CET Electric Technology There are two ways to calculate kVA: Mode V (Vector method): Mode S (Scalar method): There are two ways to calculate THD: THDf (based on Fundamental): where I represents the RMS value for the n harmonic and I represents the RMS value of the Fundamental harmonic.
4.1 Inputs and Outputs 4.1.1 Digital Inputs The PMC-S963-C comes standard with four self-excited Digital Inputs that are internally wetted at 24 VDC with a sampling frequency of 1000Hz and programmable debounce. The Digital Inputs on the PMC-S963-C are typically used for status monitoring which can help prevent equipment damage, improve maintenance, and track security breaches.
Predicted demand is typically used for pre-alarming and to help users reduce power consumption using a Setpoint to warn that the Demand limit may be exceeded. The PMC-S963-C provides Present Demand and Predicted Demand for P Total which can be retrieved through the Front Panel or communications.
The PMC-S963-C provides the following PQ parameters: 4.3.2.1 Harmonics The PMC-S963-C provides harmonic analysis for THD, TOHD, TEHD and individual harmonics up to the 31 order. All harmonic parameters are available on the front panel and through communications. In addition, the PMC- S963-C also provides TDD and Crest Factor measurements for current.
Crest Factor is defined as the Peak to Average Ratio (PAR), and its calculation is illustrated below: where = Peak amplitude of the waveform peak = RMS value The following table illustrates the available Voltage and Current Harmonics measurements on the PMC-S963-C. Phase A/AB Phase B/BC Phase C/CA TEHD...

S963-C to facilitate the development of 3 party communications driver for accessing information on the PMC- S963-C. For a complete Modbus Protocol Specification, please visit http://www.modbus.org. The PMC-S963-C supports the following Modbus functions: 1) Read Holding Registers (Function Code 0x03)
Table 5-3 Wiring Diagnostic Status Register 5) The PMC-S963-C has one SOE Log. The log has a Log Pointer that indicates its current logging position. The range of the Log Pointer is between 0 and 0xFFFFFFFF, and it is incremented by one for every new log generated and will roll over to 0 if its current value is 0xFFFFFFFF.
This register represents the Month when it is read. To read the Monthly Energy Log, this register must be first written to indicate to the PMC-S963-C which log to load from memory. The range of this register is from 1 to 12, which represents the Last 12 Months. For example, if the current month is 2023/7, “1”...

5.10 Time There are two sets of Time registers supported by the PMC-S963-C – Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute / Second (Registers # 60000 to 60002) and UNIX Time (Register # 60004). When sending time to the PMC-S963-C over Modbus communications, care should be taken to only write one of the two Time register sets.
Holding Registers (4XXXXX), which can be controlled with the Force Single Coil command (Function Code 0x05) or the Preset Multiple Hold Registers (Function Code 0x10). The PMC-S963-C does not support the Read Coils command (Function Code 0x01) because DO Control registers are “Write-Only”. The DO Status register 0098 should be read instead to determine the current DO status.
