The calculation of the phase-phase loop does not take place as long as one of the con-
cerned phases is switched off (during single-pole dead time), to avoid an incorrect
measurement with the undefined measured values existing during this state. A state
recognition (refer to Section 2.23.1) provides the corresponding block signal. A logic
block diagram of the phase-phase measuring system is shown in Figure 2-34.

Phase–Earth Loops For the calculation of the phase-earth loop, for example during a L3-E (Figure 2-35) it
must be noted that the impedance of the earth return path does not correspond to the
impedance of the phase. In the loop equation
