Power Calculation Modes
The power calculation mode option allows you to change
the method for calculating reactive and apparent powers
in presence of high harmonics. The options work as
follows:
1. When the reactive power calculation mode is
selected, active and reactive powers are measured
directly and apparent power is calculated as:
2. This mode is recommended for electrical networks
with low harmonic distortion, commonly with THD <
5% for volts, and THD < 10% for currents. In
networks with high harmonics, the following method
is preferable.
3. When the non-active power calculation mode is
selected, active power is measured directly,
apparent power is taken as product S = V x I,
where V and I are the RMS volts and amps, and
reactive power (called non-active power) is
calculated as:

"Power Calculation Modes" below)
The value at which energy
counters roll over to zero

Auto – monthly self-reading
COM – remote via communications
Manual – from the front display
Setting this option puts the meter
into TEST mode
Test LED pulse constant - the
amount of accumulated energy (in
secondary readings) giving one
