Basic function principles

Measuring principle
The EL3443 works with 6 analog/digital converters for recording the current and voltage values of all 3
phases.
Recording and processing is synchronous and identical for the 3 phases. The signal processing for one
phase is described below. This description applies correspondingly for all 3 phases.

RMS value calculation
The RMS value for voltage and current is calculated during the period T. The following equations are used:
u : instantaneous voltage value
(t)
i : instantaneous current value
(t)
n: number of measured values
The instantaneous values for current and voltage are low-pass filtered with a cut-off frequency of 2.5 kHz for
the EL3443, EL3423 and EL3483.
Active power measurement
The EL34xx measures the active power P according to the following equation
P: active power
n: number of samples
u : instantaneous voltage value
(t)
i : instantaneous current value
(t)
