CALIBRATION OVERVIEW
The method to calculate the values for the calibration registers in Chapter 3 are
described in this chapter. These registers are used to remove offset, set gain and
phase adjustments, and include (units)/LSB adjustments for all the meter outputs. The
calibration flow charts and equations presented in this section are all automated using
Microchip’s “3-phase Energy Meter Calibration Software”, downloadable from Micro-
chip’s energy metering web site. The following calibration routines are described in this
chapter.
• Active Power Calibration
• RMS Current and Voltage Calibration
• Apparent Power Calibration
The method of calibrating these three separate signal flows can be combined into 4 dif-
ferent calibration configurations. These configurations consist of supplying specific
voltages and currents at specific phase angles to the meter during calibration.
In addition, one of the 3 phases needs to be set as the “standard” phase for phase
matching. This process is described in the following sections through steps and flow
charts and is handled automatically by the calibration software described in
Chapter 6. “3-Phase Energy Meter Calibration Software”.
5.1.1
Calibration of the 3-phase power meter involves four different test configurations and
three iterations of each of these four configurations, one iteration for each phase. The
first iteration is typically done on the "standard" phase. This phase represents the
standard that the other two phases must be calibrated to.
For example, meter design example 5(10)A, I
Calibrating the three phase power meter involves these four test configurations:
1. Configuration C1 - Basic voltage V
2. Configuration C2 - Basic voltage V
3. Configuration C3 - Basic voltage V
4. Configuration C4 - 1/10 of Basic voltage V
These calibration configurations are typically steps in a sequence. Almost always,
configuration C1 is the most important and must be done first. The other configurations
require values obtained from configuration C1, but are not dependent on values
obtained from the other configurations. In other words, C1 is probably the first step,
while the other configurations can be done in any order.
For example, 220V and 5A
