Figure 2.25 Synchronism-Check Voltage Reference
For a given secondary base voltage, phase-to-phase voltages are a factor of
1.73 (3) times the magnitude of the phase-to-neutral voltages. In reverse,
phase-to-neutral voltages are a factor of 0.58 (1/3) times the magnitude of
the phase-to-phase voltages. Therefore, you must compensate the Bus 1
voltage V
BC
magnitude with setting KS1M to reference it to the synchronism-
check voltage reference V
P
magnitude.
KS1M := 0.58 Synchronism Source 1 Ratio Factor (0.10–3)
You do not need special magnitude compensation for the Bus 2 voltage V
C
to
reference Synchronism Source 2 to the synchronism-check voltage reference
V
P
magnitude; these are both phase-to-neutral voltages with the same nominal
rating (for example, 67 V secondary).
KS2M := 1.00 Synchronism Source 1 Ratio Factor (0.10–3)
As another example of synchronism-source magnitude adjustment flexibility,
suppose Bus 1 voltage V
BC
is 201 V secondary (phase-to-phase), and the
synchronism-check voltage reference V
P
is 67 V secondary (phase-to-
neutral). Then, the magnitude compensation setting would be as in
Equation 2.2.

The Figure 2.25 example continues in Figure 2.26, which graphically
illustrates how the introduced settings adjust the Bus 1 and Bus 2
synchronism-check input voltages in angle and magnitude to reference to the
synchronism-check voltage reference V
P
. The resultant Bus 1 and Bus 2
voltages are the normalized synchronism-check voltage sources V
S1
and V
S2
,
respectively.
