How To Fix EL345 - Cosine phi cannot be calculated for &1

EL345 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 345

• Message text: Cosine phi cannot be calculated for &1

What causes this issue?

Cosine phi validation &v2& for device &v3& cannot be carried out
because division by zero was necessary.
The cosine phi is calculated as follows:
Cosine phi = active energy / (root(active energy? + reactive energy?))
Division by zero is only possible if both active and reactive energy
are 0.

EL345 - Details

• The SAP error message EL345, which states "Cosine phi cannot be calculated for &1," typically occurs in the context of electrical engineering and power management within SAP systems, particularly when dealing with electrical consumption and power factor calculations.
  
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Data: The necessary data for calculating the cosine phi (power factor) is missing or incomplete. This could include missing measurements for active power (kW) or reactive power (kVAR).
  
  
  Invalid Values: The values provided for active or reactive power may be invalid or zero, which makes it impossible to calculate the cosine phi.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system related to the measurement points or the way the data is being collected.
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The data types of the values being used for the calculation may not be compatible or may not be in the expected format.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EL345 error,
