VM3PH2 Voltage Meter (3-Phase, L-L, RMS)

Description

A function to measure the three phase RMS volts at three nodes of an electric circuit.  This is accomplished by smoothing the 3-phase rectified voltage to remove any ripple.  The three phase rectified voltage is calculated as:

 

 

 

 

 

Measured 3-phase, L-G Input Voltage Waveform

 

 

Where,

 

The instantaneous voltage magnitudes at EMTDC nodes NA, NB and NC respectively, in EMTDC subsystem SS.

 

 

Before being output, VRMS is passed first through the REALP2 smoothing function with time constant TS in order to partially remove ripple.  Note that the remaining ripple will possess a frequency of six times the fundamental frequency (i.e. a period of 2.78 ms @ 60 Hz fundamental).  Hence, a value in the range 5 ms < TS < 20 ms is typical.

 

This function is similar to the RMS3PH function, except that instead of entering the input functions directly, the EMTDC node numbers are used.
