Power Meter Characteristics
The power meter measures currents and voltages and reports in real time the rms values
for all three phases and neutral. In addition, the power meter calculates power factor, real
power, reactive power, and more.
The PM5350 is not for use on Direct Current (DC) circuits. The power meter will
incorrectly read 0 volts.

When any one-second real-time reading reaches its highest or lowest value, the power
meter saves the values in its nonvolatile memory. These values are called the minimum
and maximum (min/max) values.
From the power meter display you can:
•View all min/max values since the last reset and the reset date and time. See Table 4–
1 for a list of the minimum and maximum values stored in the power meter.
•Reset min/max values. See “Reset the Power Meter” on page 25.
All running min/max values are arithmetic minimum and maximum values. For example,
the minimum phase A–B voltage is the lowest value in the range 0 to 1200 kV that has
occurred since the min/max values were last reset.
63230-401-203A5 PowerLogic™ Power Meter PM5350
03/2021Min/Max Values for Real-Time Readings
Power Factor Min/Max Conventions
The Power Factor (PF) values are encoded into four quadrant floating point register
values. These values fall between the minimum and maximum on a continuous scale for
all real-time readings: -2 < PF ≤ 2. The minimum value represents the measurement
closest to -2 and the maximum value is the measurement closest to 2 on the scale.
NOTE: See “Power Factor Register Format” on page 71 for information on using register
values to determine power factor values.
Figure 4–1 below shows two examples of min/max values. Note that the minimum power
factor need not be leading, and the maximum power factor need not be lagging.
In Example A, the customer is metering a substation that provides power to the utility
(Energy Received). The minimum register value is -1.67 and the maximum is -0.9 with
power factor values ranging from 0.33 (leading) to 0.9 (lagging) respectively.
In Example B, the customer is being supplied power by the utility (Energy Delivered). The

Demand Calculation Methods
Demand power is the energy accumulated during a specified period divided by the length
of that period. How the power meter performs this calculation depends on the method you
select. To be compatible with electric utility billing practices, the power meter provides the
following types of demand power calculations:
•Block Interval Demand
•Synchronized Demand
•Thermal Demand
The default demand calculation is set to a fixed block with a 15 minute interval.
Block Interval Demand
In the block interval demand method, you select a “block” of time that the power meter
uses for the demand calculation. You choose how the power meter handles that block of
time (interval). Three different modes are possible:
•Sliding Block. Select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). For
•Fixed Block. Select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). The
demand intervals less than 15 minutes, the value is updated every 15 seconds. For
demand intervals 15 minutes and greater, the demand value is updated every 60
seconds. The power meter displays the demand value for the last completed interval.
power meter calculates and updates the demand at the end of each interval.
63230-401-203A5 PowerLogic™ Power Meter PM5350
03/2021Demand Readings
•Rolling Block. Select an interval and a subinterval. The subinterval must divide
evenly into the interval. For example, you might set three 5-minute subintervals for a
15-minute interval. Demand for each completed interval is updated at each
subinterval. The power meter displays the demand value for the last completed
interval.
Figure 4–2 illustrates the three ways to calculate demand power using the block method.
For illustration purposes, the interval is set to 15 minutes.

Demand Readings03/2021
Synchronized Demand
The demand calculations can be synchronized by accepting an external pulse input, a
command sent over communications.
•Input Synchronized Demand. You can set up the power meter to accept a demand
synch pulse from an external source. When the power meter sees a pulse, it starts a
new demand interval and calculates the demand for the preceding interval. The power
meter then uses the same time interval as the other meter for each demand
calculation. Figure 4–3 illustrates this point. You can use the standard digital input
installed on the meter to receive the synch pulse. When setting up this type of
demand, you select whether it will be input-synchronized block or input-synchronized
rolling block demand. The rolling block demand requires that you choose a
subinterval.

•Command Synchronized Demand. Using command synchronized demand, you can
synchronize the demand intervals of multiple meters on a communications network.
For example, if a PLC input is monitoring a pulse at the end of a demand interval on a
utility revenue meter, you could program the PLC to issue a command to multiple
meters whenever the utility meter starts a new demand interval. Each time the
command is issued, the demand readings of each meter are calculated for the same
interval. When setting up this type of demand, you select whether it will be commandsynchronized block or command-synchronized rolling block demand. The rolling block
demand requires that you choose a subinterval.
When in demand sync pulse control mode, the power meter will not end a demand
interval without a pulse. The pulse must be received within +/- 5 seconds of when
expected. If the pulse is not received in that time frame, the demand system is
reinitialized.

03/2021Demand Readings
Thermal Demand
The thermal demand method calculates the demand based on a thermal response, which
mimics thermal demand meters. The demand calculation updates at the end of each
interval. You select the demand interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). In
Figure 4–4 the interval is set to 15 minutes for illustration purposes.

Predicted Demand
The power meter calculates predicted demand for the end of the present interval for kW,

far within the present (partial) interval and the present rate of consumption. The prediction
is updated every second.
Figure 4–5 illustrates how a change in load can affect predicted demand for the interval.

Energy Readings03/2021
Peak Demand
In nonvolatile memory, the power meter maintains a running maximum for power demand
values, called “peak demand.” The peak is the highest average for each of these
readings: kWD, kVARD, and kVAD since the last reset. The power meter stores the date
and time when the peak demand occurred, as well as the peak demand during the last
incremental energy interval.
You can reset peak demand values from the power meter display. To reset all demand
values, select Maint > Reset > Global Resets > Demands. To reset power or current
demand values, select Maint > Reset > Single Resets > Demand, then select Power or
Current. See “Reset the Power Meter” on page 25 for more information.
You should reset peak demand after changes to basic power meter setup, such as CT
ratio or power system configuration.
Energy Readings
The power meter calculates and stores accumulated energy values for real, reactive, and
apparent energy. Energy is stored as Delivered, Received, Del+Rec, and Del-Rec.
You can view accumulated energy from the display. The resolution of the energy value
automatically changes from kWh to MWh (kVAh to MVARh).
Energy values can be reported over communications as 64-bit signed integers. The units
are always Wh, VARh, or VAh.
The power analysis values use the following abbreviations:
HC (Harmonic Content) =
H
= Fundamental Content
1
I
= Maximum Demand Load
L
The power meter provides the following power analysis values:
•THD. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a quick measure of the total distortion
present in a waveform and is the ratio of harmonic content to the fundamental. It
provides a general indication of the “quality” of a waveform. THD is calculated for both
voltage and current. The power meter uses the following equation to calculate THD:
•thd. An alternate method for calculating Total Harmonic Distortion. It considers the
total harmonic current and the total rms content rather than fundamental content in the
calculation. The power meter calculates thd for both voltage and current. The power
meter uses the following equation to calculate thd:

•TDD. Total Demand Distortion (TDD) evaluates the harmonic currents between an
end user and a power source. The harmonic values are based on a point of common
coupling (PCC), which is a common point where each user receives power from the
power source. The power meter uses the following equation to calculate TDD:
Do not rely solely on the power meter for alarm notifications where human or equipment
safety relies on successfully delivered notifications.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
About Alarms
The icon appears in the upper-right corner of the meter display when an alarm is
active.
If the energy/alarm LED has been configured for alarms, the energy/alarm LED flashes
when an alarm is active. See “Setting Up the Energy/Alarm LED” on page 60 for more
information.
The power meter maintains a counter for each alarm to keep track of the total number of
occurrences (see Figure 5–1).
Figure 5–1: Alarm Counters
If you make changes to the basic power meter setup, all alarms are disabled to prevent
undesired alarm operation. Confirm alarm configuration and enable required alarms.
NOTE: Only alarms that apply to the selected power system configuration can be
enabled.
The available alarms for this power meter are described in the following sections.
63230-401-203A5 PowerLogic™ Power Meter PM5350
03/2021About Alarms
Many of the 1-second alarms are three-phase alarms. Alarm setpoints are evaluated for
each of the three phases individually, but the alarm is reported as a single alarm. The
alarm pickup occurs when the first phase exceeds the alarm pickup magnitude for the
pickup time delay. The alarm is active as long as any phase remains in an alarm state.
The alarm dropout occurs when the last phase drops below the dropout magnitude for the
dropout time delay. See Figure 5–2 below.

EV1—The power meter records the date and time that the pickup setpoint and time delay
were satisfied, and the maximum value reached (Max1) during the pickup delay period
(T). Also, the power meter performs any tasks assigned to the event such as operation
of a digital output.
EV2—The power meter records the date and time that the dropout setpoint and time
delay were satisfied, and the maximum value reached (Max2) during the alarm period.
The power meter has four unary alarms. These alarms alert you when the meter powers
on after a control power loss, when the meter resets for any reason, when the meter selfdiagnostic feature detects a problem, or when the meter detects a phase rotation different
than expected.
The power meter has four digital alarms for alarming on digital input status. By default, the
digital alarms are active when the associated digital input is on. The pickup and dropout
time delays are configured in seconds.
Multi-circuit alarms are only available for setup when Multi Circuit circuit mode is selected.
See Appendix E on page 77 for information on multi-circuit alarms.
Alarm Priorities
Each alarm has a priority level. Use priorities to distinguish between events that require
immediate action and those that do not require action. See “Setting Up the Energy/Alarm
LED” on page 60 for information on configuring the alarm LED for alarm mode.
PowerLogic™ Power Meter PM5350 63230-401-203A5
Alarm Setup03/2021
•High priority—if a high priority alarm occurs, the display informs you in two ways: the
alarm LED on the display flashes until you acknowledge the alarm, and the alarm icon
blinks while the alarm is active. An alarm message is displayed while the alarm is
active. See “Viewing Unacknowledged Alarms and the Alarm History Log” on page 49
for information on acknowledging alarms.
•Medium priority—if a medium priority alarm occurs, the alarm LED and the alarm
icon blink only while the alarm is active. An alarm message is displayed while the
alarm is active.
•Low priority—if a low priority alarm occurs, the alarm LED and the alarm icon blink
only while the alarm is active. No alarm message is displayed.
•No priority—if an alarm is set up with no priority, no visible representation appears on
the display. Alarms with no priority are not entered in the alarm Log.
If multiple alarms with different priorities are active at the same time, the display shows
the alarms in the order they occurred. See “Setting Up Alarms” on page 20 for instructions
on setting up alarms from the power meter display.

Chapter 6—Input/Output Capabilities
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
• Do not use this device for critical control or protection applications where human or
equipment safety relies on the operation of the control action.
• Do not rely solely on device data to determine if your power system is functioning
correctly or meeting all applicable standards and compliances.
• Do not use device control for time-critical functions because delays can occur
between the time a control action is initiated and when that action is applied.
• Do not use digital inputs for voltage sensing applications over 36 Vdc.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
Digital inputs and outputs can be used in both Normal and Multi Circuit circuit modes. See
Appendix E on page 77 for input/output capabilities in multi circuit mode.
Digital Inputs
The power meter can accept four digital inputs designated DI1, DI2, DI3, and DI4. A
digital input detects digital signals and is event-driven. For example, the Off-to-On
transition of a digital input can be used to determine circuit breaker status, count pulses,
or count motor starts.
The power meter counts Off-to-On transitions for each input. The count can be reset
using the command interface (see Appendix D “Command Interface” on page 73) or by
performing a reset (see “Reset the Power Meter” on page 25).
The digital input has two control modes:
•Normal—Use for simple On/Off digital inputs. The digital inputs can be configured to
activate an alarm when changing status, for example, from Off to On. See “Alarms” on
page 39.
•Demand Interval Sync Pulse—Use to configure a digital input to accept a demand
sync pulse from a utility demand meter. See the Input Synchronized Demand section
of “Synchronized Demand” on page 34.

03/2021Digital Outputs
Digital Outputs
The power meter has two relay outputs, DO1 and DO2. The relay outputs have three
control modes:
•External—The default setting. The output is controlled by a command sent over the
communications link.
•Alarm—The output is controlled by the power meter in response to an alarm
condition. Multiple alarms can be associated with the same output simultaneously.
•Demand Sync—The output signals the end of a demand interval.
The relay outputs have a limited number of operations that depend on the load being
switched. Review the relay specifications (“Power Meter Specifications” on page 65) to
verify they are suitable for your application.
Depending on the selected control mode, the following behavior modes are available for
the relay outputs:
•Normal
— External
turns off when the “de-energize” command is received.
— Alarm: The output turns on when an alarm is activated and turns off when it is
deactivated.
•Timed
— External
turns off after a user-configurable time.
— Alarm: The output turns on when an alarm is activated and turns off after a user-
configurable time. The alarm may still be active after the output has turned off.
— Demand Sync: The output turns on at the end of the associated demand interval
and stays on for a user-configurable time.
•Coil Hold
— External
turns off when the “coil hold release” command is received. In the event of a
control power loss, the output remembers and returns to the state it was in when
the control power loss occurred.
— Alarm: The output turns on when an alarm is activated and turns off when the “coil
hold release” command is received.

03/2021Command Interface
Appendix D—Command Interface
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not use this device for critical control or protection applications where human or
equipment safety relies on the operation of the control action.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
Command Interface
The command interface allows you to configure the power meter by sending specific
commands using Modbus protocol. Reference the online Modbus register list for meter
commands, results, and data types. For information on accessing the register list, see
“Register List” on page 64.
A. In the Command register, enter a meter command.
B. In the Semaphore register, when using the protected command interface, enter the
semaphore you are given (see “Using the Protected Command Interface” on
page 74). The semaphore register is not used with the unprotected command
interface (see “Using the Unprotected Command Interface” on page 75).
C. In the Parameters register, enter all parameters for a meter command.
D. The Status register displays 0 when the power meter receives a command. Once the
command is completed, the status register displays the same value as the command
register.
E. The Result register indicates if the command was successful, and if not, what error
may have occurred.
F. The Data register displays the executed parameters of a successful command and
the invalid parameters based on data type of an unsuccessful command.
There are two command interfaces, protected and unprotected, described in the following
sections.
PowerLogic™ Power Meter PM5350 63230-401-203A5
Using the Protected Command Interface03/2021
Using the Protected Command Interface
To issue a meter command using the protected command interface, you must have a
command semaphore.
To get a semaphore, read the semaphore Modbus register (see the “Command Interface”
section of the online “Register List” on page 64). The power meter will return a 0 or a
nonzero number.
•If 0 is returned, someone else owns the semaphore. You must wait for the semaphore
to be available before sending a command.
•If a nonzero number is returned, you now own the semaphore. The semaphore is
provided once until it is released or has been inactive for approximately 4 minutes.
Once you have the semaphore, subsequent reads of the semaphore register will
return 0 until you release the semaphore or it times out.
To send a meter command using the protected command interface:
1. Read the semaphore register and record the meter response. This is your semaphore.
2. Build the packet to be written to the command block.
3. Write the packet as a Modbus block write (enter the command number, semaphore,
and parameters at the same time).

03/2021Using the Unprotected Command Interface
Using the Unprotected Command Interface
The unprotected command interface allows you to issue a broadcast command to multiple
meters at once. The unprotected command interface ignores the semaphore register.
Although some applications require the unprotected command interface, it is
recommended that you use the protected command interface whenever possible.
To send a meter command using the unprotected command interface:
1. Build the packet to be written to the command block.
2. Write the packet as a Modbus block write (enter the command number, any number
as the semaphore, and the parameters at the same time).

Appendix E—Multi Circuit Applications
Overview
The Multi Circuit circuit mode allows you to monitor up to three loads connected to an
electrical service with a single power meter. The power meter provides all standard
metering quantities for each circuit independent of other circuits being monitored. In multi
circuit mode, you can alarm on current, power, and power demand.
Multi Circuit mode allows for load management and balancing between circuits in a
facility. For example, in a data center you can monitor each rack of servers and
networking devices on a separate circuit. In addition, you can set up multi-level alarms to
monitor overcurrent and undercurrent conditions on each circuit.
Meter Identification
Only PM5350 meters with firmware (F/W) versions 02.00 and above can be used in a
multi-circuit application. Refer to the product label on the rear of the meter or on the meter
carton to verify the firmware version.
Figure E–1: Power Meter Firmware Version
Monitoring Circuits with Multi-Level Alarms
In Multi Circuit mode, you can set multi-level current (I) alarms, each with six alarm levels:
Normal, Low Low, Low, High, High High, and Tripped. Setting an alarm segmented with
multiple pickup and dropout setpoints allows you to gauge gradual changes in current on
each circuit. You can then monitor the annunciation of multi-level alarms to balance circuit
loads and avoid breaker trips and overheating.
ExampleA user with a 3CKT L-N system type has installed a 10 amp circuit breaker on I1 (Figure
E–2) and has established the normal expected load for that circuit is 5 amps. The user
wants to be notified if the current increases above 5 amps by 20% or by 40% of the circuit
breaker rating or if the breaker trips.
See “Multi Circuit Alarms” on page 85 for a description of all alarm parameters and setup.

Monitoring for Tripped Status with a Digital Input
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
• Do not use this device for critical control or protection applications where human or
equipment safety relies on the operation of the control action.
• Do not rely solely on device data to determine if your power system is functioning
correctly or meeting all applicable standards and compliances.
• Do not use device control for time-critical functions because delays can occur
between the time a control action is initiated and when that action is applied.
• Do not use digital inputs for voltage sensing applications over 36 Vdc.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
You can monitor the tripped status of a circuit breaker with a multi-level alarm by wiring
the circuit breaker auxiliary contact to a digital input on the power meter (Figure E–5). KW
and KW Demand alarms cannot be associated with the tripped condition.
Digital inputs are event-driven. The power meter only registers a circuit breaker trip when
there is an Off-to-On transition. A Tripped alarm event is triggered through a contact
closure and not through detection of zero current.
