  The Test Beam Line at the CLIC Test Facility 3 at CERN is a proof-of-principle of the future CLIC decelerators, which will extract a large amount of beam energy for acceleration of the main CLIC beams. The current beamline consists of a FODO lattice with 13 Power Extraction and Transfer Structures (PETS). We discuss beam deceleration measurements of up to 37 %, taking into account effects from the bunch length and the bunch phase. The 12 GHz phase is reproduced based on measurements in a PETS with an uncombined beam. The spectrometer measurements are also compared to predictions based on the beam current and on the produced rf power in the PETS, as well as particle tracking simulations with the Placet code.
