The following is a typical presentation of a three-phase system where current lags
the voltage by 30 degrees.

wiring errors. Use the phasors displayed by the relay and the tables on pages 6–18
and 6–21 to determine if VTs and CTs are on the correct phases and their polarity is
correct. Problems arising from incorrect wiring include:
Extremely high unbalance levels (CTs),
Erroneous power readings (CTs and VTs),
Phase reversal trips (VTs).
To correct wiring, simply start the motor and record the phasors. The correct
phasors can be determined using the tables along with recorded phasors, system
rotation, VT connection type, and motor power factor. Note that the phase angle for
Va (Vab if delta) is always assumed to be 0° and is the reference for all angle
measurements.
Common problems include:
Phase currents 180° from proper location (CT polarity reversed)
Phase currents or voltages 120° or 240° out (CT/VT on wrong phase)
An explanation of how the relay identifies and displays system quantities follows.
Assume that the relay is connected to a balanced three-phase system and that V
