%Loss Constants
The EM720 uses pre-calculated loss constants for correcting
meter readings. All calculations are performed by Pas using
transformer and power line data, and then the resulting loss
constants are downloaded to the meter. If power line losses
are included in compensation, they are added to the loss
constants.
For more information on the loss calculation techniques, see
the Handbook for Electricity Metering, 10-th edition, by the
Edison Electric Institute.
To configure loss constants in the meter:
1. Specify the locations of the meter and a point of
billing. The losses will be added to, or subtracted from
the measured power depending on the locations of the
metering and billing points. Use the picture and table
below to check your settings.

Description
Defines the location of the billing point:
far end – near the supply source or near the load,
transformer end – near the power transformer.
Defines the number of metering elements in the
meter depending on the wiring mode. Select 2 for
3OP2/3OP2, and 3 for 4LN3/4LL3 wiring modes.
