3.4 Power Supply

The Meter can be powered either from the VT signals or by the auxiliary power supply input.
If powered by the VT signals, the meter has three phase power supply to power all electronics
circuitry. This approach insures that the meter is completely functional with single phase. This
guarantee that if two phases goes out for some reason the meter still operate and register
accurately the energy consumed by the existing phase.
If the meter is powered by the auxiliary power supply input at terminal 21 & 25. To use AC power,
connect the line supply wire to the L+ terminal and the neutral supply wire to the N- terminal. To
use DC power, connect the positive supply wire to the L+ terminal and the negative supply wire to
the N- terminal.

4. Functional Description
4.1 Measurement
The meter contains three voltage sensors and three current sensors as in Fig 4.1 all the sensors
outputs are conditioned using signal conditioning circuit before feeding to analog to digital
converter (A/D) and then feed to power calculation module. This module calculate rms voltage,
current, active power, reactive power, apparent power and frequency, and then generate LED
pulse according to active and reactive power calculated and send this information to
microcontroller that calculates the energy consumption and display Basic and Tariff registers.
Fig 4.1 Basic Block Diagram of the meter
4.1.1 Measuring Principle
The meter measure and display active power, reactive power and apparent power. The
calculations is done as fallows
Active power (P) = Voltage (V) * Current (I) * cos (Φ)

Reactive Power (Q) = Voltage (V) * Current (I) * sin (Φ)
Apparent Power (S) = Voltage (V) * Current (I)
Power factor = P / S
Active and reactive power can be import (+) or export (-) depending on the angle between voltage
and current as in Fig 4.2

4.1.2 Active power calculation
The meter calculates each phase alone then sum the total according to below formulas
(3P4W METERS)
PHASE 1 P1 = V1 x I1 * cos (Φ1) phase 1 active power

TOTAL Ptotal = P1+P2+P3 total active power
(3P3W METERS)

TOTAL Ptotal = P1+P3 total active power
4.1.3 Reactive power calculation
The meter calculates each phase alone then sum the total according to below formulas
(3P4W METERS)
PHASE 1 Q1 = V1 * I1 * sin(Φ1) phase 1 reactive power

TOTAL Qtotal = Q1+Q2+Q3 total reactive power
120-003215, REV 2, January 2011 18/56

(3P3W METERS)

TOTAL Qtotal = Q1+Q3 total reactive power
4.1.4 Apparent power calculation
The meter calculates each phase alone according to active and reactive power for each phase
then sum the total according to below formulas
(3P4W METERS)
PHASE 1 S1 = I1*V1 phase 1 apparent power

TOTAL Stotal= S1+S2+S3 total apparent power
(3P3W METERS)

TOTAL Stotal= ((PT) 2 + (QT) 2)1/2 total apparent power
4.1.5 Measurement of energy
The meter calculates amount of power consumed during a period of one hour, kilo Watt hour
(kWh), kilo Var hour (kVarh) and kilo VoltAmp hour (kVAh).
For 3P4W Meter-type, the meter examine each phase individually, phase measuring positive
power is considered as import and phase measuring negative power is considered as export.
Import energy is registered in import registers and export energy is registered in export registers.
For 3P3W Meter-type, the meter examines power for all phases together as a total power, it sums
up all three phase power together, the resultant determines the type of energy flow, positive
power is considered import and negative power is considered export. According to the type of
energy it will be stored in respective register, if it is Import then energy is registered in import
registers or if it is export then energy is registered in export registers.
120-003215, REV 2, January 2011 19/56

4.1.6 Demand Calculation
The Meter calculates the demand by accumulating the power (kW, kvar or kVA) for Active,
Reactive & Apparent Powers over a specified period of time, called integration period, and then
the Power is divided by the integration period to get the average over this period. The Meter
supports block and sliding window methods for calculating the demand with programmable
integration periods of 15, 30 or 60 minutes. And fixed sub interval of 5 minutes for sliding window
method. The end of last demand period in a day will match 00:00 hours. The Meter can be
programmed with Block or Slide to use any of this method to calculate the demand. The Meter
will display the method used when scrolling to any of the demand screens. Demand calculation is
explained in detail as below.
All the following values represent an average for one of the energy components in a user
specified integration period. They are calculated according to two different methods (will be
described later). The target of the demand calculation is to watch the load behavior over a certain
period. In some countries the demand has an effect to the customer bill.
Active Energy Demand (W):
The active energy demand is the average of active power during one integration period. It is
updated according to the following equation:
[Demand (W ) = consumption / duration]
Where:
• Consumption is the sum of the active power consumed during the integration interval.
• Duration is the interval in minutes.
Reactive Energy Demand (VAR):
The reactive energy demand is the average of reactive power during one integration period. It is
[Demand (VAR) = consumption / duration ]
Where:
• Consumption is the sum of the reactive power consumed during the integration interval.
Apparent Energy Demand (VA):
The apparent energy demand is the average of apparent power during one integration period. It is
Demand (VA) = consumption / duration
Where:
• Consumption is the sum of the apparent power consumed during the integration interval.
Demand Calculation Methods:
Demand represents the average of the energy component over a programmable integration
period. There are two methods for demand calculation used:
• Block method.
• Sliding window method.
120-003215, REV 2, January 2011 20/56

Block Method:
In the block method the demand is averaged and updated every integration period as in the figure
below (assuming the integration period is 30 minute):
…
00:00
00:30
01:00
01:30
Sliding Window Method:
In the sliding window method the demand is averaged and updated every sub-interval which is
fixed to 5 minutes for the last integration period as in the figure below (assuming the integration
period is 30 minute):
… …
00:00
00:05
00:10
00:15
00:20
00:25

00:55
01:00
01:05
01:10
01:15
01:20
01:25
01:30
Demand Calculation Mechanism:
Every second the system sums each energy component in its own sum registers. Each register
will hold the sum of five minutes and then stored in a circular buffer. The demand is calculated as
follow:
Block method:
At the end of every integration interval the demand is calculated by summing the past sub-
intervals and dividing the result by number of seconds in the integration period.
Sliding Window method:
At the end of every sub-interval (5 minutes) the demand is calculated by summing the past sub-
intervals and dividing the result by number of seconds in the integration period.
120-003215, REV 2, January 2011 21/56

4.1.7 Maximum Demand Calculation
At the end of each integration period, the Meter examines the demand value to check for
maximum value. If the Demand value is greater than the Maximum Demand value, the Meter will
replace the previous maximum with the new maximum with date and time stamp.
For Minimum Power Factor Lag & Minimum Power Factor Lead there are two separate registers
and does not influence each other & each register works independently. The Meter examines the
PF (Lag or Lead) value to check for minimum value. If the current PF (Lag or Lead) value is
smaller than the minimum registered PF value (Lag register or Lead register), the Meter will
replace the previous minimum value with the new minimum value with date and time stamp.
Figure 4.2B
Updating of Minimum Lag & Lead take place under following cases:
Updating of Minimum LAG occurs when:

• Case 1: If (Demand (W) is Import and Demand (VAR) is Import (Quadrant-1)
• Case 2: If (Demand (W) is Export and Demand (VAR) is Export (Quadrant-3)
Updating of Minimum Lead occurs when:

• Case 1: If (Demand (W) is Export and Demand (VAR) is Import (Quadrant-2)
• Case 2: If (Demand (W) is Import and Demand (VAR) is Export (Quadrant-4)

4.5 Real Time Clock (RTC)

The meter is equipped with quartz oscillator real time clock / calendar (RTC) which generates
signals for the switching of various tariffs, automatic reset and integration period for demand, load
profile etc. The clock uses the 24h notation. With Day 1 being Monday. The calendar is accurate
for meter service life and automatically caters for leap year. Accuracy of the clock is per
IEC62054-21 (2004-05).
A lithium backup battery keeps the RTC running in the event of power OFF or meter storage in
the utility warehouse. The battery offers back-up power for at least 10-year continuous operation
and 1 year continuous operation after 10 years storage.
4.5.1 Adjusting date and time of the Meter
Forward Adjustment:
If the time is adjusted the meter will clear demand.
Backward Adjustment:
***CAUTION***
If the backward time adjustment in minutes is greater than the demand integration period
(15 minutes), then the Meter will perform the following:
¾ Clear load profile

¾ Clear Demand
¾ Clear maximum demand
¾ Clear tampering
¾ Clear outage logging
¾ Clear the duplicated storage for historical data if it happens to go to
previous month or previous reset period.
Time synchronization:
Any backward time adjustment below 15 minutes is considered as Time synchronization
and will result only a clear of demand registers. Two consecutive time backward
synchronization cannot be accepted by the meter (the second one will be rejected) until
the time crosses the old time before synchronization.
120-003215, REV 2, January 2011 41/56

For example: The meter time is now 10:30:00 and it is adjusted to 10:20:00, this will be
considered as first time synchronization. Now the meter will not accept second backward
synchronization until meter current time becomes 10:30:00 or 10 minutes are passed.
4.6 Non volatile memory (EEPROM)

The meter have a reliable method for saving meter registers like kWh, kvarh and kVAh and
events logging like tamper, historical data and load profile. If the meter detects a power loss, it will
automatically save all registers and logs in the EEPROM. The data is guaranteed to be stored for
up to 20 years without any power. In case of Meter damage EEPROM can be externally powered
& data can be read.
4.7 Output Relays

The Meter Provides 4 output relays (refer to section 2.8 for electrical specifications), normally
open (NO). The 4 dry contacts can be used to provide alarms by closing there contact when the
respective measured quantity goes out of configured parameter thresholds for more than 5
minutes for presences and absence.

120-003215, REV 2, January 2011 43/56

4.8 Events Handling & logging
4.8.1 Events handling
The meter is protected against tampering or accidental wrong wiring. The meter provides the
following protections:
4.7.1.1 Missing potential

4.7.1.2 Current Reversal
4.7.1.3 Phase sequence reversal
4.7.1.4 Missing Neutral
4.7.1.5 Reversal connection of phase and neutral
4.8.1.1 Missing potential

The meter has three phase power supply to power all electronics circuitry. This approach insures
that the meter is completely functional with single phase. This guarantee that if two phases goes
out for some reason the meter still operate and register accurately the energy consumed by the
existing phase.

If one of the phases measure negative power due to reverse connection or wrong wiring, the
kWh, kvarh and kVAh of that phase will be treated as export and accumulated in the
corresponding export register. The detection starts when the current is greater than or equal
minimum current (Refer to section 2.3).
4.8.1.3 Phase sequence reversal

The meter works accurately irrespective of the phase sequence of the supply. The digital
measuring techniques employed in the meter make it measure the energy accurately at any
phase sequence. As long as the corresponding phase voltage and phase current are maintained.
4.8.1.4 Missing Neutral

In case of neutral disconnected the meter will still operate up to 2 phases.
(For 3P3W meters phase-B is considered as reference instead of neutral)
4.8.1.5 Reversal connection of phase and neutral

In case there is a swap between the phase and neutral connection during the installation, the
Mete will not damage.
120-003215, REV 2, January 2011 44/56

4.8.2 Events logging
The meter detects & logs the date & time for occurrence & restoration for several events, up to
200 events and when the event log become full the new log will replace the oldest event. For the
following events:
• Missing potential
• Current Reversal
• Low Power Factor
• Top Cover Opened
• Time before change
• Time after change
• Invalid time
• Parameters changed
• Reset
The meter waits for 30 minutes from power-up before recording the events and there is a 10
minute delay to ensure that it is a real event, this is to avoid transient events,. (Except for the
events Top Cover Opened, Time after and before change, Invalid time, Parameters changed and
reset)
4.8.2.1 Missing Potential

The meter detects and logs the missing phase voltage less than 30V with date and time stamp.
For 3P3W meters Phase-2 acts as a reference, hence no missing detection is made for phase 2.

The detection starts when the current is greater than or equal minimum current (Refer to section
2.3).
4.8.2.3 Low Power Factor

If the total three phase power factor is less than 0.45 leading or lagging, the meter will report that
in the tampering log. The detection starts when the current is greater than or equal the minimum
current (Refer to section 2.3) and stay the delay time. Event will be closed if power factor is grater
than 0.55 leading or lagging. Also, the Meter shall only monitor this event when the power flow is
either completely import or export for all three phases.
4.8.2.4 Top Cover Opened

The meter detects and records the date and time for meter cover opened and closed.
4.8.2.5 Time before change

The meter will record the old time and date before setting the new time.
4.8.2.6 Time After change

The meter will record the new time and date after setting the new time.
120-003215, REV 2, January 2011 45/56

4.8.2.7 Invalid Time
The meter will record Invalid time events if the meter powered off and powered ON with battery
disconnected or empty. The new date and time will be the same as last meter OFF time.
4.8.2.8 Parameters changed

The meter will record any Parameters changed with date and time if the meter is configured with
any setting for the meter registers except date and time.
4.8.2.9 Reset
The meter will record the old time and date for any type of resets (Auto Reset, manual Reset and
Reset by communication).
4.9 Outage log

Power outage is logged with date and time for both occurrence and restoration. Logging will be
up to 200 events and then will roll over. Each Power off and power on is considered as two
events.
4.10 CT VT Log
Setting CT (Primary and Secondary), VT (Primary and Secondary) ratio will log the new
setting & old settings with date and time. The size of the file is 40 events and then rolls
over.
4.11 Demand Log

Setting demand method and integration time will log the new setting & old settings with
date and time. The size of the file is 20 events and then rolls over.
4.12 Load Profile Log

The meter stores the load profile for demand kW, kvar and kVA which is the output of the
Demand Calculation at the end of the integration period. The data storage capacity for load profile
is 6000 points for kW, kvar and kVA, which is equivalent to 125 days for a recording interval of 30
minutes integration period. If the load profile is full, the new data will overwrite the oldest stored
data.
Load profile reading is done through the optical port or remote reading using communication.
120-003215, REV 2, January 2011 46/56

4.13 Historical Data Recording Log
The meter keeps historical data recording in the log for the following registers:
