    a.4 supported Electrical networks The following types of distribution systems are supported: ■ V1, V2, V3 are the line-to-neutral voltages of the installation under test ■ [V1=VL1-N; V2=VL2-N; V3=VL3-N]. ■ Low caps v1, v2, v3 are used for time values ■...
  • Page 88 This method is named 2½ element method. Power measurement method is based on 3 wattmeters method with virtual neutral. Voltage measurements are performed between L1, L3 and N. see § 3.6.4.3 3-Phase 4-Wire Y 2½ 3P-4WY2 V2 is calculated: v2 = - v1 - v3, u12 = 2·v1 + v3, u23= - v1 - 2·v3. It supposes that V2 is balanced.
