Cosine phi
cos φ is the cosine of the displacement angle φ of the fundamental. The possible values of
cos φ are between -1 and 1.
SENTRON PAC4200 supplies the instantaneous value of cos φ, the maximum and minimum
values, and the time stamps of the maximum and minimum time values for each phase.
The values can be read out via the communication interfaces.
The display represents cos φ on several screens:
●
Value table of the phasor diagram, row "COS"
can be called with "MAIN MENU" > "PHASOR DIAGRAM" > F1
●
Display "COS φ",
can be called with "MAIN MENU" > "COSφ/
φ"
An inductive cos φ is marked by a coil symbol in front of the measured value and a
capacitive cos φ by a capacitor symbol.

Phase angle
SENTRON PAC4200 supplies the instantaneous values, the maximum and minimum values,
and the time stamps of the maximum and minimum time values for the phase angles L1-L1,
L1-L2 and L1-L3.
The values can be called via the communication interfaces.
