Grid Solutions EPM 2200 Power Meter Chapter 1: Three-Phase Power Measurement Three-Phase Power Measurement This introduction to three-phase power and power measurement is intended to provide only a brief overview of the subject. The professional meter engineer or meter technician should refer to more advanced documents such as the EEI Handbook for Electricity Metering and the application standards for more in-depth and technical coverage of the subject.

WYE CONNECTION CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT Phase 3 Phase 1 Phase 2 Figure 1-1: Three-phase Wye Winding The three voltages are separated by 120 electrically. Under balanced load conditions the currents are also separated by 120 . However, unbalanced loads and other conditions can cause the currents to depart from the ideal 120 separation.
CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT DELTA CONNECTION Table 1.1: Common Phase Voltages on Wye Services Phase to Ground Voltage Phase to Phase Voltage 7,620 volts 13,200 volts Usually a wye-connected service will have four wires: three wires for the phases and one for the neutral.
BLONDEL’S THEOREM AND THREE PHASE MEASUREMENT CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT Figure 1-4: Phasor Diagram, Three-Phase Voltages and Currents, Delta-Connected Another common delta connection is the four-wire, grounded delta used for lighting loads. In this connection the center point of one winding is grounded. On a 120/240 volt, four-wire, grounded delta service the phase-to-ground voltage would be 120 volts on two phases and 208 volts on the third phase.

CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT BLONDEL’S THEOREM AND THREE PHASE MEASUREMENT The theorem may be stated more simply, in modern language: In a system of N conductors, N-1 meter elements will measure the power or energy taken provided that all the potential coils have a common tie to the conductor in which there is no current coil.
POWER, ENERGY AND DEMAND CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT Phase B Phase C Node "n" Phase A Figure 1-6: Three-Phase Wye Load Illustrating Kirchoff’s Law and Blondel’s Theorem Blondel's Theorem is a derivation that results from Kirchoff's Law. Kirchoff's Law states that the sum of the currents into a node is zero.
Page 13
CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT POWER, ENERGY AND DEMAND Typically, electrical energy is measured in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh). A kilowatt- hour represents a constant load of one thousand watts (one kilowatt) for one hour. Stated another way, if the power delivered (instantaneous watts) is measured as 1,000 watts and the load was served for a one hour time interval then the load would have absorbed one kilowatt-hour of energy.

CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT REACTIVE ENERGY AND POWER FACTOR Intervals (15 mins.) Figure 1-8: Energy Use and Demand As can be seen from this example, it is important to recognize the relationships between power, energy and demand in order to control loads effectively or to monitor use correctly.
Page 16
REACTIVE ENERGY AND POWER FACTOR CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT Figure 1-9: Voltage and Complex Current The voltage (V) and the total current (I) can be combined to calculate the apparent power or VA. The voltage and the in-phase current (IR) are combined to produce the real power or watts.
CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT HARMONIC DISTORTION A second type of power factor is Displacement Power Factor. Displacement PF is based on the angular relationship between the voltage and current. Displacement power factor does not consider the magnitudes of voltage, current or power. It is solely based on the phase angle differences.

HARMONIC DISTORTION CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT 1500 1000 –500 –1000 –1500 Figure 1-11: Distorted Current Waveform The distortion observed in Figure 1.11 can be modeled as the sum of several sinusoidal waveforms of frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental 60 Hz frequency.
CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT POWER QUALITY Inductive and capacitive impedance are present in all power systems. We are accustomed to thinking about these impedances as they perform at 60 Hz. However, these impedances are subject to frequency variation. XL = jwL and XC = 1/jwC At 60 Hz, w = 377;...

The EPM 2200 can be programmed using the buttons on the face plate of the meter (6.1 Programming Using the Faceplate). The meter can also be programmed using software. For a Programming Overview, see section 6.4 GE Communicator Programming Overview of this manual. For further details see the GE Communicator Instruction Manual.
DATA FORMATS APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAPPING FOR EPM 2200 Data Formats ASCII: ASCII characters packed 2 per register in high, low order and without any termination charcters. Example: “EPM2200” would be 4 registers containing 0x5378, 0x6172, 0x6B31, 0x3030. SINT16/UINT16:16-bit signed/unsigned integer. SINT32/UINT32:32-bit signed/unsigned integer spanning 2 registers.
APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAPPING FOR EPM 2200 MODBUS REGISTER MAP The Mantissa is 11000010001110110111001 binary. With the implied leading 1, the Mantissa is (1).C23B72 (hex). The Floating Point Representation is therefore -1.75871956 x 2 Decimal equivalent: -1800.929 Exponent = the whole number before the decimal point Note Mantissa = the positive fraction after the decimal point NOTE...
