You must set these parameters if you do not want the AC measurements that the controller uses for the alarms to be phase-to-
phase. These parameters determines whether the controller uses phase-to-phase or phase-to-neutral voltages.
Measurements from the neutral line can be present for phase-to-phase measurements.

Phase-phase
: The controller uses the phase-to-phase voltages for the alarms (that is,
L1-L2, L2-L3, and L3-L1).
See the
Installation instructions
for a wiring examples
for a phase-to-phase AC configuration.
Phase-neutral
: The controller uses the phase-to-neutral voltages for the alarms (that is,
L1-N, L2-N, and L3-N). Measurements from the neutral line must be present in a phase-
to-neutral system.
If you select
Single-phase L1
(or
L2
or
L3
), you must also select
Phase-neutral
.

INFO
This parameter does not affect the nominal voltages. The nominal voltages are always phase-to-phase voltages.
Phase direction: AC phase rotation
Configure this parameter under
Configure > Parameters > [Source] > AC setup > Phase direction
.
You must set this parameter if the AC phase rotation is not L1-L2-L3.
This parameter must be the same in all the controllers in the system.

L1-L3-L2
: DEIF does not recommend that you wire the system L1-L3-L2, due to
the potential for confusion. However, this parameter allows the controller to
function correctly even though the generator is wired L1-L3-L2.
