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:

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.
