  • Power (3ph, Phasor) block

Description

The Power (3ph, Phasor) block outputs total active power P and reactive power Q of a three-phase voltage-current phasor signal pair. P and Q are computed as follows:

P+jQ=12(Va×Ia+Vb×Ib+Vc×Ic)

Ia*, Ib*, Ic* are the complex conjugates of Ia, Ib, and Ic.

The figure shows sign conventions:
