PRODUCTION DATA
A source generator was used to provide the voltages and currents to the system. In this design, a nominal voltage of 240 V between the line and neutral, a calibration current of 10 A, and a nominal frequency of 60 Hz were used for each phase.
When the voltages and currents are applied to the system, the design outputs the cumulative active energy pulses and cumulative reactive energy pulses at a rate of 6400 pulses per kilowatt hour. This pulse output was fed into a reference meter that determined the energy percentage error based on the actual energy provided to the system and the measured energy as determined by the active and reactive energy output pulse of the system.
The current was varied from 50 mA to 100 A for the cumulative active energy error and cumulative reactive energy error testing. A phase shift of 0°, 60°, and −60° was applied between the voltage and current waveforms fed to the design for cumulative active energy testing. Based on the error from the active energy output pulse, several plots of active energy percentage error versus current were created for 0°, 60°, and –60° phase shifts. For the cumulative reactive energy error testing, a similar process was followed except that 30°, 60°, –30°, and –60° phase shifts were used, and the cumulative reactive energy error was plotted instead of the cumulative active energy error. In the cumulative active and reactive energy testing, the sum of the energy reading of each phase was tested for accuracy.
In addition to testing active energy by varying current, active energy was also tested by varying the RMS voltage from 240 V to 15 V and measuring the active energy percentage error.
The front-end was calibrated before obtaining the following results. The active energy results are within 0.1% at 0° phase shift. At 60° and –60° phase shift, which is allowed to have relaxed accuracy in electricity meter standards, the trend where the results deviate at higher currents is from the CT phase shift varying across current.
Table 9-3 shows the cumulative active energy accuracy results with changing voltage. Table 9-4 shows the cumulative active energy results with varying current. Figure 9-8 depicts a plot of the values in Table 9-4.
