4.1 Three-Phase Sinusoidal Signal Emulation
In this application, input to the Phase Sequence Detector is a three-phase A/C input. Detection of the phase sequence, phase loss and RMS voltage calculation of the input supply are the principal functions of the application.
As discussed in the Application Overview section, the demo is using a waveform emulator to substitute the three-phase power supply. The following characteristics are required from the emulated signal to demonstrate the application:
- Three-phase signal (L1-L2-L3)
- Configurable amplitude
- Configurable phase shift
- Configurable frequency
To accomplish the above features, a three-phase emulator is assembled using three MIKROE Waveform Click boards. The Waveform Click can generate the sinusoidal waveform with configurable frequency, phase and amplitude. Three Waveform Clicks are used to generate the required three-phase sinusoidal signal with 120° phase shift which is fed as input to the phase sequence detection system. The emulated three-phase sinusoidal signal with the provision of changing the waveform configurations in run time helps in demonstrating all the features of the implemented Phase Sequence Detection system efficiently.
