Intelligent electronic device control using wirelessly transmitted multi-phase electrical measurements

One or more tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of an intelligent electronic device configured to control at least part of an electric power distribution system, cause the processor to:

• operate the intelligent electronic device that comprises the processor according to a first mode when the intelligent electronic device has wireless communication with:
• a first wireless electrical measurement device that obtains electrical measurements of a first phase on a first distribution line of the electric power distribution system;
• a second wireless electrical measurement device that obtains electrical measurements of a second phase on a second distribution line of the electric power distribution system;
• and
• a third wireless electrical measurement device that obtains electrical measurements of a third phase on a third distribution line of the electric power distribution system;
• and
• operate the intelligent electronic device according to a second mode when the intelligent electronic device has lost wireless communication with one of the first wireless electrical measurement device, the second wireless electrical measurement device, and the third wireless electrical measurement device while remaining in wireless communication with two of the first wireless electrical measurement device, the second wireless electrical measurement device, and the third wireless electrical measurement device.
