CHAPTER 1

AC POWER MEASUREMENT

The economics of electric power distribution networking dictate several configurations of AC power transmission. The number of phases and voltage levels characterize these configurations.

1.1: Single Phase System

SINGLE PHASE SYSTEM: A basic two-wire system used in low power distribution applications, such as residential communities or offices. Typically, the voltage is 120V AC. For higher power requirements, such as residential houses or small commercial facilities, the typical power configuration is two lines of

120V AC opposite in phase (see Figure 1.1 B, below).

This system produces 120 volts from line to neutral for lighting and small appliance use. The line to line voltage is 240V AC, used for higher loads such as water heaters, electric dryers, ranges, and machinery.

Figure 1.1: Single Phase System: (A) Two Wire, (B) Three Wire

The power (W) in a single phase system is: W = E • I • cos

Θ

E = potential, I = current, and cos

Θ = phase difference between the potential and the current.

Power in a 120/240V AC system is: W = (E

Line 1

• I

Line 1

• cos

Θ

) + (E

Line 2

• I

Line 2

• cos

)

Phase differential between the potential and the current results from a non-resistive load, either reactive or capacitive.

Reactive power (VAR): The additional power consumed that does not produce any work but must be delivered to the load:

VAR = E

I

⋅ s

in

Θ

. This is a measure of the inefficiency of the electrical system.

Apparent power (VA): The total power delivered to the load, and the vector sum of real power and reactive power.

Figure 1.2: Apparent, Real and Reactive power

Ideal power distribution should have a PF of 1. This condition can be met only if no reactive power loads exist. In real life applications, many loads are inductive loads. Often, corrective capacitors are installed to correct Poor Power Factor.

1.2: Three-Phase System

A three-phase system delivers higher levels of power for industrial and commercial applications; the three phases correspond to three potential lines. A 120° phase shift exists between the three potential lines.

A typical configuration has either a Delta connection or a Wye connection (see Figure 1.3, below).

In a three phase system, the voltage levels between the phases and the neutral are uniform and defined by:

3DWA300 Chapter 1: AC Power Measurement

Voltages between the phases vary depending on loading factors and the quality of distribution transformers. The three phase system is distributed in different voltage levels: 208V AC, 480V AC, 2400V

AC, 4160V AC, 6900V AC, 13800V AC, and so on.

Power measurement in a poly phase system is governed by Blondel's Theorem. Blondel’s Theorem states that in a power distribution network that has N conductors, the number of measurement elements required to determine power is N-1. A typical configuration of poly phase system has either a Delta connection or a Wye connection (see Figure 1.4, below).

1.3: Consumption, Demand and Poor Power Factor

CONSUMPTION:

WH = W · T

W = instantaneous power T = time in hours

The total electric energy usage over a time period is the consumption WH.

Typically, the unit in which consumption is specified is the kilowatt-hour (KWH): one thousand watts consumed over one hour. Utilities use the WH equation to determine the overall consumption in a billing period.

DEMAND: Average energy consumed over a specified time interval. The interval is determined by the utility, typically, 15 or 30 minutes. The utility measures the maximum demand over a billing period.

This measurement exhibits a deviation from average consumption causing the utility to provide generating capacity to satisfy a high maximum consumption demand. The highest average demand is retained in the metering system until the demand level is reset.

POOR POWER FACTOR: Results in reactive power consumption. Transferring reactive power over a distribution network causes energy loss. To force consumers to correct their Power Factor, utilities monitor reactive power consumption and penalize the user for poor power factor.

1.4: Waveform and Harmonics

Ideal power distribution has sinusoidal waveforms on voltages and currents. In real life applications, where inverters, computers, and motor controls are used, distorted waveforms are generated. These distortions consist of harmonics of the fundamental frequency.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

3.1: Important Considerations When Installing Meters

Please read the following sections carefully for important safety information regarding installation and hookup of the meter.

This meter is rated as “permanently installed equipment” and must be installed in non-accessible areas only, e.g. control panels, switchgear enclosures, etc.

Installation of the meter must be performed only by qualified personnel who follow standard safety precautions during all procedures. Those personnel should have appropriate training and experience with high voltage devices. Appropriate safety gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing are recommended.

During normal operation of the meter, dangerous voltages flow through many parts of the meter, including: Terminals and any connected CTs (Current Transformers) and PTs (Potential

Transformers), all I/O Modules (Inputs and Outputs) and their circuits. All Primary and Secondary circuits can, at times, produce lethal voltages and currents. Avoid contact with any currentcarrying surfaces.

Do not use the meter for primary protection or in an energy-limiting capacity. The meter can only be used as secondary protection. Do not use the meter for applications where failure of the meter may cause harm or death. Do not use the meter for any application where there may be a risk of fire.

All meter terminals should be inaccessible after installation.

Do not apply more than the maximum voltage the meter or any attached device can withstand.

Refer to meter and/or device labels and to the Specifications for all devices before applying voltages. Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test any Outputs, Inputs or Communications terminals.

EIG recommends the use of Shorting Blocks and Fuses for voltage leads and power supply to prevent hazardous voltage conditions or damage to CTs, if the meter needs to be removed from service. CT grounding is optional.

The UL Measurement Category of the meter is Category III, Pollution Degree II.

Refer to additional safety notes on the next page.

WARNING: DO NOT leave secondary of CT open when primary current is flowing. This may cause

high voltage, which will overheat the CT. If the CT is not connected, provide a shorting block on the secondary of the CT.

10 Electro Industries/GaugeTech

3DWA300 Chapter 3: Electrical Installation

3.3: CT Connection

When the meter is connected using the CTs, you must maintain the correct CT polarities. CT polarities are dependent upon correct connections of CT leads, and upon the direction the CTs are facing when clamped around conductors. The dot on the CT must face the line side; the corresponding secondary connection must connect to the appropriate input on the meter. Failure to connect CTs properly results in inaccurate power readings. If your meter is not reading power properly, it is more than likely the CT is incorrectly wired.

Note: CTs are shorted if connected to the terminal block model DSP2 or 3, even if it is detached

from the meter.

EVERSAL POWER READING

If your meter does not read the correct watts after installation, it almost always means that the CT’s have been wired in the wrong polarity. To check the polarity of the CT after the monitor has been installed, look at the single phase WATT readings to see that each of the readings are positive (assuming you are consuming power). If one of the WATT readings is negative, that particular phase CT is reversed.

To check the single phase WATT reading, press the Power button twice while the annunciator is positioned to WATTS. Then press the Phase/Next button to cycle through the phases. After connecting the polarity of the CTs, the WATT and VAR readings should be correct.

Connect terminal number 7 potential. If KW is one-third of expected reading, reverse CT wires to

terminals 12 and 13.

3.4: Connecting the Voltage Circuit

For proper meter operation, the voltage connection must be maintained. The voltage must correspond to the correct terminal.

The cable required to terminate the voltage sense circuit should have an insulation rating greater than

600V AC and a current rating greater than 0.1 A.

3.5: Selecting the Voltage Fuses

We strongly recommend using fuses on each of the sense voltages and the control power, although connection diagrams do not show them. Use a 1 Amp fuse on each voltage input.

Note: For DC-powered units, polarity should be observed. Connect the negative terminal to L and positive terminal to L1. An earth ground connection to chassis is mandatory for normal operation (terminal three). Do not ground the unit through the negative of the DC supply.

Note: Externally fuse power supply with a slow-blow 3 Amp fuse.

3.7: Electrical Connection Installation

Choose the diagram that best suits your application and maintain the CT polarity. Follow the outlined procedure to verify correct connection. IMPORTANT: For PT connections only, short terminals 3 and 4.

Connect local ground to terminal 3. This protects the unit from spikes and transients.

• The meter and terminal module DSP3 are factory calibrated together; the serial numbers are matched

on both. The DSP3 input module and the meter base MUST MATCH!

• Mismatching of the meter and DSP3 input module will cause inaccurate readings because calibration

ratios are stored in the meter’s memory, not in the DSP3 input module.

3.7: Relays and Protection

Note: This section applies only to the -NL Relay Option.

The 3DWA's flexibility allows the user to access a variety of relay options through the Programming Mode

(see Chapter 7, section 7.5). The relay option package consists of two relays with two contacts, one normally open and one normally closed. The relays can be either dedicated to alarm, or communication controlled, or both.

The time delay is used to set an alarm, alerting the user when an out-of-limit condition has been sustained beyond the user-defined time limit. The time delay can be programmed for up to 9999 seconds.

If the relays are controlled through communication, there are two different modes:

• Lock ON: Relay will not be affected by any alarm condition.

• Lock OFF: Relay will not be affected by any alarm condition.

16 Electro Industries/GaugeTech

3DWA300 Chapter 3: Electrical Installation

If the relays are controlled through communication and dedicated to alarm, there are four different

modes:

• Lock ON

Relay stays on regardless of any alarm condition.

• Lock OFF Relay stays off regardless of any alarm condition.

• Free ON

Relay turns on unless other conditions force it off.

• Free OFF Relay turns off unless other conditions force it on.

CHAPTER 4

COMMUNICATION INSTALLATION

All 3DWA instruments can be equipped for RS232C or RS485 communication.

4.1: RS232C

RS232C communication is used to link a single 3DWA instrument with a computer or device such as RTU or PLC. The link is capable for a distance up to 100 feet. A standard 9-pin female serial port allows direct connection to a computer with a 9-pin cable.

4.2: RS485

Each 3DWA instrument has a unique address up to four digits long. This allows the user to communicate with up to 10,000 instruments. Available standard baud rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600. To select the proper baud rate, apply the following rules:

The unit operates up to 9600 baud. For a smaller number of instruments over a long distance, use a lower baud rate. Optimal recommended baud rate is 1200 baud if noisy conditions exist.

RS485 parallels multiple instruments on the same link. Its operating capability is up to 4000 feet. The link can include up to 60 instruments.

Note: 4-wire RS485 is strongly recommended because it provides cleaner communication and is

less susceptible to noise interference. It is important to shield the communication wire and ground it at one end. Grounding at both ends causes a ground loop and results in noise problems.

Connecting 4-Wire BUS to RS485 Port:

• Connect the T- wire of the Unicom 2500 to the R- on the RS485 port

• Connect the R- wire of the Unicom 2500 to the T- on the RS485 port

4.3: Network of Instruments and Long Distance Communication

Use the RS485 Transponder for a large instrument network. In a two-wire connection, a maximum of 900 instruments can be included in the same network (Figure 4.4). In a four-wire connection, a maximum of

3600 instruments can be included in the same link (Figure 4.2).

You may want to use a Modem Manager RS485-RS232 Converter. When speaking to most RS485 or

RS232C based devices, the remote modem must be programmed for the communication to work. This task is often quite complicated because modems are quirky when talking to remote devices. To make this task easier, EIG has designed a Modem Manager RS485 to RS232C converter. This device automatically programs the modem to the proper configuration. Also, if you have poor telephone lines, modem manager acts as a line buffer, making the communication more reliable. Use modems (dedicated or dial-up) when the instruments are at great distances. However, set the modem to auto-answer at the recommended 1200 baud rate if noise conditions exist.

6.3: Programming GROUPS and FUNCTIONS

Programming tasks are bundled into GROUPS. Located within each GROUP are specific meter

FUNCTIONS. See the Table of Contents and individual chapters for descriptions of the tasks performed by each GROUP.

Some FUNCTIONS are further divided into SWITCH PACKS, which are a set of separate ON/OFF toggle switches. Toggle switches have only two positions: either UP segment or DOWN segment. By setting the segment to UP or DOWN, a particular feature is turned ON or OFF, respectively.

7.3: Group 0, Function 2—Communication Baud Rate

The Baud Rate is the speed at which data is transmitted between monitor and remote communications.

The rate programmed into the meter must match the rate used by the remote device. Valid Baud Rates are: 1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600.

Note: For data entry purposes the last zero for each rate is dropped off. Leading zero's must be included. For example: to enter a Baud Rate of 2400, enter 0240. Remember, the last zero is a blank. See Table 7-2, below, for the Baud Rates and their corresponding Baud Rate

Numbers.

7.5: Group 0, Functions 4–5—Time Delay for Relays 1 and 2 (Option-NL)

The 3DWA300can be equipped with a relay option. Two relays are included in this option. The relays can be used in computer-controlled or dedicated alarm options. Function 4 is used to set Relay 1; Function 5 is used to set Relay 2.

Computer Controlled: The relays can be locked or unlocked through a computer (the 3DWA300 must have a communication option).

Dedicated Alarm: The relays can be locked or unlocked using the meter’s keypad or its measured inputs.

The computer cannot change the state of the relay.

The time delay for Relays 1 and 2 can be set from 0–255 seconds. This allows conditions to exist for a user-specified period of time before the relay or alarm activates. If a time greater than 255 seconds is entered, the meter defaults to the maximum value of 255 seconds.

8.2: Group 1, Function 2: Scale Selection & Decimal Point Placement for

Kilowatts/Megawatts

Programming GROUP 1 also provides decimal point positioning for maximum resolution. The following aids in selecting the best decimal position for Function 2.

Example 1:

Full Scale Voltage (FSV)=120 V

Full Scale Amperage (FSA)=5.00 A

Full Scale Wattage (FSW) is the product of FSV and FSA. For the FSW for three phases multiply the

FSW by 3.

FSW (one phase) =120 Vx5.00 A

FSW (one phase)=600 W

FSW (three phase)=600 Wx3 = 1,800 W

Here the FSW is too small a value for a Megawatt meter. FSW in the Kilowatt meter equals 1.800 KW. In

FUNCTION 2, place the decimal point after the first digit.

Example 2:

FSV=480 V

FSA=1000 A

FSW (one phase)=480 Vx1000 A

FSW (one phase=480,000 W

Electro Industries/GaugeTech

47

Chapter 8: Scale Settings 3DWA300

FSW (three phase)=480,000 Wx3 = 1,440,000 W

FSW for Kilowatt a meter equals 1440.KW. FSW for a Megawatt meter equals 1.440 MW. In FUNCTION

2 place the decimal point after the last digit for a Kilowatt meter and after the first digit for a Megawatt meter.

Example 3:

FSV=1.440 KV

FSA=1000 A

FSW (one phase)=1440 Vx1000 A

FSW (one phase)=1,440,000 W

FSW (three phase)=1,440,000 Wx3 = 4,320,000 W

FSW for a Kilowatt meter equals 4320 KW. Here the FSW is too large a value for a Kilowatt meter (the range is 000–1999). FSW for a Megawatt meter equals 04.32 MW. In FUNCTION 2, place the decimal point after the second digit.

CHAPTER 9

PROGRAMMING GROUP 2—METER CALIBRATION

WARNING—READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING:

Any rescaling, such as a change in a transformer ratio, can be accomplished in GROUP 1. Calibration is not necessary.

Meter calibration cannot be performed if the meter is installed for service. The sensing inputs must be connected to a power supply with variable voltage and separate current outputs.

The calibration procedure requires highly accurate and stable input signals. Incorrect readings result from improper calibration procedures. If unsure, return unit to EIG for calibration.

BEFORE calibrating any channel, make a note of its Full Scale Setting (See Chapter 8). Set the Full Scale in accordance with Table 9-2 for calibration. Restore original Full Scale Setting when calibration is completed.

The first function in GROUP 2 (STD.CORR) is NOT to be changed by the user. Please make a note of the value here [___________] before using any other function in this group. If the STD.CORR value is inadvertently lost or changed, contact EIG for assistance.

In general, a significant drift in calibration is unlikely. Therefore, a yearly re-calibration of the meter is not required.

9.1: Calibration Requirements

FUNCTIONS 0–8 (High and Low End Calibration) can be calibrated by qualified site technicians if a stable calibration source can be applied.

Calibration on the 3DWA300 requires precise inputs of 120 Volts, 5 Amps, and 2.5 Amps. The 3DWA300-

G model requires precise inputs of 300 Volts, 5 Amps, and 2.5 Amps. If this equipment is unavailable, contact EIG for assistance.
