to increase/decrease the angle until the instrument reads ‘Rev’. Record the angle (Reverse lead PU).
Reduce the current angle until the ’Rev’ extinguishes (Reverse lead DO). and the ‘Fwd’ subsequently returns
(Forward lead PU), recording the angles. Repeat the above tests, starting from the Characteristic Angle, but
reducing the current phase angle to record the directional boundaries in the opposite (lag) direction. The
recorded angle should be the angle at which the phase current leads the phase-phase polarising voltage.
This measurement is greatly simplified if the polarising reference voltage is set to 0deg and the current
phase angle is measured with respect to this reference.
Alternatively, the instrument can be checked at the 4 points marked a,b,c & d on Figure 2-1 only.

phase-phase operate voltage.
