4.2.2 Measurands in 3-wire and 4-wire Networks
The Digital Transducer SENTRON PAC5100/5200 can measure or calculate the following quantities in 3-wire
and
4-wire networks (delta and star connection): Chapter 4.2.3 contains a detailed list of all measurands.
Measured and Calculated Quantities
The operational quantities alternating voltage V
ph-N
, alternating voltage V
ph-ph
, alternating current I
ph
,
alternating voltage across the neutral conductor V
N
, and frequency f are measured directly. All other
operational measurands, harmonics, THDS (Subgroup Total Harmonic Distortion), power and energy
quantities are calculated from the measured operational quantities.
