RMS values
RMS currents
The device calculates the RMS value of each phase current. The
minimum and the maximum of RMS values are recorded and
stored (see chapter 4.5).

Harmonics and Total Harmonic
Distortion (THD)
The device calculates the THDs as percentage of the base
frequency for currents.
The device calculates the harmonics from the 2
nd
to the 15
th
of
phase currents. (The 17
th
harmonic component will also be
shown partly in the value of the 15
th
harmonic component. This
is due to the nature of digital sampling.)
The harmonic distortion is calculated using equation

Another way to calculate THD is to use the RMS value as
reference instead of the fundamental frequency value. In the
example above the result would then be 13.0 %.
