Abstract
A system for a three-phase electric power system includes a plurality of voltage sensors sensing three-phase voltages of the three-phase electric power system; a plurality of current sensors sensing three-phase currents of the three-phase electric power system; and a number of analog-to-digital converters converting the sensed three-phase voltages and the sensed three-phase currents of the three-phase electric power system to corresponding digital values. A processor calculates from the corresponding digital values at least two phase angles between voltage and current for at least two of three phases of the three-phase electric power system, diagnoses polarities and phase associations for at least two of the current sensors based on, for each of the at least two current sensors, a predetermined wiring configuration of the three-phase electric power system and a corresponding one of the at least two phase angles being within a corresponding predetermined angular range, and outputs corresponding diagnosis results.
