3-phase 3-wire Measurement
Since the values calculated internally
U
.
3
and
I
.
2
are also applied to the 3-phase total reactive power
Q, apparent power
S
, and power factor
PF
values, these values can also be calculated accurately in
the event of an unbalanced state. [When PF/Q/S setting (p. 66) is RMS]
However, because the three phases are calculated from two power values in 2-wattmeter
measurement, it is not possible to check the power balance between respective phases. If you wish
to check the power balance for individual phases, use 3-wattmeter (3P3W3M) measurement.

In 3P3W2M measurement, the instrument inputs the 3-phase line’s T-phase current as each current’s I2
parameter. For display purposes, a current value of Phase T in the 3-phase line is displayed as the current I2;
and a calculated value of Phase S in the 3-phase line, as the current I3.
