5 Operation manual

1 Basic information

M133C Three (single) phase power calibrator is a multifunction calibrator, to be used primarily as a standard for calibration laboratories. It can be used for calibration of any measuring instrument which measures voltage, current, power, energy, phase and frequency. The calibrator is equipped with a built-in multimeter, which can be used simultaneously with output functions. Transducers of various types, regulators and sensing units can be therefore checked without the need for additional measuring instruments. M133C model is equipped with special functions for power line voltage analyzers testing. It can generate calibrated harmonic and interharmonic distortion, fluctuation harmonics, flickers, ramp signals and others. M133Ci model is delivered without the option of harmonic/interharmonic functions.

Basic features of the calibrator include generation of calibrated AC voltage in the range of 1 V to 600 V and DC voltage in the range of 1 V to 280 V, DC and AC current in the range of 5 mA to 30 A. Phase shift for all outputs (3x voltage and 3x current) can be set independent for each output. The best accuracy of the calibrator is 0.025 % for voltage and 0.035 % for current. Internal ranges (voltage 10, 30, 70, 140, 280 V and 600 Vac, current 0.3, 1, 2, 5, 10 and 30 A) are suitable for accurate testing of power transducers. Maximum frequency range is 15 Hz to 1000 Hz.

Internal multimeter with 20 mA, 10 V and 10 kHz (0.02 % accuracy) can be used to measure normalized signals coming from transducers.

The calibrator includes many other features which facilitate easy use. For example the possibility to save the actual setting into the internal memory, currently displayed uncertainty of the output signal, calibration and testing procedures etc. The concept of calibrator control and indication of its status is based on flat luminiscent display, which provides all necessary information. The calibrator is controlled by opening menus on the display and selection from menus. Frequently used functions are assigned direct-control keys. The calibrator comes with standard IEEE488 bus, RS-232 serial line and Ethernet connector, which allow the calibrator to be controlled from a PC.

The calibrator can easily fit within calibration systems featuring Power software support.

Calibrator is available in Three or Single phase version. Both versions look the same. The only difference is that the Single phase version doesn’t contain channels 2 and 3. Single phase version can be upgraded to Three phase version by the manufacturer.

4.5 Generation of electric energy

The calibrator can generate exact value of electric power and energy. Energy function modes provides output voltage at VOLTAGE OUTPUT HI – LO terminals and output current at CURRENT OUTPUT HI – LO terminals. Depending on the setting of the calibrator, voltage up to 600 Vef can be present at the terminals.

Energy pulse output (only for calibrators with this output) Energy pulse output is located on the rear panel (BNC connector in the right bottom corner).

Frequency of pulses is proportional to the energy generated by calibrator and is defined by the energy meter constant (can be changed in setup menu).

There are two types of output selectable in setup menu:

- open collector (up to 30V / 100mA)

- open collector with the pull-up resistor 150Ω connected to +5V Frequency range of energy pulse output: 0.02 Hz to 1 MHz

Control in the energy mode

 Press “E” button on the calibrator and then select AC or DC mode by pressing „AC“ or „DC”

button. The display shows the following data:

* main value – running energy counter in selected unit of measurement VAs, Ws, VArs * deviation between energy meter and calibrator – calculation is based on pulses generated

by meter * voltage at VOLTAGE OUTPUT HI-LO terminals * current through CURRENT OUTPUT HI-LO terminals

* power factor or the phase shift between the voltage and current in °. * frequency, if AC power is selected * meter constant (number of pulses per kWh/kVAh/kVArh generated by energy meter)

MEATEST M133C Electric Power/Energy Calibrator

Operation manual 34

* energy counting method (control mode) * uncertainty of energy and deviation

 Set desired energy parameters using numeric keyboard, rotary knob or cursor buttons. Output

power is not yet connected to the output terminals.

 Connect the instrument to be calibrated to VOLTAGE OUTPUT HI-LO and CURRENT

OUTPUT HI-LO terminals or short the CURRENT OUTPUT HI-LO terminals.

 Select the Control mode.  Press ON button.  Green LED is lit above the “On” button to indicate the connection of simulated electrical

power to the output terminals. The calibrator starts energy dose generation. Main value displays running energy, control mode parameters displays running time, counted pulses or measured frequency. Current terminals are disconnected as soon as energy batch is finished. Voltage terminals are disconnected only if parameter “Maintain Voltage Signal” is set to “Off”. Otherwise the voltage terminals are disconnected after pressing “OFF” button.

Ways of energy counting (Control)

Calibration of Energy meter:

M133C Electric Power/Energy Calibrator MEATEST

35 Operation manual

There are different ways how to control the energy dose counting. Packet (Time counting)

The simplest (but less accurate) way is to count the time. Counter / Timer (Pulse counting)

The other way is to count pulses from energy meter. This method is called „rolling start“ method. Meter must be connected to input IN1 or IN2. Press the ON key on the calibrator. The calibrator

starts to count energy after counting “Warm-up” pulses from the meter (rolling start). Counting is finished after the set number of “Test” pulses is reached. The calibrator disconnects the output terminals and shows energy delivered between set number of “Test” pulses. Calibrator also

displays deviation of the meter in % (meter constant must be defined). In Counter mode is measuring interval defined by number of pulses. In Timer mode is measuring interval defined by time.

Free run (Frequency measuring) Calibrator measures frequency of pulses from measured meter. Meter must be connected to input IN1, IN2 or Meter. Deviation between meter and calibrator is continuously calculated and displayed (meter constant must be defined). Calibrator displays deviation between measured and internal "reference frequency" in %.

Use “Control” softkey to open the energy counting method selection menu. Select the required

method using cursor buttons or the rotary knob. Confirm the selection by pressing the rotary knob or the “Select” softkey.

Power factor polarity (Lead/Lag softkey) In case that phase shift between voltage and current is expressed as power factor you can change

its polarity using „Lead/Lag“ softkey. The Lead polarity presents capacity load (current before

voltage). The Lag polarity presents inductance load (voltage before current).

Power units (Units softkey) The calibrator can display AC power (energy) in one of three ways:

 apparent power in VA (VAs)  active power in W (Ws)  reactive power in Var (VArs)

Use “Units” softkey to open the units selection menu. Select the required expression using cursor

buttons or the rotary knob. Confirm the selection by pressing the rotary knob or the “Select” softkey. The value of displayed power is recalculated together with new units selection. DC power (energy) can be expressed only in W (Ws).

The calibrator can display the phase relation of output voltage and current as power factor (–1 to

+1) or as phase shift in degrees (0 to 359.99 °). Main menu is used to change the method of

displaying the phase relation.

M133C Electric Power/Energy Calibrator MEATEST

49 Operation manual

7 Calibration mode

The calibrator includes calibration procedure, which allows recalibration of the calibrator. Recalibration can be performed using the buttons and menu in the calibrator.

7.1 Calibration principles

The instrument can be calibrated:

 completely, i.e. all functions are calibrated in all recommended points  partially, i.e. only selected functions are calibrated in all recommended points  partially, i.e. only selected functions are calibrated in selected points

Complete calibration consists of all partial calibrations performed in the order defined by the calibration menu. If an item of the calibration menu, e.g. „Voltage DC#1” is selected, it is not necessary to calibrate all ranges defined by the calibration algorithm. If new calibration of all ranges is not possible (e.g. the required standard is not available), old calibration data can be confirmed, i.e. current step of the calibration can be skipped.

AC voltage (Voltage AC#x) calibration is performed by setting 2 fixed points for all voltage ranges. The frequency is 55 Hz.

AC current (Current AC#x) calibration is performed by setting 2 fixed points for all current ranges. The frequency is 55 Hz.

DC voltage (Voltage DC#x) calibration is performed by setting 2 fixed points for all voltage ranges and for both polarities (+ and -).

DC current (Current DC#x) calibration is performed by setting 2 fixed points for all current ranges and for both polarities (+ and -).

AC modulation voltage (Voltage MOD#x, model M133C only) calibration is performed by setting 2 fixed points for all voltage ranges. The frequency is 55 Hz. This calibration values are used in P Harmonic and P Interharmonic function modes.

AC modulation current (Current MOD#x, model M133C only) calibration is performed by setting 2 fixed points for all current ranges. The frequency is 55 Hz. This calibration values are used in P Harmonic and P Interharmonic function modes.

Multimeter (Meter) calibration consist in calibration of ranges 10V DC, 20mA DC and 10 kHz.

Calibration interruption can be performed in any point of the calibration

procedure. However this particular calibration influences parameters of the

calibrator.

Accuracy of the calibrator is guaranteed when full calibration was done.

Operation manual 52

Softkeys have the following meaning: Write new calibration value is entered into the memory, old value is lost. The calibrator

returns to the previous menu.

Skip current calibration step is skipped, old value is retained in the memory. The calibrator

returns to the previous menu.

Moreover, the display shows the range which is being calibrated (Range 10Vac), and the value to be set at the external standard multimeter (value in brackets 1V).

Setting the new calibration data Use cursor buttons, rotary knob or numeric keyboard to set such main data on the display, when

the output signal measured by external standard multimeter reaches the required calibration point. When the standard output value is reached, press Write softkey to write new calibration value to the calibration memory. If you press Exit softkey, the calibrator ignores the new value and old value is retained.

The procedure is repeated for all calibration points of the selected function. If you press Exit softkey the calibrator returns back to the previous menu level.

Termination of calibration Calibration can be terminated by repeated press the Exit softkey until the calibrator returns to the

Main menu.

Calibration points Each function of the calibrator has assigned fixed calibration points which have to be set during

the calibration. The calibrator needs no calibration of the following parameters:

 frequency  phase relationship (power factor) of output voltage and current in AC power and AC

energy generation modes

 DC and AC power and energy

Operation manual 62

9 Maintenance

The multifunction calibrator is electronic instrument with microprocessor control. All blocks which are heavily loaded during the operation are cooled by a fan.

Rules for correct operation

Especially the following rules should be adhered to guarantee correct operation of the calibrator:

 The calibrator can only be switched on and off by pressing the mains switch located at the rear

panel.

 Do not connect the calibrator to other voltage than set by the voltage selector.  Do not block the vent openings located at the rear panel and bottom panel.  The calibrator must not be operated in dusty environment. It was designed to be used in a

laboratory.

 No liquid or small objects can be permitted to enter the calibrator through the vent openings..  Do not switch the calibrator outside its operating temperature range.  Connect the instruments to be calibrated to proper output terminals. There is no way of

protecting the calibrator from the damage caused by some improper connections.

 Do not damage the output terminals by plugging in “bananas” thicker than the terminals were

designed for.

 Whenever possible, use the setup menu to ground Lo output terminals (GndU On, GndI On).  Do not overload the power stages by leaving the calibrator switched on with the load

connected for a long time, especially on 30 A current range and 140 V and 280 V voltage ranges.

 If the instruments to be calibrated are not connected to calibrator’s output terminals using

original cables, ensure that cables suitable for the calibration voltage and current are used. Maximum output voltage can reach 600 V AC and the maximum output current can reach 30 A AC.

Regular maintenance

The calibrator does not require any special maintenance of electrical or mechanical parts. If is gets dirty, the case and the display can be cleaned by a wool rag moistened with alcohol.

The calibrator should be calibrated in the recommended 12-month intervals. A calibration center should perform the calibration.

M133C Electric Power/Energy Calibrator MEATEST

63 Operation manual

What to do in case of failure

If an obvious failure occurs during the operation (e.g. the display is not lit, the fan is not turning), the calibrator must be switched off immediately. First, check the fuse located in the power cord receptacle. Procedure is following:

 Remove the end of power cord from the mains connector at the rear panel.  Insert the blade of a flat screwdriver into the opening cut in the mains voltage selector and pry

out the fuse holder.

 Remove the fuse. Replace it with new fuse of the same rating if the fuse was broken.  Replace the fuse holder, reconnect the power cord and switch on the calibrator. If the problem

persists, contact the manufacturer.

If an obvious fault is evidenced, e.g. a measurement range or an operating mode is not functional, the user cannot correct the fault. Contact the manufacturer.

Hidden faults can cause different symptoms and be caused by different causes. Usually, they cause instability of some parameter. Hidden defects can be caused by unacceptable distortion, degraded insulation etc. In this case contact the manufacturer.

Sometimes it seems that the calibrator has hidden defect, when the rules for correct operation are not adhered to. In this case, the fault is caused by the operator. Most frequent cases of false “hidden defects”:

 mains voltage out of tolerance limits or unstable  wrong grounding of the measurement circuit (bad connection of the ground terminal of the

mains outlet, or several ground connection when grounding loops are formed)

 proximity to sources of intensive influence, whose products are spread through the mains or

propagated by the electromagnetic field

10 Verification test

Procedure recommended for verifying parameters of the calibrator is described in this chapter. During tests it is not necessary access to the interior of the instrument.

Required equipment Following instruments are required for performance verification test:  81/2 digit multimeter type HP3458A or Fluke 8508A, or other type with accuracy 0.01 % on

AC voltage

 Multifuntion calibrator MEATEST M142 or M140 with DCranges 10V, 20mA and AC range

10V / 15kHz.

 resistance shunt 10 m, 100 m Burster 1280, or other type with accuracy 0.01% with known

AC/DC difference to 1 kHz

 counter HP 53181A, HO 53130, BM 642 or other with accuracy 0,001 %  powermeter 0.02- 0.05 % like Zimmer LMG95REF, Applied Precision RS2110S

HP8903A Distortion analyzer and scope with bandwidth min. 20 MHz. 100 khz bandwidth is recommended for THD measuring of AC signals.

Configuration of the calibrator Calibrator should be tested directly from the front panel terminals To suppress influence of noise

or interference with power line frequency in measuring circuit it is recommended following setting of the calibrator (in Main menu):

1. Current coil Coil Off

2. Voltage sources GND GndU On

3. Current sources GND GndI On

Note: If it is grounded neither calibrator nor standard meter, higher level can occur on the

output terminals.

In general, when calibrator is connected to the standard meter, ground loops can be

arise through power line connection. Ground loops can result apparently worse noise, short term stability or non-harmonic distortion of output signal. If necessary use toroidal chokes to suppress this products.

Use sin waveform of the output signal on all AC tests.

65 Operation manual

Performance verification may be performed after warm-up period i.e. 1 hour after switching on. Calibrator have to be in temperature stabilize condition at minimum 8 hours before performance verification test is started.

Basic steps of the performance verification test Verification procedure consists of following steps:

 30 V DC voltage test with linearity check  DC voltage internal ranges 10 V, 70 V, 140 V, 280 V test  30 V AC voltage test with linearity check  AC voltage internal ranges 10 V, 70 V, 140 V, 280 V, 600 V test  1 A DC current test with linearity check  DC current internal ranges 300 mA, 2 A, 5 A, 10 A, 30 A test  AC current internal ranges 300 mA, 2 A, 5 A, 10 A, 30 A test  AC/DC power 480W, 2400W (AC power with PF 0, +0.5, -0.5) test  Frequency nominal value 1 kHz test  Multimeter internal ranges 10 VDC, 20 mADC, frequency 10 kHz test  Distortion checking of AC voltage, range 30 V.

Procedure Following part describes procedure of performance verification test. Recommended measuring

points are the same as the points in table of limits (see tables bellow).

1. Connect the calibrator to the mains and let them switched on for at least one hour in a

laboratory at 231 oC.

2. Connect voltage input of the standard multimeter to the voltage output terminals of the

calibrator. Set appropriate parameters on the standard multimeter to achieve its best accuracy.

3. Perform 30 VDC linearity, DC voltage, 30 VAC linearity, AC voltage tests according to the

tables I, II, III, IV. Deviations should not exceed specified limits.

4. Connect current input of standard multimeter to the current output terminals of the calibrator.

Set appropriate parameters on the standard multimeter to meet its best accuracy.

5. Perform 1 ADC linearity, DC current, AC current tests according to the tables V, VI, VII.

Deviations should not exceed specified limits.

6. Connect standard powermeter to the appropriate output and current terminals of the calibrator.

MEATEST M133C Electric Power/Energy Calibrator

Operation manual 66

7. Perform AC/DC power test according to the table VIII. Deviations should not exceed specified

limits.

8. Connect output voltage terminals of the calibrator to the counter. Set output voltage 5 VAC,

frequency 1 kHz.

9. Perform frequency test according to the table IX. Deviation should not exceed specified limit.

10. Connect input voltage terminals of calibrator’s internal multimeter to the output terminals of

the standard calibrator. Set appropriate value of frequency and DC voltage according to the table X.

11. Perform multimeter test in points FREQUENCY 10000Hz and 10 VDC. Deviations should

not exceed limits in the tables bellow. Note : Because accuracy of calibrator output is not accurate enough in all points, use

external standard counter (frequency) or multimeter (DC voltage) connected in parallel to the output terminals to obtain exact value on the output.

12. Connect input current terminals of calibrator’s internal multimeter to the output terminals of

the standard calibrator. Set appropriate value of DC current according to the table X.

13. Perform multimeter test on range 20 mA DC according to the table X. Deviation should not

exceed specified limit.

14. Connect distortion meter to the voltage output terminals of the calibrator. Set output voltage 10

VAC, frequency 1000 Hz and sin waveform.

15. Check harmonic distortion of output signal. It should not exceed 0.05%.

If calibrator is out of limits is in some points of this test, appropriate function and range should be recalibrated. It is not necessary to recalibrate all functions, but only this one, which does not meet specification. See chapter Calibration mode, where recalibration procedure is described.

11 System control

The calibrator is equipped with RS232 serial line, IEEE488 bus and the TCP/IP Ethenet connection. System connectors are located at the rear panel. For the remote control to work properly, interface parameters must be set in the system menu. For RS232 line communication speed can be set (1200 to 115200 Bd). For IEEE488 bus, an address from range 0 to 30 is allowed. For Ethernet connection can be set IP address. The calibrator can be only controlled by one of interfaces at a time. It is therefore necessary to select one of the interfaces (RS232/Ethernet/IEEE488) using the system menu.

11.1 IEEE488 bus properties

The instrument performs the following functions based on IEEE488 bus commands:

SH1, AH1, T5, L3, RL1, DC1, SR1

The instrument also recognizes the following general commands: DCL Device Clear reset the calibrator

SDC Selected Device Clear reset the calibrator EOI End or Identify Message Terminator close the message GTL Go To Local close remote control mode LLO Local Lock Out local control locked SPD Serial Poll Disable close serial message status SPE Serial Poll Enable release serial message

status

11.2 RS232 serial line setting

To transfer the data using RS232 bus, 8N1 data format is used, i.e. each data word includes 8 bits, no parity and one stop bit. The communication speed can be set using the system menu. Available values: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 76800 and 115200 Bd.

11.3 Command syntax

The commands described in this chapter can be issued through all buses (RS232/Ethernet/IEEE488).

All commands listed in this chapter are explained in two columns: KEYWORD and PARAMETERS.

KEYWORD column includes the name of the command. Each command includes one or more keywords. If a keyword is in brackets ( [ ] ), it is not mandatory. Non-mandatory commands are used only to achieve compatibility with language standard SCPI.

Capitals designate the abbreviated form of the commands; extended form is written in lowercase. Command parameters are in brackets (<>); each parameter is separated using a comma.

Parameters in brackets ( [ ] ) are not mandatory. Line ( | ) means “or” and is used to separate several alternative parameters.

Semicolon ‘;’ is used to separate more commands written on one line. E.g. :SAF:LR 100.5;:OUTP ON

Note (only for RS232 and Ethernet): Each command must end in <cr> or <lf>. Both codes <crlf> can be used at the same time. The calibrator performs all commands written on one line of the program after it receives <cr>, <lf> or <crlf> code. Without this code, the program line is ignored.

Description of abbreviations

<DNPD> = Decimal Numeric Program Data, this format is used to express decimal number with or without the exponent.

<CPD> = Character Program Data. Usually, it represents a group of alternative character

parameters. E.g. {ON | OFF | 0 | 1}.

MEATEST M133C Electric Power/Energy Calibrator

Operation manual 72

<SPD> = String Program Data. String value consisting from more parts. It is used for date/time

setting.

? = A flag indicating a request for the value of the parameter specified by the command.

No other parameter than the question mark can be used.

(?) = A flag indicating a request for the parameter specified by the command. This

command permits a value to be set as well as requested. <cr> = carriage return. ASCII code 13. This code executes the program line. <lf> = line feed. ASCII code 10. This code executes the program line.
