Per unit [pu] scaling of line-to-line voltages
One per unit = 1 pu = 1xU
N
= 100 %, where U
N
= rated voltage

Example 1: Secondary to per unit.
VT = 12000/110
Three symmetric phase-to-neutral voltages connected to the
device's inputs U
a
,U

and U
c
are 63.5 V
Per unit voltage is

PU
= 3x63.5/110x12000/11000 = 1.00 pu = 1.00xU

Example 1: Secondary to per unit.
VT = 12000/110
Voltage connected to the device's input U
a
is 38.1 V, while
U
a
= U
b
= 0.
Per unit voltage is
U
PU
= (38.1+0+0)/(3x110) = 0.20 pu = 20 %
Example 2: Per unit to secondary.
VT = 12000/110
The device displays U
