How To Fix EL268 - Dependent validation 04: Result below permissible cosine phi of &1

EL268 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EL - IS-U meter reading data processing

• Message number: 268

• Message text: Dependent validation 04: Result below permissible cosine phi of &1

What causes this issue?

During dependent validation 04 (cosine of pi validation against lower
limit), the system determined that the current <DS:DE.COSINEPHI>cosine
of pi</> is less than the maximum permissible lower limit.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

EL268 - Details

• The SAP error message EL268, which states "Dependent validation 04: Result below permissible cosine phi of &1," typically occurs in the context of electrical engineering and power system calculations within SAP. This error is related to the validation of power factor (cosine phi) in electrical equipment or systems, particularly in the context of load flow calculations or when configuring electrical components in SAP.
  
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the calculated power factor (cosine phi) for a particular electrical component or system is below the permissible limit defined in the system. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The electrical parameters (like load, voltage, etc.) for the equipment may be incorrectly configured.
  Load Conditions: The load conditions may be such that they lead to a low power factor, which is not acceptable for the system.
  Equipment Ratings: The equipment may not be rated to handle the current load, leading to a poor power factor.
