11. Appendix 11.1. DEMAND CALCULATION Demand parameters are used to show average values over a demand interval.This power meter using sliding block method. The demand value is based on interval divide by sub-interval time. Example is shown below: SETTING: Interval time = 180 seconds ; sub-interval = 3 Measurement = interval time / sub-interval = 180 / 3 = 60 seconds ---------...
11.3. NEUTRAL CURRENT CALCULATION The formula for neutral current, Ln is: √ A - AB - AC - BC where; A: Current Line 1 (A) B: Current Line 2 (A) C: Current Line 3 (A) Example Given L1 is 3A, L2 is 6A, L3 is 8A; Substitute into formula;...
