5.9: Voltage Phase Reversal and Imbalance

In a three-phase power distribution system, normal phase shift between each line is 120

°. If the EPM

5300P detects an abnormality, it displays a message of PH. The EPM 5200P does not have this feature.

VOLTAGE PHASE REVERSAL: If there is an incorrect connection, such as mistaking line A for line B, a
PH message appears. The correct sequence is a-b-c.

VOLTAGE PHASE IMBALANCE LIMIT: This is detected using the phase imbalance limit in the
Programming Mode. The phase imbalance is expressed as a percentage, with 0% indicating a 120

°

phase shift between each line. A PH message appears if the limit is exceeded.

Step 1:

a. Press and hold down

PHASE/NEXT. While

holding down

PHASE/NEXT, press

AMPS to access the

display.

!

(PH indicates both

Voltage Phase

Reversals and Voltage

Phase Imbalances.)

Step 2:

a. Press PHASE/NEXT

to select zero.

!

This display

indicates a Voltage

Phase Reversal.

!

This display

indicates a Voltage

Phase Imbalance.


Note: In the event Voltage Phase Reversal and Voltage Phase Imbalance occur simultaneously,

the display alternates between the incorrect phase sequence and the exceeded limit
percentage. After six seconds the display returns to the normal operating mode.
