Figure 635: Natural unbalance compensation. (a) Healthy condition when the natural
unbalance is recorded (b) Unbalance compensation during faulty conditions
The natural unbalance compensation for each phase is enabled based on the
settings
Natural Comp Ena PhA
,
Natural Comp Ena PhB
and
Natural Comp Ena PhC
respectively. For example, if
Natural Comp Ena PhA
is set to “FALSE”, the unbalance
current is not compensated. If
Natural Comp Ena PhA
is set to “TRUE”, the
compensated unbalance current for phase A is calculated based on the equation.

The phasewise-compensated unbalance current amplitudes and angles
I_COM_AMPL_A, I_COM_ANGL_A, I_COM_AMPL_B, I_COM_ANGL_B, I_COM_AMPL_C
and I_COM_ANGL_C are available in the monitored data view.
The phase angles of the unbalance currents indicate the branch of a faulty element
in a capacitor bank. For an internal fuse capacitor bank, the element failure branch
location is determined based on the phase angle of the compensated unbalance
current.
