selected, then the true RMS value is used. The
true RMS value includes the contribution from the current DC component as well
as from the higher current harmonic in addition to the fundamental frequency
component.
