!The functions are accessed in a clockwise sequence.

Note: For KWH readings: The first digit on the left of the KWH counter will blank out on the display when rollover at 199999 KWH occurs. The actual value of the first digit can only be viewed through digital communications. Or, reset the KWH counter to zero to avoid confusion.

5.2: Accessing Voltage and Current Phases

The EPM5300P displays four current measurements (phases A, B, C, and Neutral) and six voltage measurements (phase-to-phase: A-B, B-C, C-A and phase-to-neutral: A-N, B-N, C-N).

5.3: Accessing %THD Functions

Harmonic Measurement readings are available on the EPM 5300P meter. The EPM 5300P displays 6 parameters of total harmonic distortion. It measures harmonic waveforms and %THD for voltage phases A-N, B-N and C-N, and current phases A, B and C. Measurement capability reaches the 31st harmonic order. All readings are faceplate accessible.
