THERMALFUNCTION
Athermalfunctionassuresexponentthermalcharacteristicbasedonsimulationofbimetalmeters.
Maximalvaluesandtimeoftheiroccurrencearestoredindevice.Atimeconstant(t.c.)canbesetfrom1to255
minutesandis6−methermalmeconstant(t.c.=6*thermalmeconstant).

Atallmeasuringinputsnoiseisusuallypresent.Itisconstantanditsinfluenceontheaccuracyisincreasedby
decreasingmeasuringsignals.Itispresentalsowhenmeasuringsignalsarenotconnectedanditoccursatall
furthercalculationsasverysporadicmeasurements.Bysettingacommonstartingcurrent,alimitofinputsignal
isdefinedwheremeasurementsandallothercalculationsarestillperformed.
Startingcurrentforallpowers(mA) 
Noiseislimitedwithastartingcurrentalsoatmeasurementsandcalculationsofpowers.
Startingvoltageforallpowers 
Noiseislimitedwithastartingvoltagealsoatmeasurementsandcalculationsofpowers.Untilvoltagereaches
userdefinedstartingvoltagelimit,allpowersaresetto0.Usingthreewireelectricalconnections,virtualphase
voltageisusedincalculations.
StartingvoltageforSYNC(MC350,MC350HandMC330only) 
IfallvoltagesarelessthanStartingvoltageforSYNC,thanthecurrentinputsareusedforsynchronisation.Ifall
currentsarelessthanStartingcurrentforPFandPA,thanthesynchronisationisstoppedandthefrequency
resultis0Hz
