Computing the Motor Efficiency and Total Efficiency
This instrument can compute the motor efficiency (the ratio of power consumption to motor output) and total
efficiency from the active power and motor output that it measures.* You can set the efficiency equation using
the η Formula setting.
* The total efficiency is the ratio of total power consumption—not just the power consumption of the motor but
also the power consumption of the converter that supplies the motor with power—to motor output.
The following is an example of how the values are computed.

If ΣA or ΣB is a three-phase, three-wire (3P3W) system, you can use
to perform
3P3W>3V3A transformation on ΣA and ΣB. From the 3P3W>3V3A transformation, you can determine one
unmeasured line voltage and one unmeasured common mode current.
