directional boundaries in the opposite (lag) direction. The recorded angle should be the angle at which the
phase current leads the phase-phase polarising voltage. This measurement is greatly simplified if the
polarising reference voltage is set to 0deg and the current phase angle is measured with respect to this
reference.
Alternatively, the instrument can be checked at the 4 points marked a,b,c & d on Figure 2-1 only.
