An example would be if a typical diagram has the C phase current angle at 240° and the user
has programmed an acceptable envelope of ±45° around that phasor, then the actual current
phasor must be between 195° to 285° from VA for the diagnostic to pass that check. The
system will check each current phasor in a similar fashion. Here, the current vector must be
within ±45° of the voltage vector for Diagnostic #4 to pass.

Diagnostic #4 Error Example
This example is for a Form 9S meter wired for a 4-Wire Wye system with ABC phase
rotation, but the site has a poor load power factor condition. The meter was programmed
with a tolerance level of ±45° for Diagnostic #4 and Diagnostic #1 was also enabled and has
already passed.
The following is the information from the SiteScan snapshot when the Diagnostic #4 error is
triggered.
