Abstract
The DC content of each phase of a three phase AC waveform is generated by partially filtering each phase and applying the filtered waveforms sequentially through a multiplexer to a sample and hold circuit which measures the instantaneous value of each phase at two points which are spaced an exact odd number of half-cycles apart. These instantaneous values are fed by an analog to digital converter into a microprocessor which averages the two readings to generate the DC content for each phase and compares the highest DC content with a threshold value. The excess of the highest DC content over the threshold value is integrated and an output signal is generated when the accumulated volt-seconds exceed a selected value.
