Differences in 3-phase/3-wire/3-wattmeter measurement (3P3W3M) calcu-
lations between the PW3360 and the 3169-20/21
This section describes differences in how the PW3660 Clamp on Power Logger and
the 3169-20/21 Clamp on Power HiTester perform calculations during 3-phase/3-
wire/3-wattmeter (3P3W3M) measurement.
As indicated in the following table, the apparent power and power factor values gen-
erated by the 3169-20/21 for each channel are not available for each phase because
the instrument uses line-to-line voltages to calculate apparent power and power fac-
tor for each channel. By contrast, since the PW3660 uses phase voltages, the
apparent power and power factor values for each channel are available for each
phase. Consequently, it is possible to check balance for individual phases.
