POWER AND FILTER-BASED RMS MEASUREMENT
ALGORITHMS
Filter-Based Total RMS
The
ADE9000
offers current and voltage rms measurements
that are calculated by squaring the input signal, low-pass
filtering, and then taking the square root of the result.
The low-pass filter, LPF2, extracts the rms value, attenuating
harmonics of a 50 Hz or 60 Hz fundamental by at least 64 dB so
that, at full scale, the variation in the calculated rms value is
very small, ±0.064% error. Note that the rms reading variation
increases as the input signal gets smaller because the noise in
the measurement increases.
Note that the xRMS register does not read 0 with the xP and xN
inputs shorted together.
The filter based rms has a bandwidth of 3.2 kHz
The rms calculations, one for each channel, AIRMS, BIRMS,
CIRMS, NIRMS, AVRMS, BVRMS, and CVRMS, are updated
every 8 ksps. The ISUMRMS calculation uses the same method
to calculate ISUMRMS, where ISUM = IA + IB + IC ± IN, and
also updates at 8 ksps (see the Neutral Current RMS, Vector
Current Sum section for more information).
The xRMS value at full scale is 52,702,092 (decimal). The full
scale is a function of PGA gain.

For high performance at small input signals, below 1000:1, it is
recommended to calibrate the offset of this measurement using
the xRMSOS register. It is recommended to calibrate the offset
at the smallest input signal that requires good performance; do
not calibrate this measurement with zero input signal.
The following equation indicates how the xRMSOS register
value modifies the result in the xRMS register.

For example, if the expected the AIRMS at 1000:1 is
52,702,092/1000 = 52,702 (decimal) and the AIRMS register
reading is 53280 (decimal), the offset calibration register is
