Correcting phase errors for current sensors
Current sensors generally exhibit a tendency for phase error to increase gradually in the high-
frequency region of their frequency band. By using sensor-specific phase characteristics
information to correct the measured values, it is possible to reduce the error component in power
measurement made in a high-frequency region.

Phase correction for current
sensors with auto-recognition
function
When using a current sensor with the
auto-recognition function, the phase of the
current sensor is automatically corrected.
If you wish to set any phase correction
values, follow the steps listed in the
following “How to enter phase correction
values” section.
How to enter phase correction values
For current sensors without the auto-recognition function, it is recommended to perform phase
correction for the current sensor before measurement.

Tap the detailed display area for the
channel to be configured.
2
Tap the [
Phase Shift
] area box and
select [On] .
When using a current sensor equipped with the
auto-recognition function, [Auto] is displayed
as an alternatives. When [Auto] is selected,
the correction values are entered automatically.
3
Tap the frequency box, then enter the
frequency with the numeric keypad.
4
Tap the phase difference box, then
enter the phase difference with the
numeric keypad.

IMPORTANT
• Enter the phase correction value accurately.
Invalid settings can cause the correction
process to increase measurement error.
• Operation outside the frequency range within
which the current sensor’s phase accuracy is
specified is not defined.
