Synchrophasor Homework Network for ERCOT U.T. McDonald Observatory PMU Oscilloscope View. If UT Austin = 0º ref, then McD leads by 60º, and Pan Am lags by 30º +60º −30º U.T. Pan Am PMU 360º Small oscillations in the relative phase angles give an indication grid stability. Essentially, these oscillations provide an “EKG” for large power grids.
