The metered frequency values are displayed in this menu. The "SRC 1" text will be replaced by whatever name was pro-
grammed by the user for the associated source (see SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP SIGNAL SOURCES).
SOURCE FREQUENCY is measured via software-implemented zero-crossing detection of an AC signal. The signal is either a
Clarke transformation of three-phase voltages or currents, auxiliary voltage, or ground current as per source configuration
(see the SYSTEM SETUP POWER SYSTEM settings). The signal used for frequency estimation is low-pass filtered. The
final frequency measurement is passed through a validation filter that eliminates false readings due to signal distortions and
transients.

PATH: ACTUAL VALUES METERING SYNCHROCHECK SYNCHROCHECK 1(4)
If a synchrocheck function setting is "Disabled", the corresponding actual values menu item is not displayed.
6.3.4 TRACKING FREQUENCY
PATH: ACTUAL VALUES METERING TRACKING FREQUENCY
The tracking frequency is displayed here. The frequency is tracked based on the selection of the reference source with the
FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting in the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP POWER SYSTEM menu. See the Power
System section of chapter 5 for details.
