I am looking at both voltage and current phase angles on a wye system. I know that if the PT's on a wye system are connected in a L-L fashion and therefore the voltgage inputs are referenced as L-L voltages then the L-N voltages on the system will be shifted by 30deg from these measured L-L voltages.
When measuring currents on a wye system the currents are always referenced as what I refer to as line currents and are essentially the L-N currents on each phase. So if on my given relay the voltage was being measured by a L-L input then I would expect my currents to be shifted 30deg (assuming unity PF) from the voltage angle simply becuase my current would be in phase with the L-N voltage readings which are shifted by 30deg from the L-L voltages.
What if however the voltage inputs to the relay were referencing a L-N voltage input and the 3 PT's were connected in a L-N configuration. Would I still expect to see this 30deg shift when looking at the line currents from CT's? I would expect no shift (again assuming unit PF) since the measured line currents would be in phase with the L-N voltage phasor.
Someone was trying to tell me that even if measuring L-N voltages there would still be a 30deg phase shift on a wye system. I just could not see this, so I'm looking for a second opinion.
