The SAMES SA9605A is an enhancement
of the SA9105E and SA9105F, as no external
capacitors are needed for the A/D converters.
The SAMES SA9605A Three Phase Power/
Energy metering integrated circuit generates
a pulse rate output, the frequency of which
is proportional to the absolute power consumption. The SA9605A performs the
calculation for active power.
The method of calculation takes the power
factor into account.
Energy consumption is determined by the
power measurement being integrated over
time.
The output of this innovative universal three
phase power/energy metering integrated
circuit, is ideally suited for applications such
as residential and industrial energy metering

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The SAMES SA9605A is a CMOS mixed signal Analog/Digital integrated circuit, which
performs three phase power/energy calculations over a range of 1000:1, to an overall
accuracy of better than Class 1.
The SA9605A in both DIP-20 and SOIC-20 package options is functionally similar to the
SA9105E and SA9105F with the advantage of no external loop capacitors.
The integrated circuit includes all the required functions for 3-phase power and energy
measurement such as oversampling A/D converters for the voltage and current sense
inputs, power calculation and energy integration. Internal offsets are eliminated through
the use of cancellation procedures.
The SA9605A generates pulses, the frequency of which is proportional to the power
consumption. Two frequency outputs (FOUT1 and FOUT2) are available. The pulse rate
follows the instantaneous power measured.

1.Power Calculation
In the Application Circuit (Figure 1), the mains voltages from Line 1, Line 2 and Line
3, are converted to currents and applied to the voltage sense inputs IVN1, IVN2 and
IVN3.
The current levels on the voltage sense inputs are derived from the mains voltage
(3 x 230 VAC) being divided down through voltage dividers to 14V. The resulting
input currents into the A/D converters are 14µA through the resistors R15, R16 and
R17.
For the current sense inputs the voltage drop across the current transformers
terminating resistors are converted to currents of 16µA for rated conditions, by
means of resistors R8, R9 (Phase 1); R10, R11 (Phase 2); and R12, R13 (Phase 3).
The signals providing the current information are applied to the current sensor
inputs: IIN1, IIP1; IIN2, IIP2; and IIN3, IIP3.
In this configuration, with the mains voltage of 3 x 230 V and rated currents of 80A,
the output frequency of the SA9605A energy metering integrated circuit at FOUT1
is 1.16kHz. In this case 1 pulse will correspond to an energy consumption of 3 x 18.4
kW/1160Hz = 47.6 Ws.
The output frequency at FOUT1 and FOUT2 represents the absolute sum of the
energy measured on all three phases, regardless of the direction of energy flow
through the current sensors. This measurement method will assist meter
manufacturers to circumvent meter tampering by reversal of the phases.

2.Analog Input Configuration
The current and voltage sensor inputs are illustrated below.
These inputs are protected against electrostatic discharge through clamping
diodes, in conjunction with the amplifiers input configuration.
The feedback loops from the outputs of the amplifiers AI and AV generate virtual
shorts on the signal inputs. Exact duplications of the input currents are generated
for the analog processing circuitry.

These waveforms demonstrate how to establish the direction of energy flow as well
as the phase from which the energy is measured. The direction of energy indicated
on pin DIR is HIGH for POSITIVE energy flow and LOW for NEGATIVE energy flow,
for the entire LOW period of the FOUT1 pulse. The phase to which the direction
indication on the DIR pin refers can be ascertained by counting the number of falling
edges on the DIR pin prior to the falling edge of the FOUT1 pulse. The supervision
of the DIR pin can be accomplished with a µController.
Although FOUT1 has a fixed frequency output, the table below shows the various
frequencies selectable for rated conditions on FOUT2.

The frequencies shown in the above table were chosen to allow a 4 - 3 - 2 scaling ratio
for rated conditions. This facility provides ease of interface with applications which use
the same post divider with mechanical counter or unchanged microcontroller software
for different current rated kWh meters.

The only changes which now have to be implemented to interface the device to different
rated systems are: change the current sense resistors; and select the required PGM0
and PGM1.
No change to the post divider or micro-controller software is required if the FOUT2 pin
is used as described.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
In the Application Circuit (Figure 1), the components required for a three phase power
metering application are shown.
Terminated current sensors (current transformers) are connected to the current sensor
inputs of the SA9605A through current setting resistors (R8 ..R13).
The resistor values for standard operation are selected for an input current of 16µA into
the SA9605A, at the rated line current.
The values of these resistors are calculated as follows:
Phase 1:
R8 = R9 = (IL1/16µA) * R18/2
Phase 2:
R10 = R11 = (IL2/16µA) * R19/2
Phase 3:
R12 = R13 = (IL3/16µA) * R20/2

3. The values should be selected so that the input currents into the voltage sense inputs
(virtual ground) are set to 14µA for rated line voltage. Capacitors C1, C2 and C3 are for
decoupling and phase compensation.
