16.1.4.2. Three-phase system with virtual neutral
Three-phase distribution systems without neutral are considered as a whole (no phase-by-phase power calculation). The device
therefore displays only the total quantities.
The three-wattmeter method with virtual neutral is applied for the calculation of the total active power and of the total reactive power.
Total active power.
Total apparent power.
Note: This is the RMS total apparent power as defined in IEEE 1459-2010 for distribution systems without neutral.
Total reactive power (Non-active quantities broken down – Configuration > Methods of calculation > var)
Total distortion power (Non-active quantities broken down – Configuration > Methods of calculation > var)
Total non-active power (Non-active quantities not broken down – Configuration > Methods of calculation > var)
16.1.4.3. Three-phase system without neutral
Three-phase distribution systems without neutral are considered as a whole (no phase-by-phase power calculation). The device
therefore displays only the total quantities.
The two-wattmeter method (Aron method or two-element method) is applied for the calculation of the total active power and of
the total reactive power.
