Diagnosing 3 Phase Wiring Errors with SATEC Power Analysis Software (L1 Reversed)

Learn how to identify and correct 3-phase wiring errors using SATEC Power Analysis Software (PAS).

In this video, the EM235 power analyser is connected via Ethernet TCP/IP, and PAS is used to detect a reversed L1 wiring issue. Negative active power readings, waveform analysis, and vector diagrams reveal the problem, which is then corrected and verified in real time.

PAS makes it simple to diagnose wiring issues safely and document before-and-after results for compliance and reporting.

What You’ll Learn:

1. How to detect wiring errors with PAS using real-time monitoring

2. Identifying negative active power values as an indicator of wiring faults

3. Using waveform capture to compare voltage and current phase relationships

4. Diagnosing a 180° phase shift on L1 between voltage and current

5. Visualising phase relationships with vector diagrams

6. Correcting wiring and confirming improvements in real time

7. Documentation of meter verification.
