FIGURE 5–2: Actual Values – Metering / Current
A: B: C: CURRENT: Displays the current in each phase corresponding to the A, B, and C
phase inputs. Current will be measured correctly only if the
CT PRIMARY is entered to
match the installed CT primary and the CT secondary is wired to match the 1 or 5 A input. If
the displayed current does not match the actual current, check this setpoint and wiring.
Iavg/Vavg: Displays the average of the three phase currents and three voltages. This line is
not visible if the
VT WIRING setpoint is set to SINGLE PHASE DIRECT. L-N is displayed when
VT WIRING is set to 4 WIRE WYE (3 VTs), 4 WIRE WYE DIRECT, 4 WIRE WYE (2 VTs), or 3 WIRE
DIRECT
. L-L is displayed when VT WIRING is set to 3 WIRE DELTA (2 VTs).
NEUTRAL CURRENT: Neutral current can be determined by two methods. One method
measures the current via the neutral CT input. The second calculates the neutral current
based on the three phase currents; using the instantaneous samples, I
