Voltage Output Connections
When setting up an unbalanced Open-Delta configuration, the desired phase-to-phase fault
voltage, V
1f
is set using voltage channel #1 with its phase angle set to 0
°
. Phase-to-phase
voltage V
2f
and its phase angle relationship for voltage channel #2, must be calculated using the
Law of Cosines; where For any triangle the following formula applies:

The next figure shows the phase relationships between voltages and an example of the
necessary calculation. For convenience the amplitude and the phase angle settings for the
typical V

fault magnitudes are tabulated.
