1.1 End Equipment

Electricity meters and Power quality meters are two popular system designs for accurate energy measurement in compliance with IEC and ANSI standards. The energy measurement is the basic functionality for both and calculates various metrology parameters. Some of the parameters are included in the following list:

  • Total and per-phase active (kWh), reactive (kvarh), and apparent energy (kVAh) with pulse-generation outputs
  • Total and per-phase active (kW), reactive (kvar), and apparent power (kVA)
  • Per-phase voltage and current root mean square (RMS)
  • Line frequency

Typical sensors used are either current transformers (CT), shunts, or Rogowski coils.

In addition, multiple power quality parameters in a polyphase energy measurement system can be also calculated, including:

  • Per-phase voltage total harmonic distortion (THD)
  • Per-phase current THD
  • Voltage phase-to-phase angle
  • Per-phase zero crossing

TIDA-010243 is a Class 0.1 high-accuracy 3-phase CT electricity meter reference design, using a single 8-channel standalone ADS131M08 ADC and cost-effective MSPM0G3507 MCU. The reference design can also be used for energy metering in popular products such as Level 2 EV chargers and AC wallboxes.
