What is a Power Meter?
A power meter is a multifunction, digital instrumentation, data acquisition and control
device. It can replace a variety of meters, relays, transducers, and other components. This
power meter is equipped with RS485 communications for integration into any power
monitoring/control system and can be installed at multiple locations within a facility.
These are true rms meters, capable of exceptionally accurate measurement of highly
non-linear loads. A sophisticated sampling technique enables accurate measurements
➀
through the 63rd harmonic . You can view over 50 metered values, plus minimum and
the readings available from the power meter.

Min/Max Values for Real-time Readings
When certain one-second real-time readings reach their highest or lowest value, the power
meter saves the values in its non-volatile memory. These values are called the minimum
and maximum (min/max) values.
The power meter stores the min/max values for the current month and previous month.
After the end of each month, the power meter moves the current month’s min/max values
into the previous month’s register space and resets the current month’s min/max values.
The current month’s min/max values can be reset manually at any time using the power
meter display or PowerLogic software. After the min/max values are reset, the power meter
records the date and time. The real-time readings evaluated are:

NOTE: Phase of recorded min/max only applies to multi-phase quantities.
NOTE: There are two ways to view the min/max values. 1- Use the power meter display to
view the min/max values since the meter was last reset. 2- Use PowerLogic software to
view a table with the instantaneous min/max values for the current and previous months.
Power Factor Min/Max Conventions
All running min/max values, except for power factor, are arithmetic minimum and maximum
values. For example, the minimum phase A-B voltage is the lowest value in the range 0 to
1200 kV that has occurred since the min/max values were last reset. In contrast, because
the power factor’s midpoint is unity (equal to one), the power factor min/max values are not
true arithmetic minimums and maximums. Instead, the minimum value represents the
measurement closest to -0 on a continuous scale for all real-time readings -0 to 1.00 to +0.
The maximum value is the measurement closest to +0 on the same scale.
Figure 4–1 shows the min/max values in a typical environment in which a positive power
flow is assumed. In the figure, the minimum power factor is -0.7 (lagging) and the maximum
is 0.8 (leading). Note that the minimum power factor need not be lagging, and the maximum
power factor need not be leading. For example, if the power factor values ranged from
-0.75 to -0.95, then the minimum power factor would be -0.75 (lagging) and the maximum
power factor would be -0.95 (lagging). Both would be negative. Likewise, if the power factor
ranged from +0.9 to +0.95, the minimum would be +0.95 (leading) and the maximum would
be +0.90 (leading). Both would be positive in this case.

Demand Power Calculation Methods
Demand power is the energy accumulated during a specified period divided by the length of
that period. How the power meter performs this calculation depends on the method you
select. To be compatible with electric utility billing practices, the power meter provides the
following types of demand power calculations:
•
•
•
Block Interval Demand
Synchronized Demand
Thermal Demand
The default demand calculation is set to sliding block with a 15 minute interval. You can set
up any of the demand power calculation methods using PowerLogic software.

Chapter 4—Metering Capabilities
Block Interval Demand
In the block interval demand method, you select a “block” of time that the power meter uses
for the demand calculation. You choose how the power meter handles that block of time
(interval). Three different modes are possible:
•
Sliding Block. In the sliding block interval, you select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes
(in 1-minute increments). If the interval is between 1 and 15 minutes, the demand
calculation updates every 15 seconds. If the interval is between 16 and 60 minutes, the
demand calculation updates every 60 seconds. The power meter displays the demand
value for the last completed interval.
•
•
Fixed Block. In the fixed block interval, you select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in
1-minute increments). The power meter calculates and updates the demand at the end
of each interval.
Rolling Block. In the rolling block interval, you select an interval and a sub-interval.
The sub-interval must divide evenly into the interval. For example, you might set three
5-minute sub-intervals for a 15-minute interval. Demand is updated at each sub-
interval. The power meter displays the demand value for the last completed interval.
Figure 4–4 below illustrates the three ways to calculate demand power using the block
method. For illustration purposes, the interval is set to 15 minutes.

Synchronized Demand
The demand calculations can be synchronized by accepting an external pulse input, a
command sent over communications, or by synchronizing to the internal real-time clock.
•
Input Synchronized Demand. You can set up the power meter to accept an input such
as a demand synch pulse from an external source. The power meter then uses the
same time interval as the other meter for each demand calculation. You can use the
standard digital input installed on the meter to receive the synch pulse. When setting up
this type of demand, you select whether it will be input-synchronized block or input-
synchronized rolling block demand. The rolling block demand requires that you choose
a sub-interval.
•
Command Synchronized Demand. Using command synchronized demand, you can
synchronize the demand intervals of multiple meters on a communications network. For
example, if a PLC input is monitoring a pulse at the end of a demand interval on a utility
revenue meter, you could program the PLC to issue a command to multiple meters
whenever the utility meter starts a new demand interval. Each time the command is
issued, the demand readings of each meter are calculated for the same interval. When
setting up this type of demand, you select whether it will be command-synchronized
block or command-synchronized rolling block demand. The rolling block demand
requires that you choose a sub-interval. See Appendix C—Using the Command
•
Clock Synchronized Demand (Requires PM810LOG). You can synchronize the
demand interval to the internal real-time clock in the power meter. This enables you to
synchronize the demand to a particular time, typically on the hour. The default time is
12:00 am. If you select another time of day when the demand intervals are to be
synchronized, the time must be in minutes from midnight. For example, to synchronize
at 8:00 am, select 480 minutes. When setting up this type of demand, you select
whether it will be clock-synchronized block or clock-synchronized rolling block demand.
The rolling block demand requires that you choose a sub-interval.
Thermal Demand
The thermal demand method calculates the demand based on a thermal response, which
mimics thermal demand meters. The demand calculation updates at the end of each
interval. You select the demand interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). In
Figure 4–5 the interval is set to 15 minutes for illustration purposes.

Predicted Demand
The power meter calculates predicted demand for the end of the present interval for kW,
kVAR, and kVA demand. This prediction takes into account the energy consumption thus
far within the present (partial) interval and the present rate of consumption. The prediction
is updated every second.
Figure 4–6 illustrates how a change in load can affect predicted demand for the interval.

Peak Demand
In non-volatile memory, the power meter maintains a running maximum for the kWD,
kVARD, and kVAD power values, called “peak demand.” The peak for each value is the
highest average reading since the meter was last reset. The power meter also stores the
date and time when the peak demand occurred. In addition to the peak demand, the power
meter also stores the coinciding average 3-phase power factor. The average 3-phase
power factor is defined as “demand kW/demand kVA” for the peak demand interval.
Table 4–2 on page 30 lists the available peak demand readings from the power meter.
You can reset peak demand values from the power meter display. From the Main Menu,
select MAINT > RESET > DMD. You can also reset the values over the communications
link by using software.
NOTE: You should reset peak demand after changes to basic meter setup, such as CT
ratio or system type.
The power meter also stores the peak demand during the last incremental energy interval.
See “Energy Readings” on page 35 for more about incremental energy readings.
Generic Demand
The power meter can perform any of the demand calculation methods, described earlier in
this chapter, on up to 10 quantities that you choose using PowerLogic software. For generic
demand, do the following:
•
•
Select the demand calculation method (thermal, block interval, or synchronized).
Select the demand interval (from 5–60 minutes in 1–minute increments) and select
the demand sub-interval (if applicable).
•
Select the quantities on which to perform the demand calculation. You must also
select the units and scale factor for each quantity.
For each quantity in the demand profile, the power meter stores four values:
•
•
•
•
Partial interval demand value
Last completed demand interval value
Minimum values (date and time for each is also stored)
Peak demand value (date and time for each is also stored)

You can reset the minimum and peak values of the quantities in a generic demand profile
by using one of two methods:
•
•
Use PowerLogic software, or
Use the command interface.
Command 5115 resets the generic demand profile. See Appendix C—Using the
Input Metering Demand
The power meter has five input pulse metering channels, but only one digital input. Digital
inputs can be added by installing one or more option modules (PM8M22, PM8M26, or
PM8M2222). The input pulse metering channels count pulses received from one or more
digital inputs assigned to that channel. Each channel requires a consumption pulse weight,
consumption scale factor, demand pulse weight, and demand scale factor. The
consumption pulse weight is the number of watt-hours or kilowatt-hours per pulse. The
consumption scale factor is a factor of 10 multiplier that determines the format of the value.
For example, if each incoming pulse represents 125 Wh, and you want consumption data in
watt-hours, the consumption pulse weight is 125 and the consumption scale factor is zero.
0
The resulting calculation is 125 x 10 , which equals 125 watt-hours per pulse. If you want
-3
the consumption data in kilowatt-hours, the calculation is 125 x 10 , which equals 0.125
kilowatt-hours per pulse.Time must be taken into account for demand data; so you begin by
calculating demand pulse weight using the following formula:
watt-hours 3600 seconds
pulse
second
--------------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------
watts =
pulse
hour
If each incoming pulse represents 125 Wh, using the formula above you get 450,000 watts.
If you want demand data in watts, the demand pulse weight is 450 and the demand scale
3
factor is three. The calculation is 450 x 10 , which equals 450,000 watts. If you want the
0
demand data in kilowatts, the calculation is 450 x 10 , which equals 450 kilowatts.
NOTE: The power meter counts each input transition as a pulse. Therefore, an input
transition of OFF-to-ON and ON-to-OFF will be counted as two pulses. For each channel,
the power meter maintains the following information:
•
•
•
•
Total consumption
Last completed interval demand—calculated demand for the last completed interval.
Partial interval demand—demand calculation up to the present point during the interval.
Peak demand—highest demand value since the last reset of the input pulse demand.
The date and time of the peak demand is also saved.
•
Minimum demand—lowest demand value since the last reset of the input pulse
demand. The date and time of the minimum demand is also saved.
To use the channels feature, first use the display to set up the digital inputs (see “I/O
(Input/Output) Setup” on page 18). Then using PowerLogic software, you must set the I/O
operating mode to Normal and set up the channels. The demand method and interval that
you select applies to all channels.

modes: signed or unsigned (absolute). In signed mode, the power meter considers the
direction of power flow, allowing the magnitude of accumulated energy to increase and
decrease. In unsigned mode, the power meter accumulates energy as a positive value,
regardless of the direction of power flow. In other words, the energy value increases, even
during reverse power flow. The default accumulation mode is unsigned.
You can view accumulated energy from the display. The resolution of the energy value will
automatically change through the range of 000.000 kWh to 000,000 MWh (000.000 kVAh
to 000,000 MVARh), or it can be fixed. See Appendix C—Using the Command Interface
on page 83 for the contents of the registers.
For conditional accumulated energy readings, you can set the real, reactive, and apparent
energy accumulation to OFF or ON when a particular condition occurs. You can do this over
the communications link using a command, or from a digital input change. For example,
you may want to track accumulated energy values during a particular process that is
controlled by a PLC. The power meter stores the date and time of the last reset of
conditional energy in non-volatile memory.

THD. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a quick measure of the total distortion present
in a waveform and is the ratio of harmonic content to the fundamental. It provides a
general indication of the “quality” of a waveform. THD is calculated for both voltage and
current. The power meter uses the following equation to calculate THD, where H is the
harmonic distortion:

Displacement Power Factor. Power factor (PF) represents the degree to which
voltage and current coming into a load are out of phase. Displacement power factor is
based on the angle between the fundamental components of current and voltage.
Harmonic Values. Harmonics can reduce the capacity of the power system. The power
meter determines the individual per-phase harmonic magnitudes and angles for all
currents and voltages through the:
— 31st harmonic (PM810 with PM810Log, and PM820) or
— 63rd harmonic (PM850, PM870)
The harmonic magnitudes can be formatted as either a percentage of the fundamental
(default), a percentage of the rms value, or the actual rms value. Refer to “Operation
with PQ Advanced Enabled” on page 99 for information on how to configure harmonic
calculations.

Digital Inputs
The power meter includes one solid-state digital input. A digital input is used to detect
digital signals. For example, the digital input can be used to determine circuit breaker
status, count pulses, or count motor starts. The digital input can also be associated with an
external relay. You can log digital input transitions as events in the power meter’s on-board
alarm log. The event is date and time stamped with resolution to the second. The power
meter counts OFF-to-ON transitions for each input. You can view the count for each input
using the Digital Inputs screen, and you can reset this value using the command interface.
Figure 5–1 is an example of the Digital Inputs screen.

The digital input has three operating modes:
•
Normal—Use the normal mode for simple on/off digital inputs. In normal mode, digital
inputs can be used to count KY pulses for demand and energy calculation.
•
Demand Interval Synch Pulse—you can configure any digital input to accept a
demand synch pulse from a utility demand meter (see “Demand Synch Pulse Input” on
page 40 of this chapter for more about this topic). For each demand profile, you can
designate only one input as a demand synch input.
•
Conditional Energy Control—you can configure one digital input to control conditional
4—Metering Capabilities for more about conditional energy).
NOTE: By default, the digital input is named DIG IN S02 and is set up for normal mode.
For custom setup, use PowerLogic software to define the name and operating mode of the
digital input. The name is a 16-character label that identifies the digital input. The operating
mode is one of those listed above.

Demand Synch Pulse Input
You can configure the power meter to accept a demand synch pulse from an external
source, such as another demand meter. By accepting demand synch pulses through a
digital input, the power meter can make its demand interval “window” match the other
meter’s demand interval “window.” The power meter does this by “watching” the digital
input for a pulse from the other demand meter. When it sees a pulse, it starts a new
demand interval and calculates the demand for the preceding interval. The power meter
then uses the same time interval as the other meter for each demand calculation. Figure
Capabilities for more about demand calculations.
When in demand synch pulse operating mode, the power meter will not start or stop a
demand interval without a pulse. The maximum allowable time between pulses is 60
minutes. If 66 minutes (110% of the demand interval) pass before a synch pulse is
received, the power meter throws out the demand calculations and begins a new
calculation when the next pulse is received. Once in synch with the billing meter, the power
meter can be used to verify peak demand charges.
Important facts about the power meter’s demand synch feature are listed below:
•
•
Any installed digital input can be set to accept a demand synch pulse.
Each system can choose whether to use an external synch pulse, but only one demand
synch pulse can be brought into the meter for each demand system. One input can be
used to synchronize any combination of the demand systems.
•
The demand synch feature can be set up using PowerLogic software.

Relay Output Operating Modes
The relay output defaults to external control, but you can choose whether the relay is set to
external or internal control:
•
External (remote) control—the relay is controlled either from a PC using PowerLogic
software or a programmable logic controller using commands via communications.
•
Power meter alarm (internal) control—the relay is controlled by the power meter in
response to a set-point controlled alarm condition, or as a pulse initiator output. Once
you’ve set up a relay for power meter control, you can no longer operate the relay
remotely. However, you can temporarily override the relay, using PowerLogic software.
NOTE: If any basic setup parameters or I/O setup parameters are modified, all relay
outputs will be de-energized.
The 11 relay operating modes are as follows:
•
Normal
— Externally Controlled: Energize the relay by issuing a command from a remote PC
or programmable controller. The relay remains energized until a command to de-
energize is issued from the remote PC or programmable controller, or until the

power meter loses control power. When control power is restored, the relay is not
automatically re-energized.
— Power Meter Alarm: When an alarm condition assigned to the relay occurs, the
relay is energized. The relay is not de-energized until all alarm conditions assigned
to the relay have dropped out, the power meter loses control power, or the alarms
are over-ridden using PowerLogic software. If the alarm condition is still true when
the power meter regains control power, the relay will be re-energized.
•
Latched
— Remotely Controlled: Energize the relay by issuing a command from a remote PC
or programmable controller. The relay remains energized until a command to de-
energize is issued from a remote PC or programmable controller, or until the power
meter loses control power. When control power is restored, the relay will not be re-
energized.
— Power Meter Controlled: When an alarm condition assigned to the relay occurs,
the relay is energized. The relay remains energized—even after all alarm conditions
assigned to the relay have dropped out—until a command to de-energize is issued
from a remote PC or programmable controller, until the high priority alarm log is
cleared from the display, or until the power meter loses control power. When control
power is restored, the relay will not be re-energized if the alarm condition is not
TRUE.
•
Timed
— Remotely Controlled: Energize the relay by issuing a command from a remote PC
or programmable controller. The relay remains energized until the timer expires, or
until the power meter loses control power. If a new command to energize the relay is
issued before the timer expires, the timer restarts. If the power meter loses control
power, the relay will not be re-energized when control power is restored and the
timer will reset to zero.
— Power Meter Controlled: When an alarm condition assigned to the relay occurs, the
relay is energized. The relay remains energized for the duration of the timer. When
the timer expires, the relay will de-energize and remain de-energized. If the relay is
on and the power meter loses control power, the relay will not be re-energized when
control power is restored and the timer will reset to zero.

•
End Of Power Demand Interval
This mode assigns the relay to operate as a synch pulse to another device. The output
operates in timed mode using the timer setting and turns on at the end of a power
demand interval. It turns off when the timer expires.
Absolute kWh Pulse
This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number
of kWh per pulse. In this mode, both forward and reverse real energy are treated as
additive (as in a tie circuit breaker).
Absolute kVARh Pulse
This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number
of kVARh per pulse. In this mode, both forward and reverse reactive energy are treated
as additive (as in a tie circuit breaker).
•
•
•
kVAh Pulse
This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number
of kVAh per pulse. Since kVA has no sign, the kVAh pulse has only one mode.
kWh In Pulse
This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number
of kWh per pulse. In this mode, only the kWh flowing into the load is considered.
kVARh In Pulse
This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number
of kVARh per pulse. In this mode, only the kVARh flowing into the load is considered.

The last seven modes in the list above are for pulse initiator applications. All Series 800
Power Meters are equipped with one solid-state KY pulse output rated at 100 mA. The
solid-state KY output provides the long life—billions of operations—required for pulse
initiator applications.
The KY output is factory configured with Name = KY, Mode = Normal, and Control =
(Input/Output) Setup” on page 18. Then using PowerLogic software, you must define the
following values for each mechanical relay output:
•
•
•
Name—A 16-character label used to identify the digital output.
Mode—Select one of the operating modes listed above.
Pulse Weight—You must set the pulse weight, the multiplier of the unit being
measured, if you select any of the pulse modes (last 7 listed above).
•
•
Timer—You must set the timer if you select the timed mode or end of power demand
interval mode (in seconds).
Control—You must set the relay to be controlled either remotely or internally (from the
power meter) if you select the normal, latched, or timed mode.
For instructions on setting up digital I/Os using software, see your software documentation
or help file.
Solid-state KY Pulse Output
This section describes the pulse output capabilities of the power meter. For instructions on
wiring the KY pulse output, see “Wiring the Solid-State KY Output” in the installation guide.
The power meter’s digital output is generated by a solid-state device that can be used as a
KY pulse output. This solid-state relay provides the extremely long life—billions of
operations—required for pulse initiator applications.
The KY output is a Form-A contact with a maximum rating of 100 mA. Because most pulse
initiator applications feed solid-state receivers with low burdens, this 100 mA rating is
adequate for most applications.
When setting the kWh/pulse value, set the value based on a 2-wire pulse output. For
instructions on calculating the correct value, see “Calculating the Kilowatthour-Per-Pulse
Value” on page 43 in this chapter.
The KY pulse output can be configured to operate in one of 11 operating modes. See
“Relay Output Operating Modes” on page 40 for a description of the modes.

Calculating the Kilowatthour-Per-Pulse Value
The following example illustrates how to calculate kilowatthours per pulse (pulse weight).
To calculate this value, first determine the highest kW value you can expect and the
required pulse rate. Remember the maximum number of pulses is 8 per second.
In this example, the following conditions are set:
•
•
The metered load should not exceed 1600 kW.
About two KY pulses per second should normally occur. (If a higher load is reached, the
number of pulses per second can increase and still stay within the set limits.)
Step 1: Convert 1600 kW load into kWh/second.
(1600 kW)(1 Hr) = 1600 kWh

Analog Inputs
With a PM8M2222 option module installed, a power meter can accept either voltage or
current signals through the analog inputs on the option module. The power meter stores a
minimum and a maximum value for each analog input.
For technical specifications and instructions on installing and configuring the analog inputs
on the PM8M2222, refer to the instruction bulletin (63230-502-200) that ships with the
option module. To set up an analog input, you must first set it up from the display. From the
SUMMARY screen, select MAINT > SETUP > I/O, then select the appropriate analog input
option. Then, in PowerLogic software, define the following values for each analog input:
•
•
•
•
Name—a 16-character label used to identify the analog input.
Units—the units of the monitored analog value (for example, “psi”).
Scale factor—multiplies the units by this value (such as tenths or hundredths).
Report Range Lower Limit—the value the Power Meter reports when the input
reaches a minimum value. When the input current is below the lowest valid reading, the
Power Meter reports the lower limit.
•
Report Range Upper Limit—the value the power meter reports when the input
reaches the maximum value. When the input current is above highest valid reading, the
Power Meter reports the upper limit.
For instructions on setting up analog inputs using software, see your software
documentation or Help file.
Analog Outputs
This section describes the analog output capabilities when a PM8M2222 is installed on the
Power Meter. For technical specifications and instructions on installing and configuring the
analog outputs on the PM8M2222, refer to the instruction bulletin (63230-502-200) that
ships with the option module.
To set up an analog output, you must first set it up from the display. From the SUMMARY
screen, select MAINT > SETUP > I/O, then select the appropriate analog output option.
Then, in PowerLogic software, define the following values for each analog input
•
Name—a 16-character label used to identify the output. Default names are assigned,
but can be customized
•
•
Output register—the Power Meter register assigned to the analog output.
Lower Limit—the value equivalent to the minimum output current. When the register
value is below the lower limit, the Power Meter outputs the minimum output current.
•
Upper Limit—the value equivalent to the maximum output current. When the register
value is above the upper limit, the Power Meter outputs the maximum output current.
For instructions on setting up an analog output using software, see your software

This section describes the alarm features on all Series 800 Power Meters. For information
Basic Alarms
The power meter can detect over 50 alarm conditions, including over or under conditions,
digital input changes, phase unbalance conditions, and more. It also maintains a counter
for each alarm to keep track of the total number of occurrences. A complete list of default
up your own custom alarms after installing an input/output module (PM8M22, PM8M26, or
PM8M2222).
When one or more alarm conditions are true, the power meter will execute a task
automatically. When an alarm is active, the !alarm icon appears in the upper-right corner
of the power meter display. If a PM810LOG is installed on a PM810, PowerLogic software
can be used to set up each alarm condition to force data log entries in a single data log file.
For the PM820, PM850, and PM870 PowerLogic software can be used to set up each
alarm condition to force data log entries in up to three user-defined data log files. See
NOTE: PM820 only supports one data log.

Basic Alarm Groups
When using a default alarm, you first choose the alarm group that is appropriate for the
application. Each alarm condition is assigned to one of these alarm groups:
Whether you are using a default alarm or creating a custom alarm, you first choose the
alarm group that is appropriate for the application. Each alarm condition is assigned to one
of these alarm groups:
•
•
•
Standard—Standard alarms have a detection rate of 1 second and are useful for
detecting conditions such as over current and under voltage. Up to 40 alarms can be
set up in this alarm group.
Digital—Digital alarms are triggered by an exception such as the transition of a digital
input or the end of an incremental energy interval. Up to 12 alarms can be set up in this
group.
Custom—The power meter has many pre-defined alarms, but you can also set up your
own custom alarms using PowerLogic software. For example, you may need to alarm
on the ON-to-OFF transition of a digital input. To create this type of custom alarm:
1. Select the appropriate alarm group (digital in this case).
3. Give the alarm a name.
4. Save the custom alarm.
After creating a custom alarm, you can configure it by applying priorities, setting pickups
and dropouts (if applicable), and so forth.
Both the power meter display and PowerLogic software can be used to set up standard,
digital, and custom alarm types.

Setpoint-driven Alarms
Many of the alarm conditions require that you define setpoints. This includes all alarms for
over, under, and phase unbalance alarm conditions. Other alarm conditions such as digital
input transitions and phase reversals do not require setpoints. For those alarm conditions
that require setpoints, you must define the following information:
•
•
•
•
Pickup Setpoint
Pickup Delay
Dropout Setpoint
Dropout Delay
NOTE: Alarms with both Pickup and Dropout setpoints set to zero are invalid.
The following two figures will help you understand how the power meter handles setpoint-

Alarm Period
EV1—The power meter records the date and time that the pickup setpoint and time delay
were satisfied, and the maximum value reached (Max1) during the pickup delay period
(T). Also, the power meter performs any tasks assigned to the event such as waveform
captures or forced data log entries.
EV2—The power meter records the date and time that the dropout setpoint and time delay
were satisfied, and the maximum value reached (Max2) during the alarm period.
The power meter also stores a correlation sequence number (CSN) for each event (such as
Under Voltage Phase A Pickup, Under Voltage Phase A Dropout). The CSN lets you relate
pickups and dropouts in the alarm log. You can sort pickups and dropouts by CSN to
correlate the pickups and dropouts of a particular alarm. The pickup and dropout entries of
an alarm will have the same CSN. You can also calculate the duration of an event by
looking at pickups and dropouts with the same CSN.

Chapter 6—Alarms
Priorities
Each alarm also has a priority level. Use the priorities to distinguish between events that
require immediate action and those that do not require action.
•
High priority—if a high priority alarm occurs, the display informs you in two ways: the
LED backlight on the display flashes until you acknowledge the alarm and the alarm
icon blinks while the alarm is active.
•
Medium priority—if a medium priority alarm occurs, the alarm icon blinks only while
the alarm is active. Once the alarm becomes inactive, the alarm icon stops blinking and
remains on the display.
•
•
Low priority—if a low priority alarm occurs, the alarm icon blinks only while the alarm is
active. Once the alarm becomes inactive, the alarm icon disappears from the display.
No priority—if an alarm is set up with no priority, no visible representation will appear
on the display. Alarms with no priority are not entered in the Alarm Log. See Chapter
7—Logging for alarm logging information.
If multiple alarms with different priorities are active at the same time, the display shows the
alarm message for the last alarm that occurred. For instructions on setting up alarms from

Under-voltage: Pickup and dropout setpoints are entered in volts. The per-phase under-
voltage alarm occurs when the per-phase voltage is equal to or below the pickup setpoint
long enough to satisfy the specified pickup delay (in seconds). The under-voltage alarm
clears when the phase voltage remains above the dropout setpoint for the specified dropout
delay period.
Over-voltage: Pickup and dropout setpoints are entered in volts. The per-phase over-
voltage alarm occurs when the per-phase voltage is equal to or above the pickup setpoint
long enough to satisfy the specified pickup delay (in seconds). The over-voltage alarm
clears when the phase voltage remains below the dropout setpoint for the specified dropout
delay period.
Unbalance Current: Pickup and dropout setpoints are entered in tenths of percent, based
on the percentage difference between each phase current with respect to the average of all
phase currents. For example, enter an unbalance of 7% as 70. The unbalance current
alarm occurs when the phase current deviates from the average of the phase currents, by
the percentage pickup setpoint, for the specified pickup delay. The alarm clears when the
percentage difference between the phase current and the average of all phases remains
below the dropout setpoint for the specified dropout delay period.
Unbalance Voltage: Pickup and dropout setpoints are entered in tenths of percent, based

the percentage pickup setpoint, for the specified pickup delay. The alarm clears when the
percentage difference between the phase voltage and the average of all phases remains
below the dropout setpoint for the specified dropout delay (in seconds).
Phase Loss—Current: Pickup and dropout setpoints are entered in amperes. The phase
loss current alarm occurs when any current value (but not all current values) is equal to or
below the pickup setpoint for the specified pickup delay (in seconds). The alarm clears
when one of the following is true:
•
•
All of the phases remain above the dropout setpoint for the specified dropout delay, or
All of the phases drop below the phase loss pickup setpoint.
If all of the phase currents are equal to or below the pickup setpoint, during the pickup
delay, the phase loss alarm will not activate. This is considered an under current condition.
It should be handled by configuring the under current alarm functions.
Phase Loss—Voltage: Pickup and dropout setpoints are entered in volts. The phase loss
voltage alarm occurs when any voltage value (but not all voltage values) is equal to or
below the pickup setpoint for the specified pickup delay (in seconds). The alarm clears
when one of the following is true:
•
•
All of the phases remain above the dropout setpoint for the specified dropout delay (in
seconds), OR
All of the phases drop below the phase loss pickup setpoint.
If all of the phase voltages are equal to or below the pickup setpoint, during the pickup
delay, the phase loss alarm will not activate. This is considered an under voltage condition.
It should be handled by configuring the under voltage alarm functions.
Reverse Power: Pickup and dropout setpoints are entered in kilowatts or kVARs. The
reverse power alarm occurs when the power flows in a negative direction and remains at or
below the negative pickup value for the specified pickup delay (in seconds). The alarm
clears when the power reading remains above the dropout setpoint for the specified
dropout delay (in seconds).
Phase Reversal: Pickup and dropout setpoints do not apply to phase reversal. The phase
reversal alarm occurs when the phase voltage rotation differs from the default phase
rotation. The power meter assumes that an ABC phase rotation is normal. If a CBA phase
rotation is normal, the user must change the power meter’s phase rotation from ABC
(default) to CBA. To change the phase rotation from the display, from the main menu select
Setup > Meter > Advanced. For more information about changing the phase rotation setting

Scale Factors
A scale factor is the multiplier expressed as a power of 10. For example, a multiplier of 10 is
1
represented as a scale factor of 1, since 10 =10; a multiplier of 100 is represented as a
2
scale factor of 2, since 10 =100. This allows you to make larger values fit into the register.
Normally, you do not need to change scale factors. If you are creating custom alarms, you
need to understand how scale factors work so that you do not overflow the register with a
number larger than what the register can hold. When PowerLogic software is used to set up
alarms, it automatically handles the scaling of pickup and dropout setpoints. When creating
a custom alarm using the power meter’s display, do the following:
•
•
Determine how the corresponding metering value is scaled, and
Take the scale factor into account when entering alarm pickup and dropout settings.
Pickup and dropout settings must be integer values in the range of -32,767 to +32,767. For
example, to set up an under voltage alarm for a 138 kV nominal system, decide upon a
setpoint value and then convert it into an integer between -32,767 and +32,767. If the under
voltage setpoint were 125,000 V, this would typically be converted to 12500 x 10 and
entered as a setpoint of 12500.
Six scale groups are defined (A through F). The scale factor is preset for all factory-
configured alarms. Table 6–2 lists the available scale factors for each of the scale groups.
If you need either an extended range or more resolution, select any of the available scale

Scaling Alarm Setpoints
This section is for users who do not have PowerLogic software and need to set up alarms
from the power meter display. It explains how to scale alarm setpoints.
When the power meter is equipped with a display, most metered quantities are limited to
five characters (plus a positive or negative sign). The display will also show the engineering
units applied to that quantity.
To determine the proper scaling of an alarm setpoint, view the register number for the
associated scale group. The scale factor is the number in the Dec column for that register.
For example, the register number for Scale D to Phase Volts is 3212. If the number in the
1
Dec column is 1, the scale factor is 10 (10 =10). Remember that scale factor 1 in
setpoint of 125 kV, enter 12.5 because 12.5 multiplied by 10 is 125. Below is a table listing
the scale groups and their register numbers.

Table 6–6: Alarm Types
Type Description
Operation
Standard Speed
If the test register value exceeds the setpoint long enough to satisfy the pickup
delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When the value in the test register
falls below the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy the dropout delay period,
the alarm will drop out. Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in
seconds.
010 Over Value Alarm
If the absolute value in the test register exceeds the setpoint long enough to
satisfy the pickup delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When absolute the
value in the test register falls below the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy the
dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. Pickup and dropout setpoints are
positive, delays are in seconds.
011 Over Power Alarm
If the absolute value in the test register exceeds the setpoint long enough to
satisfy the pickup delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When absolute the
value in the test register falls below the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy the
dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. This alarm will only hold true for
reverse power conditions. Positive power values will not cause the alarm to occur.
Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in seconds.
Over Reverse
012
Power Alarm
If the test register value is below the setpoint long enough to satisfy the pickup
delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When the value in the test register
rises above the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy the dropout delay period,
the alarm will drop out. Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in
seconds.
020 Under Value Alarm
021 Under Power Alarm
051 Phase Reversal
If the absolute value in the test register is below the setpoint long enough to
satisfy the pickup delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When the absolute
value in the test register rises above the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy
the dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. Pickup and dropout setpoints are
positive, delays are in seconds.
The phase reversal alarm will occur whenever the phase voltage waveform
rotation differs from the default phase rotation. The ABC phase rotation is
assumed to be normal. If a CBA phase rotation is normal, the user should
reprogram the power meter’s phase rotation ABC to CBA phase rotation. The
pickup and dropout setpoints for phase reversal do not apply.
The phase loss voltage alarm will occur when any one or two phase voltages (but
not all) fall to the pickup value and remain at or below the pickup value long
enough to satisfy the specified pickup delay. When all of the phases remain at or
above the dropout value for the dropout delay period, or when all of the phases
drop below the specified phase loss pickup value, the alarm will drop out. Pickup
and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in seconds.
052 Phase Loss, Voltage
053 Phase Loss, Current
The phase loss current alarm will occur when any one or two phase currents (but
not all) fall to the pickup value and remain at or below the pickup value long
enough to satisfy the specified pickup delay. When all of the phases remain at or
above the dropout value for the dropout delay period, or when all of the phases
drop below the specified phase loss pickup value, the alarm will drop out. Pickup
and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in seconds.
The leading power factor alarm will occur when the test register value becomes
more leading than the pickup setpoint (such as closer to 0.010) and remains more
leading long enough to satisfy the pickup delay period. When the value becomes
equal to or less leading than the dropout setpoint, that is 1.000, and remains less
054 Leading Power Factor leading for the dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. Both the pickup
setpoint and the dropout setpoint must be positive values representing leading
power factor. Enter setpoints as integer values representing power factor in
thousandths. For example, to define a dropout setpoint of 0.5, enter 500. Delays
are in seconds.
The lagging power factor alarm will occur when the test register value becomes
more lagging than the pickup setpoint (such as closer to –0.010) and remains
more lagging long enough to satisfy the pickup delay period. When the value
becomes equal to or less lagging than the dropout setpoint and remains less
055 Lagging Power Factor lagging for the dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. Both the pickup
setpoint and the dropout setpoint must be positive values representing lagging
power factor. Enter setpoints as integer values representing power factor in
thousandths. For example, to define a dropout setpoint of –0.5, enter 500. Delays
are in seconds.
Digital
The digital input transition alarms will occur whenever the digital input changes
from off to on. The alarm will dropout when the digital input changes back to on
from off. The pickup and dropout setpoints and delays do not apply.
060 Digital Input On
061 Digital Input Off
070 Unary
The digital input transition alarms will occur whenever the digital input changes
from on to off.The alarm will dropout when the digital input changes back to off
from on. The pickup and dropout setpoints and delays do not apply.
This is a internal signal from the power meter and can be used, for example, to
alarm at the end of an interval or when the power meter is reset. Neither the
pickup and dropout delays nor the setpoints apply.

•
Boolean—Boolean alarms use Boolean logic to combine up to four enabled alarms.
You can choose from the Boolean logic operands: AND, NAND, OR, NOR, or XOR to
combine your alarms. Up to 10 alarms can be set up in this group.
Disturbance (PM870)—Disturbance alarms have a detection rate of half a cycle and
are useful for detecting voltage sags and swells. The Power Meter comes configured
with 12 default voltage sag and swell alarms; current sag and swell alarms are available
by configuring custom alarms. Up to 12 disturbance alarms can be set up in this group.
For more information about disturbance monitoring, see Chapter 9—Disturbance
•
Custom—The power meter has many pre-defined alarms, but you can also set up your
own custom alarms using PowerLogic software. For example, you may need to alarm
on a sag condition for current A. To create this type of custom alarm:
1. Select the appropriate alarm group (Disturbance in this case).
2. Delete any of the default alarms you are not using from the disturbance alarms
group (for example, Sag Vbc). The Add button should be available now.
3. Click Add, then select Disturbance, Sag, and Current A.
4. Give the alarm a name.
5. Save the custom alarm.
After creating a custom alarm, you can configure it by applying priorities, setting pickups
and dropouts (if applicable), and so forth.
PowerLogic software can be used to configure any of the advanced alarm types, but the
power meter display cannot be used. Also, use PowerLogic software to delete an alarm
and create a new alarm for evaluating other metered quantities.

Alarm Levels
Using PowerLogic software with a PM850 or PM870, multiple alarms can be set up for one
particular quantity (parameter) to create alarm “levels”. You can take different actions
depending on the severity of the alarm.
For example, you could set up two alarms for kW Demand. A default alarm already exists
for kW Demand, but you could create another custom alarm for kW Demand, selecting
different pickup points for it. The custom kW Demand alarm, once created, will appear in
the standard alarm list. For illustration purposes, let’s set the default kW Demand alarm to
120 kW and the new custom alarm to 150 kW. One alarm named kW Demand ; the other
same quantity, use slightly different names to distinguish which alarm is active. The display
can hold up to 15 characters for each name. You can create up to 10 alarm levels for each
quantity.

The voltage sag alarms will occur whenever the continuous rms
calculation is below the pickup setpoint and remains below the pickup
setpoint for the specified number of cycles. When the continuous rms
calculations rise above the dropout setpoint and remain above the
setpoint for the specified number of cycles, the alarm will drop out.
Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive and delays are in cycles.

Memory Allocation for Log Files
Each file in the power meter has a maximum memory size. Memory is not shared between
the different logs, so reducing the number of values recorded in one log will not allow more
values to be stored in a different log. The following table lists the memory allocated to each
log:

Alarm Log
By default, the power meter can log the occurrence of any alarm condition. Each time an
alarm occurs it is entered into the alarm log. The alarm log in the power meter stores the
pickup and dropout points of alarms along with the date and time associated with these
alarms. You select whether the alarm log saves data as first-in-first-out (FIFO) or fill and
hold. With PowerLogic software, you can view and save the alarm log to disk, and reset the
alarm log to clear the data out of the power meter’s memory.
Alarm Log Storage
Maintenance Log
The power meter stores alarm log data in non-volatile memory. The size of the alarm log is
fixed at 100 records.
The power meter stores a maintenance log in non-volatile memory. The file has a fixed
record length of four registers and a total of 40 records. The first register is a cumulative
counter over the life of the power meter. The last three registers contain the date/time of
These values are cumulative over the life of the power meter and cannot be reset.
NOTE: Use PowerLogic software to view the maintenance log.

Alarm-driven Data Log Entries
The PM810 with a PM810LOG can detect over 50 alarm conditions, including over/under
conditions, digital input changes, phase unbalance conditions, and more. (See Chapter
alarm condition one or more tasks, including forcing data log entries into Data Log 1.
The PM820, PM850, and PM870 can detect over 50 alarm conditions, including over/under
conditions, digital input changes, phase unbalance conditions, and more. (See Chapter
alarm condition one or more tasks, including forcing data log entries into one or more data
log files.
For example, assume you have defined three data log files. Using PowerLogic software,
you could select an alarm condition such as “Overcurrent Phase A” and set up the power
meter to force data log entries into any of the three log files each time the alarm condition
occurs.
Organizing Data Log Files (PM850, PM870)
You can organize data log files in many ways. One possible way is to organize log files
according to the logging interval. You might also define a log file for entries forced by alarm
conditions. For example, you could set up three data log files as follows:
Data Log 1:
Data Log 2:
Data Log 3:
Log voltage every minute. Make the file large
enough to hold 60 entries so that you could look
back over the last hour’s voltage readings.
Log energy once every day. Make the file large
enough to hold 31 entries so that you could look
back over the last month and see daily energy use.
Report by exception. The report by exception file
contains data log entries that are forced by the
occurrence of an alarm condition. See the topic
information.
NOTE: The same data log file can support both scheduled and alarm-driven entries.
Billing Log
The PM810 with a PM810LOG, PM820, PM850 and PM870 Power Meters store a
configurable billing log that updates every 10 to 1,440 minutes (the default interval 60
minutes). Data is stored by month, day, and the specified interval in minutes. The log
contains 24 months of monthly data and 32 days of daily data, but because the maximum
amount of memory for the billing log is 64 KB, the number of recorded intervals varies
based on the number of registers recorded in the billing log. For example, using all of the
registers listed in Table 7–6, the billing log holds 12 days of data at 60-minute intervals.
This value is calculated by doing the following:
of registers). In this example, all 26 registers are used.
2. Calculate the number of bytes used for the 24 monthly records.
24 records (26 registers x 2 bytes/register) = 1,248
3. Calculate the number of bytes used for the 32 daily records.
32 (26 x 2) = 1,664
4. Calculate the number of bytes used each day (based on 15 minute intervals).
96 (26 x 2) = 4,992
5. Calculate the number of days of 60-minute interval data recorded by subtracting the
values from steps 2 and 3 from the total log file size of 65,536 bytes and then dividing
by the value in step 4.
(65,536 – 1,248 – 1,664) 4,992 = 12 days

Waveform Capture
A waveform capture can be initiated manually or by an alarm trigger to analyze steady-
state or disturbance events. This waveform provides information about individual
harmonics, which PowerLogic software calculates through the 63rd harmonic. It also
calculates total harmonic distortion (THD) and other power quality parameters.
NOTE: Disturbance waveform captures are available in the PM870 only.
In the PM850, the waveform capture records five individual three-cycle captures at 128
samples per cycle simultaneously on all six metered channels. In the PM870, there is a
range of one to five waveform captures, but the number of cycles captured varies based on
the number of samples per cycle and the number of channels selected in your software.
Use Figure 8–1 to determine the number of cycles captured.

Initiating a Waveform
Using PowerLogic software from a remote PC, initiate a waveform capture manually by
selecting the power meter and issuing the acquire command. The software will
automatically retrieve the waveform capture from the power meter. You can display the
waveform for all three phases, or zoom in on a single waveform, which includes a data
block with extensive harmonic data. See your software’s online help or documentation for
instructions.
Waveform Storage
The power meter can store multiple captured waveforms in its non-volatile memory. The
number of waveforms stored is based on the number selected. There are a maximum of
five stored waveforms. All stored waveform data is retained on power loss.
Waveform Storage Modes
There are two ways to store waveform captures: “FIFO” and “Fill and Hold.” FIFO mode
allows the file to fill up the waveform capture file. After the file is full, the oldest waveform
capture is removed, and the most recent waveform capture is added to the file. The Fill and
Hold mode fills the file until the configured number of waveform captures is reached. New
waveform captures cannot be added until the file is cleared.
How the Power Meter Captures an Event
When the power meter senses the trigger—that is, when the digital input transitions from
OFF to ON, or an alarm condition is met—the power meter transfers the cycle data from its
data buffer into the memory allocated for event captures.
Channel Selection in PowerLogic Software
Using PowerLogic software, you can select up to six channels to include in the waveform
capture. See your software’s online help or documentation for instructions.

Chapter 9—Disturbance Monitoring (PM870)
Chapter 9—Disturbance Monitoring (PM870)
This chapter provides background information about disturbance monitoring and describes
how to use the PM870 to continuously monitor for disturbances on the current and voltage
inputs.
About Disturbance Monitoring
Momentary voltage disturbances are an increasing concern for industrial plants, hospitals,
data centers, and other commercial facilities because modern equipment used in those
facilities tends to be more sensitive to voltage sags, swells, and momentary interruptions.
The power meter can detect these events by continuously monitoring and recording current
and voltage information on all metered channels. Using this information, you can diagnose
equipment problems resulting from voltage sags or swells and identify areas of
vulnerability, enabling you to take corrective action.
The interruption of an industrial process because of an abnormal voltage condition can
result in substantial costs, which manifest themselves in many ways:
•
•
•
•
labor costs for cleanup and restart
lost productivity
damaged product or reduced product quality
delivery delays and user dissatisfaction
The entire process can depend on the sensitivity of a single piece of equipment. Relays,
contactors, adjustable speed drives, programmable controllers, PCs, and data
communication networks are all susceptible to power quality problems. After the electrical
system is interrupted or shut down, determining the cause may be difficult.
Several types of voltage disturbances are possible, each potentially having a different
origin and requiring a separate solution. A momentary interruption occurs when a protective
device interrupts the circuit that feeds a facility. Swells and over-voltages can damage
equipment or cause motors to overheat. Perhaps the biggest power quality problem is the
momentary voltage sag caused by faults on remote circuits.
A voltage sag is a brief (1/2 cycle to 1 minute) decrease in rms voltage magnitude. A sag is
typically caused by a remote fault somewhere on the power system, often initiated by a
fault not only caused an interruption to plant D, but also resulted in voltage sags to plants A,
B, and C.
NOTE: The PM870 is able to detect sag and swell events less than 1/2 cycle duration.
However, it may be impractical to have setpoints more sensitive than 10% for voltage and
current fluctuations.

Fault
A fault near plant D, cleared by the utility circuit

resulting in a voltage sag.
System voltage sags are much more numerous than interruptions, since a wider part of the
distribution system is affected. And, if reclosers are operating, they may cause repeated
the magnitude of a voltage sag, which persists until the remote fault is cleared.
Figure 9–2: Waveform showing voltage sag caused by a remote fault and lasting five cycles
With the information obtained from the PM870 during a disturbance, you can solve
disturbance-related problems, including the following:
•
Obtain accurate measurement from your power system
— Identify the number of sags, swells, or interruptions for evaluation
— Accurately distinguish between sags and interruptions, with accurate recording of
the time and date of the occurrence
— Provide accurate data in equipment specification (ride-through, etc.)
Determine equipment sensitivity
•
— Compare equipment sensitivity of different brands (contactor dropout, drive
sensitivity, etc.)
— Diagnose mysterious events such as equipment malfunctions, contactor dropout,
computer glitches, etc.
— Compare actual sensitivity of equipment to published standards

Capabilities of the PM870 During an Event
The PM870 calculates rms magnitudes, based on 128 data points per cycle, every 1/2
cycle. This ensures that even sub-cycle duration rms variations are not missed.
The power meter is configured with 12 default voltage disturbance alarms for all voltage
channels. Current sag and swell alarms are available by configuring custom alarms. A
maximum of 12 disturbance alarms are available. When the PM870 detects a sag or swell,
it can perform the following actions:
•
Perform a waveform capture with a resolution from 185 cycles at 16 samples per
cycle on one channel down to 3 cycles at 128 samples per cycle on all six channels of
software to set up the event capture and retrieve the waveform.
•
Record the event in the alarm log. When an event occurs, the PM870 updates the
alarm log with an event date and time stamp with 1 millisecond resolution for a sag or
swell pickup, and an rms magnitude corresponding to the most extreme value of the
sag or swell during the event pickup delay. Also, the PM870 can record the sag or swell
dropout in the alarm log at the end of the disturbance. Information stored includes: a
dropout time stamp with 1 millisecond resolution and a second rms magnitude
corresponding to the most extreme value of the sag or swell. Use PowerLogic software
to view the alarm log.
NOTE: The Power Meter display has a 1 second resolution.
•
Force a data log entry in up to 3 independent data logs. Use PowerLogic software to
set up and view the data logs.
•
•
Operate any output relays when the event is detected.
Indicate the alarm on the display by flashing the maintenance icon to show that a sag
or swell event has occurred.

Chapter 10—Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Introduction
This chapter describes information related to maintenance of your power meter.
The power meter does not contain any user-serviceable parts. If the power meter requires
service, contact your local sales representative. Do not open the power meter. Opening the
power meter voids the warranty.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Do not attempt to service the power meter. CT and PT inputs may contain
hazardous currents and voltages.
• Only authorized service personnel from the manufacturer should service the
power meter.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• Do not perform a Dielectric (Hi-Pot) or Megger test on the power meter. High
voltage testing of the power meter may damage the unit.
• Before performing Hi-Pot or Megger testing on any equipment in which the power
meter is installed, disconnect all input and output wires to the power meter.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
Power Meter Memory
The power meter uses its non-volatile memory (RAM) to retain all data and metering
configuration values. Under the operating temperature range specified for the power meter,
this non-volatile memory has an expected life of up to 100 years. The power meter stores
its data logs on a memory chip, which has a life expectancy of up to 20 years under the
operating temperature range specified for the power meter. The life of the internal battery-
backed clock is over 10 years at 25°C.
NOTE: Life expectancy is a function of operating conditions; this does not constitute any
expressed or implied warranty.
Date and Time Settings
The clock in the PM810 is volatile. Therefore, the PM810 returns to the default clock
date/time of 12:00 AM 01-01-1980 each time the meter resets. Reset occurs when the
meter loses control power or you change meter configuration parameters including
selecting the time format (24-hr or AM/PM) or date format. To avoid resetting clock time
more than once, always set the clock date and time last. The PM810LOG (optional module)
provides a non-volatile clock in addition to on-board logging and individual harmonics
readings for the PM810.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe
electrical practices. For example, in the United States, see NFPA 70E.
• This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified personnel.
• Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is
off.
• Carefully inspect the work area for tools and objects that may have been left
inside the equipment.
• Use caution while removing or installing panels so that they do not extend into
the energized bus; avoid handling the panels which could cause personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Heartbeat LED
The heartbeat LED helps to troubleshoot the power meter. The LED works as follows:
•
•
Normal operation — the LED flashes at a steady rate during normal operation.
Communications — the LED flash rate changes as the communications port transmits
and receives data. If the LED flash rate does not change when data is sent from the
host computer, the power meter is not receiving requests from the host computer.
•
•
Hardware — if the heartbeat LED remains lit and does not flash ON and OFF, there is
a hardware problem. Do a hard reset of the power meter (turn OFF power to the power
meter, then restore power to the power meter). If the heartbeat LED remains lit, contact
your local sales representative.
Control power and display — if the heartbeat LED flashes, but the display is blank,
the display is not functioning properly. If the display is blank and the LED is not lit, verify
that control power is connected to the power meter.

Appendix A—Instrument Transformer Wiring: Troubleshooting Tables
Appendix A—Instrument Transformer Wiring: Troubleshooting Tables
Abnormal readings in an installed meter can sometimes signify improper wiring. This
appendix is provided as an aid in troubleshooting potential wiring problems.
Using This Appendix
The following pages contain “Case” tables arranged in sections. These tables show a
variety of symptoms and probable causes.
Section I: Check these tables first. These are common problems for 3-wire and 4-wire
systems that can occur regardless of system type.
Section II: Check these tables if troubleshooting more complex 3-wire systems.
Section III: Check these tables if troubleshooting more complex 4-wire systems.
The symptoms listed are “ideal,” and some judgment should be exercised when
troubleshooting. For example, if the kW reading is 25, but you know that it should be about
300 kW, go to a table where “kW = 0” is listed as one of the symptoms.
Because it is nearly impossible to address all combinations of multiple wiring mistakes or
other problems that can occur (e.g., blown PT fuses, missing PT neutral ground
connection), this guide generally addresses only one wiring problem at a time.
Before trying to troubleshoot wiring problems, it is imperative that all instantaneous
readings be available for reference. Specifically, those readings should include the
following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
line-to-line voltages
line-to-neutral voltages
phase currents
power factor
kW
kVAR
kVA
What is Normal?
Most power systems have a lagging (inductive) power factor. The only time a leading power
factor is expected is if power factor correction capacitors are switched in or over-excited
synchronous motors with enough capacitive kVARS are on-line to overcorrect the power
factor to leading. Some uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) also produce a leading
power factor.
"Normal" lagging power system readings are as follows:
•
•
•
•
Positive kW = 3 VAB I3Avg PF3Avg 1000
Negative kVAR = kVA2 – kW2 1000
kVA (always positive) = 3 VAB I3Avg 1000
PF3Avg = lagging in the range 0.70 to 1.00 (for 4-wire systems, all phase PFs are
about the same)
•
•
Phase currents approximately equal
Phase voltages approximately equal
A quick check for proper readings consists of kW comparisons (calculated using the
previous equation and compared to the meter reading) and a reasonable lagging 3-phase
average power factor reading. If these checks are okay, there is little reason to continue to
check for wiring problems.

Section I: Common Problems for 3-Wire and 4-Wire Systems
Section I—Case A
Symptoms: 3-Wire and 4-Wire
Possible Causes
•
•
CT secondaries shorted.
•
•
Zero amps
Less than 2% load on power meter based on CT ratio.
Zero kW, kVAR, kVA
Example: with 100/5 CT's, at least 2A must flow through CT window for power
meter to “wake up.”
Section I—Case B
Symptoms: 3-Wire and 4-Wire
Possible Causes
•
All three CT polarities backwards; could be CTs are physically mounted
with primary polarity mark toward the load instead of toward source or
secondary leads swapped.
•
•
•
Negative kW of expected magnitude
Positive kVAR
•
All three PT polarities backwards; again, could be on primary or secondary.
Normal lagging power factor
NOTE: Experience shows CTs are usually the problem.
Section I—Case C
Symptoms: 3-Wire and 4-Wire
Possible Causes
•
•
PTs primary and/or secondary neutral common not grounded (values as
high as 275 Hz and as low as 10 Hz have been seen).
•
Frequency is an abnormal value; may or may
not be a multiple of 50/60 Hz.
System grounding problem at the power distribution transformer (such as
utility transformer), though this is not likely.

Section II: 3-Wire System Troubleshooting
Section II—Case A
Symptoms: 3-Wire
Possible Causes
•
•
•
•
Currents and voltages approximately balanced
kW = near 0
•
•
CT secondary leads are swapped (A-phase lead on C-phase terminal and
vice versa).
kVAR = near 0
PT secondary leads are swapped (A-phase lead on C-phase terminal and
vice versa).
PF can be any value, probably fluctuating
Section II—Case B
Symptoms: 3-Wire
Possible Causes
•
Phase B current is 3 higher than A and C
(except in System Type 31).
•
•
kVA = about half of the expected magnitude
•
One CT polarity is backwards.
kW and kVAR can be positive or negative, less
than about half of the expected magnitude.
•
PF can be any value, probably a low leading
value.
Section II—Case C
Symptoms: 3-Wire
Possible Causes
•
•
•
VCA is 3 higher than VAB and VBC
kVA = about half of the expected magnitude
kW and kVAR can be positive or negative, less
than about half of the expected magnitude
•
One PT polarity is backwards.
•
PF can be any value, probably a low leading
value
Section II—Case D
Symptoms: 3-Wire
Possible Causes
•
•
kW = 0 or low, with magnitude less than kVAR
•
•
Either the two voltage leads are swapped OR the two current leads are
swapped AND one instrument transformer has backwards polarity.
kVAR = positive or negative with magnitude of
close to what is expected for kW
(look for VCA
=
3 high or phase B current = 3 high)
•
•
kVA = expected magnitude
The power meter is metering a purely capacitive load (this is unusual); in
this case kW and kVAR will be positive and PF will be near 0 lead.
PF = near 0 up to about 0.7 lead
Section II—Case E
Symptoms: 3-Wire
Possible Causes
•
•
•
One phase current reads 0
•
•
The CT on the phase that reads 0 is short-circuited.
kVA = about 1/2 of the expected value
Less than 2% current (based on CT ratio) flowing through the CT on the
phase that reads 0.
kW, kVAR, and power factor can be positive or
negative of any value

Section III: 4-Wire System Troubleshooting
Section III—Case A
Symptoms: 4-Wire
Possible Causes
•
•
•
•
kW = 1/3 of the expected value
kVAR = 1/3 of the expected value
power factor = 1/3 of the expected value
All else is normal
•
One CT polarity is backwards.
NOTE: The only way this problem will usually be detected is by the Quick Check
procedure. It is very important to always calculate kW. In this case, it is the only symptom
and will go unnoticed unless the calculation is done or someone notices backwards CT on
a waveform capture.
Section III—Case B
Symptoms: 4-Wire
Possible Causes
•
One PT polarity is backwards.
•
•
•
•
•
kW = 1/3 of the expected value
kVAR = 1/3 of the expected value
2 of the 3 line-to-line voltages are 3 low
power factor = 1/3 of the expected value
All else is normal
NOTE: The line-to-line voltage reading that does not reference the PT with backwards
polarity will be the only correct reading.
Example: VAB= 277, VBC= 480, VCA= 277
In this case, the A-phase PT polarity is backwards. VBC is correct because it does not
reference VA
.
Section III—Case C
Symptoms: 4-Wire
Possible Causes
•
•
•
•
•
•
One line-to-neutral voltage is zero
2 of the 3 line-to-line voltages are 3 low
kW = 2/3 of the expected value
kVAR = 2/3 of the expected value
kVA = 2/3 of the expected value
Power factor may look abnormal
•
PT metering input missing (blown fuse, open phase disconnect, etc.) on the
phase that reads zero.
NOTE: The line-to-line voltage reading that does not reference the missing PT input will be
the only correct reading.
Example: VAB= 277, VBC= 277, VCA= 480
In this case, the B-phase PT input is missing. VCA is correct because it does not
reference VB
.
Section III—Case D
Symptoms: 4-Wire
Possible Causes
•
•
•
•
•
3-phase kW = 2/3 of the expected value
3-phase kVAR = 2/3 of the expected value
3-phase kVA = 2/3 of the expected value
One phase current reads 0
•
•
The CT on the phase that reads 0 is short-circuited.
Less than 2% current (based on CT ratio) flowing through the CT on the
phase that reads 0.
All else is normal

VAN= 287V
VBN= 287V
VCN= 284V
PF3Avg= 0.75 lag to 0.22 lead fluctuating
Troubleshooting Diagnosis
•
•
Power factors cannot be correct .
None of the “Section II” symptoms exist, so proceed to the 4-wire troubleshooting
(“Section IV”).
•
•
Cannot calculate kW because 3-phase power factor cannot be right, so calculate kVA
instead.
Calculated kVA = 3 Vab I3Avg 1000
= 1.732 495 908 1000
= 778 kVA
•
•
•
Power meter reading is essentially zero compared to this value.
4-wire Case E looks similar.
Since the PTs were connected to other power meters which were reading correctly,
suspect two CT leads swapped.
•
•
Since A-phase power factor is the only one that has a normal looking lagging value,
suspect B and C-phase CT leads may be swapped.
After swapping B and C-phase CT leads, all readings went to the expected values;
problem solved.

The power meter registers can be used with MODBUS or JBUS protocols. Although the
MODBUS protocol uses a zero-based register addressing convention and JBUS protocol
uses a one-based register addressing convention, the power meter automatically
compensates for the MODBUS offset of one. Regard all registers as holding registers
where a 30,000 or 40,000 offset can be used. For example, Current Phase A will reside in
register 31,100 or 41,100 instead of 1,100.

How Date and Time are Stored in Registers
The date and time are stored in a three-register compressed format. Each of the three
registers, such as registers 1810 to 1812, contain a high and low byte value to represent
time it represents.

Table B–2 provides an example of the date and time. If the date was 01/25/00 at 11:06:59,
the Hex value would be 0119, 640B, 063B. Breaking it down into bytes we have the
following:

0B = hour
06 = minute
3B = seconds
NOTE: Date format is a 3 (6-byte) register compressed format. (Year 2001 is represented
as 101 in the year byte.)
How Signed Power Factor is Stored in the Register
Each power factor value occupies one register. Power factor values are stored using
leading/lagging. A positive value (bit 15=0) always indicates leading. A negative value (bit
15=1) always indicates lagging. Bits 0–9 store a value in the range 0–1,000 decimal. For
example the power meter would return a leading power factor of 0.5 as 500. Divide by
1,000 to get a power factor in the range 0 to 1.000.

Sign Bit
0=Leading
1=Lagging
When the power factor is lagging, the power meter returns a high negative value—for
example, -31,794. This happens because bit 15=1 (for example, the binary equivalent of -
31,794 is 1000001111001110). To get a value in the range 0 to 1,000, you need to mask bit
15. You do this by adding 32,768 to the value. An example will help clarify.
Assume that you read a power factor value of -31,794. Convert this to a power factor in the
range 0 to 1.000, as follows:
-31,794 + 32,768 = 974
974/1,000 = .974 lagging power factor

I/O data pointer. Use this register to point to data buffer registers
where you can send additional data or return data.
These registers are for you (the user) to write information. Depending
on which pointer places the information in the register, the register can
contain status (from pointer 8017), results (from pointer 8018), or data
(from pointer 8019). The registers will contain information such as
whether the function is enabled or disabled, set to fill and hold, start
and stop times, logging intervals, and so forth.
8020–8149
By default, return data will start at 8020 unless you specify otherwise.
When registers 8017 through 8019 are set to zero, no values are returned. When any or all
of these registers contain a value, the value in the register “points” to a target register,
which contains the status, error code, or I/O data (depending on the command) when the
NOTE: You determine the register location where results will be written. Therefore, take
care when assigning register values in the pointer registers; values may be corrupted when
two commands use the same register.

Issuing Commands
To issue commands using the command interface, follow these general steps:
1. Write the related parameter(s) to the command parameter registers 8001–15.
2. Write the command code to command interface register 8000.
If no parameters are associated with the command, then you need only to write the
the command interface into register 8000. Some commands have an associated register
where you write parameters for that command. For example, when you write the parameter
9999 to register 8001 and issue command code 3351, all relays will be energized if they are
set up for external control.

Operating Outputs from the Command Interface
To operate an output from the command interface, first identify the relay using the I/O point
number. Then, set the output to external control. For example, to energize output 1, write
the commands as follows:
1. Write number 1 to register 8001.
2. Write command code 3310 to register 8000 to set the relay to external control.
3. Write command code 3321 to register 8000.
command code 3310 sets the relay to external control and command code 3321 is listed as
the command used to energize a relay. Command codes 3310–3381 are for use with inputs
and outputs.

PowerLogicTM Series 800 Power Meter
Appendix C—Using the Command Interface
Using the Command Interface to Change Configuration Registers
You can also use the command interface to change values in selected metering-related
registers, such as setting the time of day of the clock or resetting generic demand.
Two commands, 9020 and 9021, work together as part of the command interface
procedure when you use it to change power meter configuration. You must first issue
command 9020 to enter into setup mode, change the register, and then issue 9021 to save
your changes and exit setup mode.
Only one setup session is allowed at a time. While in this mode, if the power meter detects
more than two minutes of inactivity, that is, if you do not write any register values or press
any buttons on the display, the power meter will time out and restore the original
configuration values. All changes will be lost. Also, if the power meter loses power or
communications while in setup mode, your changes will be lost.
The general procedure for changing configuration registers using the command interface is
as follows:
1. Issue command 9020 in register 8000 to enter into setup mode.
2. Make changes to the appropriate register by writing the new value to that register.
Perform register writes to all registers that you want to change. For instructions on
3. To save the changes, write the value 1 to register 8001.
NOTE: Writing any other value except 1 to register 8001 lets you exit setup mode
without saving your changes.
4. Issue command 9021 in register 8000 to initiate the save and reset the power meter.
For example, the procedure to change the demand interval for current is as follows:
1. Issue command code 9020 in register 8000.
2. Write the new demand interval to register 1801.
3. Write 1 to register 8001.
4. Issue command code 9021 in register 8000.
register list.
Conditional Energy
Power meter registers 1728–1744 are conditional energy registers.
Conditional energy can be controlled in one of two ways:
•
Over the communications link, by writing commands to the power meter’s command
interface, or
•
By a digital input—for example, conditional energy accumulates when the assigned
digital input is on, but does not accumulate when the digital input is off.
The following procedures explain how to set up conditional energy for command interface
control and for digital input control. The procedures refer to register numbers and command
codes. For a listing of command codes, see Table C–2 on page 84.

Verify Setup—To verify proper setup, read register 1794. The register should read 1,
indicating conditional energy accumulation is ON.
Stop—To stop conditional energy accumulation, write command code 6320 to register
8000.
Clear—To clear all conditional energy registers (1728-1747), write command code
6212 to register 8000.
Digital Input Control
•
Set Control—To configure conditional energy for digital input control:
1. Write command code 9020 to register 8000.
2. In register 3227, set bit 6 to 0 (preserve other bits that are ON).
3. Configure the digital input that will drive conditional energy accumulation. For the
appropriate digital input, write 3 to the Base +9 register.
4. Write 1 to register 8001.
5. Write command code 9021 to register 8000.
•
•
Clear—To clear all conditional energy registers (1728–1747), write command code
6212 to register 8000.
Verify Setup—To verify proper setup, read register 1794. The register should read 0
when the digital input is off, indicating that conditional energy accumulation is off. The
register should read 1 when conditional energy accumulation is on.
Incremental Energy
The power meter’s incremental energy feature allows you to define a start time, end time,
and time interval for incremental energy accumulation. At the end of each incremental
energy period, the following information is available:
•
•
•
•
•
•

•

VARh IN during the last completed interval (reg. 1751–1753)
Wh OUT during the last completed interval (reg. 1754–1756)
VARh OUT during the last completed interval (reg. 1757–1759)
VAh during the last completed interval (reg. 1760–1762)
Date/time of the last completed interval (reg. 1763–1765)
Peak kW demand during the last completed interval (reg. 1940)
Date/Time of Peak kW during the last completed interval (reg. 1941–1943)
Peak kVAR demand during the last completed interval (reg. 1945)
Date/Time of Peak kVAR during the last completed interval (reg. 1946–1948)
Peak kVA demand during the last completed interval (reg. 1950)
Date/Time of Peak kVA during the last completed interval (reg. 1951–1953)
The power meter can log the incremental energy data listed above. This logged data
provides all the information needed to analyze energy and power usage against present or
future utility rates. The information is especially useful for comparing different time-of-use
rate structures.
When using the incremental energy feature, remember that peak demands help minimize
the size of the data log in cases of sliding or rolling demand. Shorter incremental energy
periods make it easier to reconstruct a load profile analysis.

Using Incremental Energy
Incremental energy accumulation begins at the specified start time and ends at the
specified end time. When the start time arrives, a new incremental energy period begins.
The start and end time are specified in minutes from midnight. For example:
Interval: 420 minutes (7 hours)
Start time: 480 minutes (8:00 a.m.)
End time = 1440 minutes (12:00 p.m.)
The first incremental energy calculation will be from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (7 hours) as
third interval will be from 10 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. because 12:00 p.m. is the specified end
time. A new interval will begin on the next day at 8:00 a.m. Incremental energy
accumulation will continue in this manner until the configuration is changed or a new
interval is started by a remote master.

Setting Up Individual Harmonic Calculations
The PM810 with a PM810LOG can perform up to the 31st harmonic magnitude and angle
calculations for each metered value and for each residual value. The Power Meter can
perform harmonic magnitude and angle calculations for each metered value and for each
residual value. The harmonic magnitude for current and voltage can be formatted as either
a percentage of the fundamental (THD), as a percentage of the rms values (thd), or rms.
The harmonic magnitude and angles are stored in a set of registers: 13,200–14,608. During
the time that the power meter is refreshing harmonic data, the power meter posts a value of
0 in register 3246. When the set of harmonic registers is updated with new data, the power
meter posts a value of 1 in register 3246. The power meter can be configured to hold the
values in these registers for up to 60 metering update cycles once the data processing is
complete.
The power meter has three operating modes for harmonic data processing: disabled,
magnitude only, and magnitude and angles. Because of the extra processing time
necessary to perform these calculations, the factory default operating mode is magnitudes
only.

PowerLogicTM Series 800 Power Meter
Appendix C—Using the Command Interface
Changing Scale Factors
The power meter stores instantaneous metering data in 16-bit single registers. A value held
in each register must be an integer between –32,767 and +32,767. Because some values
for metered current, voltage, and power readings fall outside this range, the power meter
uses multipliers, or scale factors. This enables the power meter to extend the range of
metered values that it can record.
The power meter stores these multipliers as scale factors. A scale factor is the multiplier
expressed as a power of 10. For example, a multiplier of 10 is represented as a scale factor
1
2
of 1, since 10 =10; a multiplier of 100 is represented as a scale factor of 2, since 10 =100.
You can change the default value of 1 to other values such as 10, 100, or 1,000. However,
these scale factors are automatically selected when you set up the power meter, either
from the display or by using PowerLogic software.
If the power meter displays “overflow” for any reading, change the scale factor to bring the
reading back into a range that fits in the register. For example, because the register cannot
store a number as large as 138,000, a 138 kV system requires a multiplier of 10. 138,000 is
converted to 13,800 x 10. The power meter stores this value as 13,800 with a scale factor
1
of 1 (because 10 =10).
Scale factors are arranged in scale groups. You can use the command interface to change
scale factors on a group of metered values. However, be aware of these important points if
you choose to change scale factors:
•
We strongly recommend that you do not change the default scale factors, which are
automatically selected by PowerLogic hardware and software.
•
When using custom software to read power meter data over the communications link,
you must account for these scale factors. To correctly read any metered value with a
scale factor other than 0, multiply the register value read by the appropriate power of 10.
•
As with any change to basic meter setup, when you change a scale factor, all min/max
and peak demand values should be reset.
Enabling Floating-point Registers
For each register in integer format, the power meter includes a duplicate set of registers in
floating-point format. The floating point registers are disabled by default, but they can be
turned ON by doing the following:
write registers.
1. Read register 11700 (Current Phase A in floating-point format). If floating-point registers
are OFF, you will see -32,768.
2. Write command code 9020 to register 8000.
3. Write 1 to register 3248.
4. Write 1 to register 8001.
5. Write command code 9021 to register 8000.
6. Read register 11700. You will see a value of 1, which indicates floating-point registers
are ON.
NOTE: Values such as current phase A are not shown in floating-point format on the
display even though floating-point registers are ON. To view floating-point values, read the
floating-point registers using the display or PowerLogic software.

Immunity was approved by the Global Facilities Committee and is the direct responsibility
of the North American Facilities Committee. This standard is very similar to the Information
Technical Industry (ITI) Council standard.
Semiconductor factories require high levels of power quality due to the sensitivity of
equipment and process controls. Semiconductor processing equipment is especially
vulnerable to voltage sags.
The SEMI-F47 standard addresses specifications for semiconductor processing equipment
voltage sag immunity. It does not include over-voltage conditions, voltage sag durations
less than 0.05 seconds (50 milliseconds), or voltage sag duration greater than 1.0 seconds.
If necessary, the ITI CBEMA-curve can be used to specify additional requirements.
Refer to the Schneider Electric POWERLOGIC Web Pages Instruction Bulletin (document
# 63230-304-207) for more information on using the web pages on the ECC to view
SEMI-47 and ITI(CBEMA) data.

EN50160:2000 Specification
EN50160:2000 “Voltage characteristics of electricity supplied by public distribution systems”
is a European standard that defines the quality of the voltage a customer can expect from
the electric utility. Although this is a European standard, it can be applied globally.
The PM850 and the PM870 evaluates the following electrical characteristics in accordance
with EN50160:

for a list of configuration and status registers.
PM870 can be divided into two categories. The first category performs evaluations during
normal operation utilizing meter data. The second category performs evaluations during
abnormal operation utilizing either standard alarms (PM850) or disturbance alarms (PM870).
The EN50160:2000 Specification sets limits for most of the evaluations. These limits are
built into the PM850 and the PM870 firmware. You can configure registers for other
evaluations and change them from the default values.
How Evaluation Results Are Reported
The PM850 and the PM870 reports evaluation data in register entries and alarm log

•
On-board alarm log entry for diagnostic alarms: When the status of an area of
evaluation is outside the range of acceptable values, an entry is made in the on-board
alarm log. This entry provides notification of the exception for a specific area of
evaluation. This notification is reported only in PowerLogic software and does not
appear on the local display.

•
On-board alarm log entry for alarms: PM850 and the PM870 alarms are used to
perform some of the evaluations. If an on-board alarm log is enabled, an entry will be
made in the on-board alarm log when any of these alarms pick up or drop out.
NOTE: Enabling PQ Advanced evaluation does not guarantee that the on-board alarm log
or waveform files are enabled or properly configured to record these events. You should
consider your requirements and configure these files and the event captures triggered by
the various alarms to provide any additional data that would be helpful to diagnose or
document an exception to this standard.

•
Select the first day of the week for evaluations. You can define the first day of the
week to be used for the EN50160 evaluations in register 3905.
•
Define the voltage interruption. The standard defines an interruption as voltage less
than 1% of nominal voltage. Because some locations require a different definition, you
can configure this value in register 3906.
•
Define allowable range of slow voltage variations. The standard defines the allowable
range of slow voltage variations to be ±10% of nominal voltage. Because some locations
require a different definition, you can configure this value in register 3907.

Evaluation During Normal Operation
When the EN50160 evaluation is enabled, the PM850 and the PM870 evaluates metered
data under normal operating conditions, “excluding situations arising from faults or voltage
interruptions.” For this evaluation, normal operating conditions are defined as all phase
voltages greater than the definition of interruption. The standard specifies acceptable
ranges of operation for these data items.
This section describes how the EN50160 standard addresses metered data.
Power Frequency
EN50160 states that the nominal frequency of the supply voltage shall be 50 Hz. Under
normal operating conditions, the power meter will perform the valuation based on the
nominal frequency set on the meter.
•
for systems with synchronous connection to an interconnected system:
— 50 Hz 1% during 99.5% of a year
— 50 Hz + 4 to -6% for 100% of the time
•
for systems with no synchronous connection to an interconnected system (for example,
power systems on some islands):
— 50 Hz 2% during 95% of a week
— 50 Hz 15% for 100% of the time
NOTE: The same range of percentages are used for 60 Hz systems.
Supply Voltage Variations
EN50160 states that, under normal operating conditions, excluding situations arising from
faults or voltage interruptions:
•
during each period of one week 95% of the ten minute mean rms values of the supply
voltage shall be within the range of U 10%.
n
•
all ten minute mean rms values of the supply voltage shall be within the range of U
+10% to -15%.

Supply Voltage Unbalance
EN50160 states that, under normal operating conditions, during each period of one week,
95% of the ten minute mean rms values of the negative phase sequence component of the
supply voltage shall be within the range 0–2% of the positive phase sequence component.
Harmonic Voltage
EN50160 states that, under normal operating conditions, during each period of one week,
95% of the ten minute mean rms values of each individual harmonic voltage shall be less
shall be less than 8%.

Evaluations During Abnormal Operation
Count of Magnitude of Rapid Voltage Changes
The standard does not specify the rate of change of the voltage for this evaluation. For this
evaluation, the PM850 and the PM870 counts a change of 5% nominal and 10%
nominal from one one-second meter cycle to the next one-second meter cycle. It counts
rapid voltage decreases and increases separately. The interval for accumulation of these
events is one week.
You can configure the number of allowable events per week in register 3917.
(Default = -32768 = Pass/Fail evaluation disabled.)
Detection and Classification of Supply Voltage Dips
According to EN50160, voltage dips are generally caused by faults in installations or the
electrical utility distribution system. The faults are unpredictable and frequency varies
depending on the type of power system and where events are monitored.
Under normal operating conditions, the number of voltage dips expected may be anywhere
from less than a hundred to nearly a thousand. The majority of voltage dips last less than
one second with a depth less than 60%. However, voltage dips of greater depth and
duration can occasionally occur. In some regions, voltage dips with depths between 10%
and 15% of the nominal voltage are common because of the switching of loads at a
customer’s installation.
Supply voltage dips are under-voltage events that last from 10 ms to 1 minute. Magnitudes
are the minimum rms values during the event. Disturbance alarms are used to detect these
events in the PM870. Standard speed under-voltage alarms are used to detect these
events in the PM850. The standard does not specifically address how to classify supply
detect and classify the dips for each phase voltage.

some locations require a different definition, you can configure this value in register 3906.
Interruptions are classified as “short” if duration 3 minutes or “long” otherwise. The

Detecting and Classifying Temporary Power Frequency Over-voltages
As stated in EN50160, a temporary power frequency over-voltage generally appears during
a fault in the electrical utility power distribution system or in a customer’s installation, and
disappears when the fault is cleared. Usually, the over-voltage may reach the value of
phase-to-phase voltage because of a shift of the neutral point of the three-phase voltage
system.
Under certain circumstances, a fault occurring upstream from a transformer will produce
temporary over-voltages on the low voltage side for the time during which the fault current
flows. Such over-voltages will generally not exceed 1.5 kV rms.

NOTE: Disturbance alarms are used to detect these events in the PM870. In the PM850,
standard speed over-voltage alarms are used to detect these events.

Operation with PQ Advanced Enabled
This section describes how PM850 and PM870 EN50160 evaluation operation is affected
when PQ Advanced evaluation is enabled.
Resetting Statistics
You can reset statistics for the EN50160 evaluations with the command 11100. A
parameter value of 9999 will reset all items. A timestamp is provided in registers for each
item indicating when the last reset was performed. This command is disabled when
revenue security is active.
NOTE: You should reset statistics when you enable EN50160 for the first time and also
whenever you make any changes to the basic meter setup such as changing the nominal
Harmonic Calculations
When PQ Advanced evaluation is enabled, the harmonic calculations will be set to update
every 10 seconds. You can select the format of the harmonic calculations to be %Nominal,
%Fundamental, or %RMS.
Time Intervals
Time intervals are synchronized with the Trending and Forecasting feature. For additional
information, refer to the Schneider Electric POWERLOGIC Web Pages Instruction Bulletin
(document # 63230-304-207). Weekly values will be posted at midnight of the morning of
the “First Day of Week” configured in register 3905. Yearly values will be based on the
calendar year.
All of the EN50160 data is stored in non-volatile memory once per hour or when an event
occurs. In the event of a meter reset, up to one hour of routine meter evaluation data will be
lost.

Alarms Allocated for PQ Advanced Evaluations
To accomplish some of the evaluations required and to provide a record of events in the
on-board alarm log, the PM850 uses standard alarms, and the PM870 uses disturbance
alarms. When the evaluation is enabled, certain alarm positions will be claimed and
automatically configured for use in the evaluation. You cannot use these alarms for other
purposes while the evaluation is enabled. These alarms include:
•
•
•
Over Voltage (PM850): Standard speed alarm positions 35-37
Under Voltage (PM850): Standard speed alarm positions 38-40
Disturbance for Voltage Swells and Sags (PM870): Disturbance alarm positions 1-3 and 7-9
NOTE: The position depends on the system type (register 3902).
“PQ Advanced” is included in the alarm label for alarms being used by this evaluation.
Setting Up PQ Advanced Evaluation from the Display
To set up the PQ Advanced evaluation in the power meter, you need to perform these
steps using the meter set-up procedure:
1. Enable the PQ Advanced evaluation.
By default, the PQ Advanced evaluation is disabled. To enable the evaluation, use the
2. Select the nominal voltage of your system.
NOTE: The EN50160 standard defines nominal voltage for low-voltage systems to be
230V line-to-line for 3-wire systems or 230V line-to-neutral for 4-wire systems.
Therefore, the default value for Nominal Voltage is 230.
If the application is a medium-voltage system, or if you want the evaluations to be
based on some other nominal voltage, you can configure this value using the display
only. PowerLogic software does not allow configuration of nominal voltage
3. Select the nominal frequency of your system.
NOTE: The EN50160 standard defines nominal frequency as 50 Hz, but the PM850 and
the PM870 can also evaluate 60 Hz systems. They cannot evaluate nominal frequency
for 400 Hz systems.
The default nominal frequency in the PM850 and the PM870 is 60 Hz. To change the
default, from the display Main Menu, select Setup > Meter > Frequency. From
PowerLogic software, see the online help file.
4. Reset the PQ Advanced Statistics.
a. Write 9999 in register 8001.
b. Write 11100 in register 8000.
5. Reset the ITI (CBEMA) and SEMI F-47 Statistics.
a. Write 9999 in register 8001.
b. Write 11200 in register 8000.

Terms
accumulated energy—energy can
event—the occurrence of an alarm
accumulate in either signed or unsigned condition, such as Under-voltage Phase
(absolute) mode. In signed mode, the
direction of power flow is considered,
and the accumulated energy magnitude
may increase and decrease. In absolute
mode, energy accumulates as a
positive, regardless of the power flow
direction.
A, configured in the power meter.
firmware—operating system within the
power meter.
fixed block—an interval selected from
1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute
increments). The power meter
calculates and updates the demand at
the end of each interval.
active alarm—an alarm that has been
set up to trigger, when certain
conditions are met, the execution of a
task or notification. An icon in the
upper-right corner of the meter
indicates that an alarm is active (!).
See also enabled alarm and disabled
alarm.
float—a 32-bit floating point value
returned by a register (see Register List
on page 79). The upper 16-bits are in
the lowest-numbered register pair. For
example, in the register 4010/11, 4010
contains the upper 16-bits while 4011
contains the lower 16-bits.
baud rate—specifies how fast data is
transmitted across a network port.
frequency—number of cycles in one
second.
block interval demand— power
demand calculation method for a block line-to-line voltages—measurement of
of time. Includes three ways to apply
calculating to that block of time; sliding
block, fixed block, or rolling block
methods.
the rms line-to-line voltages of the circuit.
line-to-neutral voltages
—measurement of the rms line-to-
neutral voltages of the circuit.
communications link—a chain of
devices connected by a
communications cable to a
communications port.
maximum demand current—highest
demand current measured in amperes
since the last reset of demand.

transformer for current inputs.
demand—average value of a quantity, demand.
such as power, over a specified interval
of time.
maximum demand voltage—highest
demand voltage measured since the
last reset of demand voltage.
device address—defines where the
power meter resides in the power
monitoring system.
maximum demand (peak demand)
—highest average load during a
specific time interval.
disabled alarm—an alarm which has
been configured but which is currently
“turned off”; i.e, the alarm will not
execute its associated task even when
its conditions are met. See also enabled
alarm and active alarm.
maximum value—highest value
recorded of the instantaneous quantity
such as Phase A Current, Phase A
Voltage, etc., since the last reset of the
minimums and maximums.
enabled alarm—an alarm that has
been configured and “turned on” and
will execute its associated task when its
conditions are met. See also disabled
alarm and active alarm.
minimum value—lowest value
recorded of the instantaneous quantity
such as Phase A Current, Phase A
Voltage, etc., since the last reset of the
minimums and maximums.
