Introduction
The Bulletin 1403, Powermonitor II, is uniquely
designed and developed to meet the needs of
producers and consumers of electric power. The
Powermonitor II is a microprocessor based
monitoring and control device well suited for a
variety of applicat ions. Use of voltage, curr ent, status
inputs, and relay connections allows the
Powermonitor II to provide monitoring and control
information . This data is u seful in substation and
distribution centers, electrical control panels, and
many utility, commercial, and industrial applications
including mo tor control centers. The Powermonitor
II is a sophisticated modern alternative to traditional
electro-mechanical metering devices. One
Powermonitor II can replace many individual
transducers and meters within a single package. The
Powermonitor II is operato r friendly and provides the
user with easy to understand, accurate information in
a compact economical package.
A second op tional feature allows for remote
communications through the use of a Smart
Communications Card co-located with the Master
Module. Both the Display Module and the Smart
Communications Card are microprocessor based
providing better resolution, accuracy, and speed to
the Bulletin 1403 Master Module. The bulletin 1403
Powermonitor II and the Communication Cards are
Year 2000 compliant.
Performance Features
The Powermonitor II performance features include:
Vo ltage , cur rent, p ower me asure ments and dis pla y
measurements and events
Harmonic Analysis (1403-MM only)
•
Simultaneou s multi-channel oscillogr aph
•
recordings (1403-MM only)
General Description
The Bulletin 1403 Display Module, an optional
input/ output device, can be used to set up and
configure the Bulletin 1403 Master Module for
operation. This is accomplished through the Display
Module’s front panel which includes four tactile
operator buttons and a liquid crystal display. All
communications between the Display Module and
Master Module are conducte d over a serial fiber optic
link. (The Display Module is easily mounted into a
typical instrument panel analog meter cutout.)
Device Configuration
The Powermonitor II comes from the factory with
default settings but can be configured for local sitespecific requirements. This is accomplished using the
Display Module or one of the Communications Cards
which allow operation and configuration parameters
to be sent to the Master Module.
In conjunction with the Communications Cards, a
personal computer running RSPower™ or
RSEnergy™ software can be sent to the Master
Module.

Quick Start - Minimum Device Configuration
At a minimum, the following steps MUST be
followed for proper operation of your Powermonitor
II. Any other device configuration options are only
required fo r operation of additional functions of the
Powermonitor II.
1. Configure the PT and CT ratios to match your
system. Remember, for systems with greater than
120 volts applied to the voltage inputs, the PT
secondary must be configured to greater than 137
volts to switch to high voltage mode. For
example: a 600 V
L-L
(347 V
) direct-connect
L-N
system is configured with a PT ratio of 347:347.
2. Configure the Voltage Mode to match your syste m
wiring. Use the wiring diagrams in Chapter 2,
Figure 2.2 through Figure 2.13 to select the
appropriate mode.

Both versions of the Powermonitor II can use the
1403-NSC Smart Communications Card for
communications via Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, RS232 or RS-485, the 1403-NENET card for
communications via Ethernet, or the 1403-NDNET
card for communications via DeviceNet. Refer to
Publication 1403-5.1 Smart Communications Card
Instruction Sheet, Publication 1403-5.3 Ethernet
Communications Card Instruction Sheet, or Publication 1403-5.4 DeviceNet Communication
Card Instruction Sheet for additional information.
Software and System Integration
An IBM PC, or compatible, host computer may
communicate with the Powermonit or II via RS-232C,
RS-485, R I/O, DeviceNet, or Ethernet using:
RSPower
•
RSView
•

Communications Card Instruction Sheet)
RS-232C/RS-485 may be used to support up to 124
Powermonitor IIs per sub net, 250 per network.
PLC Configuration
Setup/Monitoring Software
The Windows-based RSPower and RSEnergy
software packages are currently available from
Rockwell Software for configuring, monitoring, and
control of the Powermonitor II units. This software
package is designed t o b e i nte gr ate d wi th RSVi ew or
function as a stand alone package. It is capable of
graphically displaying a system and its components
and providing real time data and graphics on the
same screen. Real time data can be displayed in
digital or analog presentation using preconfigured
gauges. Spectral analysis, oscillograph recordings,
logging, and trending are also easily configured.
When either software is used in conjunction with
RSView, data can be ente red into the tag database
editor. Configuration and real time data can be
downloaded and retrieved from any Bulletin 1400/
1403 Powermonitor on the system.
Note:Spectral analysis and oscillog raph recordings
are only available through the 1403-MM
only.
Control Relays
The Powermonitor II provi de s t wo hi gh s peed SPDT
control relays which may function as:
Alarm relays
•
Setpoint relays
•
Remote control relays operated by command via
•
the communications port or Display Module.
Relays controlled by user-defined conditions
•
• kWH or kVARH pulse outputs
• Relay operations may be logged to a PC printer
output using a software package.
Certain circumstances may require a number of
Powermonitor IIs to provide feedback while
monitoring and control li ng a fa cility. To manage this
effectively, Allen-Bradley PLC processor
communication ports can be integrated to
communicate and respond to the gathered
information.
Status Inputs
The Powermonitor II has four self-powered status
inputs. These inputs c an b e used to sense and control
the state of an external contact. Each of the status
inputs has a counter associated with it. The status of
these inputs can be viewe d from the Powe rmonit or II
Display Module. They may also be viewed and
logged from RSPower or RSEnergy software or user
generated software.
1403-IN001A-US-P
1-4Product Description
Data Logging
The Powermonitor II provides three data logs: the
Event log, the Min/Max log, and the Snapshot log.
Each record of the three logs is date and time
stamped to the nearest hundredth of a second.
Event Log
The Event log consists of the 100 most recent events
that occurred in the Powermonitor II. Such events
consist of power up/ power d own, set point acti vation ,
new configuration data, etc.
Min/Max Log
The Min/Max log records the minimum and
maximum values for 84 parameters for the 1403-MM
and 63 parameters for the 1403-LM. These items
consist of voltage, current, power, total harmonic
distortion, etc. This log can be disabled to increase
real time metering update rate performance.
Both types of oscillography can be triggered
manually or as the result of a setpoint. All channels
are continuously sampled at a 10.8 kHz sample rate.
Operational Characteristics
1403-MM
The Powermonitor II MM module has selectable
accuracy (+/- 0.05% no minal) an d update r ates (28 to
90 ms) by changing various configuration
parameters. If update rates are critical, then a user
can select a modest filtering mode or disable
unnecessary features. However, if maximum
accuracy is a ne cessity fo r a specif ic applicat ion, then
the user can select an additional filtering mode. The
Powermonitor II allows a user to trade update speed
for accuracy.
1403-LM
Snapshot Log
The Snapshot log consis ts of 5 0 r ecords . Each re cord
consists of 46 parameters. These parameters include
voltage, current, power, power factor, etc. This log
can be updated on a periodic basis set by the
configuration data, and/or it can be updated
asynchronously as a result of a setpoint action.
Oscillography (1403-MM only)
The Powermonitor II provides two types of
oscillography:
(1)
• Simultaneous 7-channel 2-cycle
recording
• User configurable simultaneous 2-channel 12-
(2)
cycle
oscillograph rec ording wit h up to 8 cycles
of pretrigger data.
oscillograph
The Powermonitor II LM module has a fixed
accuracy (+/- 0.1 nominal) and a f ixe d upda te r at e of
90 ms.
(1) 2-cycle is specified at 50 Hz (2.4 cycles at 60 Hz). Therefore, more data will
be available at frequencies greater than 50 Hz, while less will be available at
frequencies less than 50 Hz.
1403-IN001A-US-P
(2) 12 cycles is specified at 50 Hz (14.4 cycles at 60 Hz). Therefore, more data

Voltage Input and Potential Transformer (PT) Selection
All Bulletin 1403-xM Powermonitor II devices
handle direct connection for line to neutral voltages
of 120, 277, and 347 (line to line voltages of 208,
480, and 600V, respectively).
1403-IN001A-US-P
Installation2-3
Use instrument accura cy PTs when the vol tage level s
being measured exceed the vo ltage in put ratings . The
PT accuracy rating directly affects the system
accuracy. For maximum accuracy, the PT used must
provide linearity across the voltage range and must
introduce a minimal phase angle shift.
Note:Remember, for systes with greater than 120
volts applied to the voltage inputs, the PT
secondary must be confi gured to greate r than
137 volts to switch to high voltage mode.
Example: A 600 V
(347 V
L-L
) direct-
L-N
connect system would be configured with a
PT ratio of 347:347.
Current Inputs and Current Transformer (CT) Selection
The Powermonitor II is available in two models: a 5
Amp or 1 Amp model. Each current input to the
Powermonitor II is internally CT isolated to 5kV.
Each current input may b e connected di rectly into th e
power line as long as t he current s do not e xceed the 5
Amp or 1 Amp ratings.
Customer provided CTs are required where input is
higher than the device rating. The values for the
primary and secondary CT ratings must be
configured into the Powermonitor II in order to
properly scale the displayed readings.
The accuracy of the current input reading is
dependent on the CT class. An Instr ument Clas s 1 or
better is recommended. Ca re shou ld be take n that th e
combined load of wiring and the Powermonitor II
match closely to the VA rating of the CT for
maximum accuracy.
ATTENTION: A CT secondary
circuit must not be opened with
!
primary current applied. Wiring
between the CTs and the
Powermonitor II should include a
terminal block for shorting the CT
secondary circuit. Shorting the
secondary with primary current
present will allow other connections
to be removed if needed. An open CT
secondary with primary current
applied will produce a hazardous
voltage, which can lead to personal
injury, death, property damage or
economic loss.

LED Indicators
The Powermonitor II is equipped with two light
emitting diodes (LED) labeled “Power” and “OK.”
The Power LED illuminates when suf ficient power is
applied to the device. The OK LED flashes when the
device is initially powere d; this indicates that the
device is running internal self tests. After the OK
LED flashes and the internal self tests pass, the OK
LED remains illuminated indicating that the device is
in good operating conditi on. If the OK LED does not
remain illuminated, this ind icates that an internal
self-test did not pass and service is needed (refer to
Chapter 3, Field Service Considerations ).

General Operation
General Functionality
The Display Module acts as a simple terminal that
allows a user to easily view metering parameters or
change configuration items. This is accomplished by
using three modes of operation: Display mode,
Program mode, and Edit mode.
Display mode allows any user to view any of the
measured parameters that the Powermonitor II
provides including metering information, harmonic
analysis (1403-MM only), and logging information.
The user also has the option of selecting default
screens which are displayed at power-up or after 30
minutes of non-activity.
Program mode allows a privileged user to issue
commands or select a parameter to modify. Program
mode provides a basic security system where each
Powermonitor II is pass word pro tecte d, and onl y one
entity can m odify a Powermonitor II; an entity
includes one of the three possible Display Modules
or the Smart Communicatio n Card. When a u ser is i n
Program Mode, a flashing “P” is displayed at the
bottom right-hand corner of the Display Module.
Edit mode allows the privileged user to mo dify the
selected parameters. When a user is in Edit mode, the
parameter being modified flashes, and the flashing
“P” remains solid.
Key Functions
The Display Module has four keys located on its
front bezel: an Escape key, Up Arrow key, Down
Arrow key, and Enter key. These keys maintain their
same functionality for all of the Display M odule’s
modes making the Display Module easy to use. The
functionality of the four keys is shown in Figure 4.1.

Setpoints
Theory of Setpoint Operation
The Powermonitor II is capable of monitoring many
parameters (simultaneously), generating alarms,
controlling relays, and triggering other internal
actions. Setpoints are used to perform this function.
The Powermonitor II supports 20 simultaneous
setpoints. A setpoint consists of eight parameters:
setpoint number, type, evaluation condition, high
limit, low limit, action delay, release delay, and
action type. These parameters are described in Table
4.8.
Setpoints evaluate data based on six different
conditions: over forward, over reverse, under
forward, under reverse, equal, and not equal.
Parameter Value
Over Forward Setpoint
An over forward setpoint becomes active when the
magnitude of the parameter being monitored goes
over the “Setpoint High Limit” in the positive
direction (and stays over the limit) for a period of
time greater than the “Setpoint Action Delay”
parameter. When a se tp oint b ecome s act ive, i t cau ses
an action identified by “Setpoint Action Type” to
occur and log this occurrence in the Event log as a
time-stamped event. If this action is to energize a
relay, or set an alarm bit, that action remains true
until the setpoint becomes inactive. An over forward
setpoint become s ina ctive when t he magnitu de o f the
parameter being monitored falls below the “Setpoint
Low Limit” (and stays below the limit) for a period
of time greater than the “Setpoint Release Delay.”
The change from active to inactive is also logged in
the Event log as a time-stamped event.

Equal Setpoint
An equal setpoint becomes active when the
parameter being monitor ed equals the “Setp oint High

when the parameter being monitored does not equal
the “Setpoint High Limit ” for a period of time greater
than the “Setpoint Release Delay.” The “Setpoint
Low Limit” is not used for equal setpoints.
The equal setpoint is most useful for non-numeric
values, such as phase rotation, IEEE-519 status, and
status input states.

Configuration. Refer to Setpoints on page 4-16.
Pulsed output contr ol - One of the relays can be
•
configured to provide a pulsed output based on t he
measured value for kilowatt-hours or kilovarhours. Refer to Demand on page 4-9 for
additiona l informatio n on this functionality.
Forced operation control - The output relay state
•
(energized or de-energized) can be forced via
either the Smart Communication Card or the
Display Module. The forced condition is
maintained until it is eith er removed by the user or
device power is cy cled. Once the forced c onditi on
is removed , the Powermonitor II relays revert to
normal operation.

Data Logging
The Powermonitor II provides three data logs:
Event log
•
Snapshot log
•
Min/Max log
•
Each record of the three logs is date and timestamped to the neares t one hundredt h of a second . All
of the records are stored in battery powered nonvolatile RAM. The data logs remain in memory as
long as power is applie d to the Master Module or the
battery has a usabl e char ge. In the event t hat power i s
removed from the Master Module and the battery is
removed or discharged, all of the data logs will be
automatically cleared.
Event Log
The Event log consists of the 100 most recent events
that occurred in the Powermonitor II. This log is a
circular buffer. When the bu ffer is full, the newest
event overwrites th e old est even t. A list of the even ts
is shown in Table 4.11.

Whenever a setpoint event occurs, the setpoint setup
information is also logged. This information is
viewed via the Di splay Modul e b y pres sing the Ent er
key (↵) when the setpoint event is displayed. This
information can also be retrieved via the Smart
Communication Card.
Snapshot Log
The snapshot log consists of 50 records. Each record
consists of 46 parameters. The list of parameters is
shown in Table 4.13 and Table 4.14. This log can be
updated via a setpoint occurrence or a userconfigured schedule. A user -config ured sched ule can
be an interval ranging from one second to three
years. To disable schedul ed updat es, set t he period to
zero.
The Snapshot log has two modes of operation:
Fill and Stop
•
Circular
•
Fill and Stop fil ls the buf fer an d stops when it is f ull.
The buffer resu mes recording information when the
Snapshot log is cleared.
Circular continuously fills the buffer. When the
buffer is full, old data is overwritten.
The Snapshot log information is retrieved through
the Smart Communication Card. All data is logged
together. However, for communication purposes
only, the log is divided into two blocks.

Min/Max Log
The Min/Max log records the minimum and
maximum values for 84 parameters. These
parameters are listed in Table 4.15. The parameter
values are continuous ly monitored until th e Min/Max
log is cleared or when the log is disabled. The Min/
Max log can be disabled to make the real time
metering update approximately 10 ms faster.
The Min/Max log can be displayed using the Disp lay

The pretrigger data of the 2-channel simultaneous
12-cycle oscillogram is disabled by setting the
number of pretrigger cycles to a -1. This action
makes the real time metering update slightly faster.
Self-test/Diagnostic Information
The Powermonitor II and its accessories have an
extensive array of internal self-tests. Complete selftests are executed at device powerup, and criti ca l
tests are continuously run during operation of the
device. The results of these self-tests are used to
insure the integrity of the informat ion provided by
Powermonito r II and its accessories. Improper selftest results cause the device to cease normal
operation.
Bulletin Number
For the Powermonitor II, this parameter returns 1403.
Oscillography (1403-MM only)
The Powermonitor II provides two types of
oscillography. Both are triggered simultaneously and
sampled at 10.8 kilo-hertz. The types are:
Simultaneous 7-channel 2-cycle oscillogram
•
User configurable simultaneous 2-channel 12-
•
cycle oscillogram with up to eight cycles of
pretrigger data
These oscillograms can be triggered manually or as
the result of a setpoint. Oscillogram configuration
and retrieval can only be accomplished through the
Smart Communication Card.
Oscillography has two modes of operation:
• Hold
• Overwrite
Hold fills a buffer when an o scillograph is triggered ,
and it does not allow another oscillograph to trigger
until the Master Module is commanded to cancel the
hold. Overwrite allows oscillographs to be
overwritten when multiple triggers occur.
Master M odule Firmware R evision Number
This parameter returns the firmware revision number
of the Master Module. This value is re turned throu gh
the Smart Communication Card as an integer such
that 1.00 is represented as 100.

Glossary
A
ampere
A unit of electrical current or rate of flow of
electrons. One volt across one ohm of resistance
causes a current flow of one ampere. A flow of one
coulomb per second equals one
apparent power
The product of voltage magnitude and current
magnitude in a circuit. Units are VA, or some
multiple thereof.
B
balanced load
An alternating, current power system consisting of
more than two current carrying conductors in which
these current carrying conductors all carry the same
current.
billing demand
The demand level that a utility uses to calculate the
demand charges on the current month’s bill. Various
methods may be used to determin e the val ue, such as
minimum demand, peak demand or a ratchet clause.
It can be based on Watt Demand, VA Demand, VAR
Demand or some combination of these. A rate at
which a transmission occurs, where one baud equals
one bit per second.
burden
The electrical load placed on source of VA or the
load an instrument or meter places on a current or
potential transformer. All current and potential
transformers have a rate d burden which should not be
exceeded or else transformer transformation
accuracy will deteriorate.
C
capacitor
A device consisting essentially of two conducting
surfaces separated by an insulating material or
dielectric. A cap acitor stor es electri cal ener gy, blocks
the flow of direct current, and permits the flow of
alternating current to a degree dependent upon the
capacitance and frequ ency. They may also be used to
adjust the power factor in a system.
connected load
The total load which a customer can impose on the
electrical system if everything was connected at one
time. Connected loads can be measured in
horsepower, watts or volt-amperes. Some rate
schedules establish a minimum demand charge by
imposing a fee per unit of connected load.
current transformer (CT)
A transformer, intended for measuring or control
purposes, designed to have its primary winding
connected in series with a conductor carrying the
current to be measured or cont rolled. CT’s step down
high currents to lower values which can be used by
measuring instruments.
current transformer ratio
The ratio of primary amperes divided by secondary
amperes.
D
demand hours
The equivalent number of hours in a month during
which the pe ak demand is fully utilized. In other
words, if energy consumption for the current month
is X kwhr and the peak demand is Y Kw, then the
demand hours is equal to X/Y hours. The higher the
number of demand hours the better the demand
leveling situatio n and t he more e f fect ively demand i s
being used.
1403-IN001A-US-P
D-2Glossary
demand interval
Demand charges are based on peak demand over a
utility specified time interval, not on the
instantaneous demand (or connected load) at any
given moment. Typical demand intervals are 15, 20
and 30 minutes.
F
frequency
The number of recurrences of a periodic
phenomenon in a unit of time. In electrical terms,
frequency is specified as so many Hertz (Hz) where
one Hz equals one cycle per second.
H
horsepower (hp)
A unit of power , or the capacity of a mecha nism to do
work. It is equivalent to raising 33,000 pounds one
foot in one minute. One horsepower equals 746
watts.
initiator pulses
Electrical impulses generated by pulse-initiator
mechanisms installed in utility revenue meters. Each
pulse indicates t he cons umption of a spe cific n umber
of watts. These pulses can be used to measu re ener gy
consumption and demand.
L
lagging current
The current flowing in an AC circui t which is mos tly
inductive. If a circuit contains only inductance the
current lags the applied voltage by 90 degrees.
Lagging current means lagging power.
leading current
The current flowing in a circuit which is mostly
capacitive. If a circuit contains only capacitance the
current leads the applied voltage by 90 degrees.
Leading current means leading power factor.
load
I
impedance
The total opposition (i.e., resistance and reactance) a
circuit offers to the flow of alternating current at a
given frequency. It is measured in ohms.
induction motor
An alternating current motor in w hich the primary
winding (usually the sta tor) is connected to the power
source and induces a current into a secondary
(usually the rotor).
inductor
A device consisting of one or more windings with or
without a magnetic core. Motors are largely
inductive.
Any device or circuit consuming power in an
electrical system.
load shedding
The removal o f load from the line to limit load and
control demand level.
load restoring
The energization of loads that were previously
removed from the line to limi t load and control
demand level.
N
neutral
The conductor chosen as the return path for the
current from the load to the source. It is also a
voltage reference point in a power system.

O
ohm
The unit of electrical resistance. One ohm is the
value of resistance through which a potential
difference of one volt will maintain a curren t fl ow of
one ampere.
P
peak demand
The highest aver age lo ad over a util ity speci fied time
interval during a billing period. If there is no ratchet
clause in the rate schedule then the peak demand is
also the billing demand.
polyphase
Having or utilizing several phases. A polyphase
power circuit has several, typically three, phases of
alternating current with a fixed phase angle between
phases.
potential transformer (PT)
An transformer with the primary winding connected
in parallel with the circuit whose voltage is to be
measured or controlled. PT’s are normally used to
step down high voltage potentials to lower levels
acceptable to measuring instruments. Also known as
voltage transformer (VT)
power factor correction
Steps taken to raise the power factor by closely
aligning the current to be in phase with the applied
voltage. Most frequently this consists of added
capacitance to increase the lagging power factor of
inductive circuits.
power factor penalty
The charge utilities impose for operating at power
factor below some rate sc hedule -specifi ed level . This
level ranges from a lagging power factor of 0.80 to
unity. There are innumerable ways by which utilities
calculate power factor penalties.
R
ratchet clause
A rate schedule clause which states that billing
demand may be based on current month peak
demand or on historical peak demand, depending on
relative magnitude. Usually the historical period is
the past eleven mont hs, although it c an be f or the life
of the contract. Billing demand is either the current
month peak demand or some percentage (75 percent
is typical) of the highest historical peak demand.
Depending on which is largest. It is designed to
compensate the electric utility for maintaining
equipment not fully utilized.
reactance
potential tr ansformer ratio
The ratio of primary voltage divided by secondary
voltage.
power factor
The ratio of real power in watts of an alternating
current circuit to the apparent power in volt- amperes.
Also expressed as the cosine of the phase angle
between the fundamental voltage applied to a load
and the current passing through it.
The opposit ion to the flow of alternating current.
Capacitive reactance is the opposition offered by
capacitors and inductive reactance is the opposition
offered by an inductive load. Both reactances are
measured in ohms.
real power
The component of apparent power that represents
real work in a n alternating current circuit. It is
expressed in watts and is equal to the apparent power
times the power factor.
1403-IN001A-US-P
D-4Glossary
resistance
The property of a substance which impedes current
flow and results in the dissipation of power in the
form of heat. The unit of resistance is the ohm. One
ohm is the resistance through which a difference of
potential of one volt will produce a current of one
ampere.
revenue meter
A meter used b y a utility to generate billing
information . Many types of meters fall in this
category depending on the rate structure.
root mean squ are (RMS)
The effective value of alternating current or voltage.
The RMS values of voltage and current can be used
for the accurate computation of power in watts. The
RMS value is the same value as if continuous direct
current were applied to a pure resistance.
S
sliding demand interval
A method of calculating average demand by
averaging the average demand over several
successive short time intervals, advancing one short
time interval each time. Updati ng averag e demand at
short time intervals gives the utility a mu ch better
measure of true demand and makes it d if fic ult f or th e
customer to obscure high short-term loads.
U
volt-ampere demand
Where peak average demand is measured in voltamperes rather than watts. The average VA during a
predefined interval. The highest average, i.e. Peak
VA demand, is sometimes used for billing.
voltage (V)
The force which causes current to flow through a
conductor. One volt equals the force required to
produce a current flow of one ampere through a
resistance of one ohm.
W
watt (W)
A measure of real power. The unit of electrical power
required to do work at the rate of one joule per
second. It is the powe r expended when o ne ampere of
direct current flo ws th rough a resistance of one ohm.
Equal to apparent power VA times the power factor.
watt demand
Power during a predetermined interval. The highest
average, i.e. Peak demand is commonly used for
billing.
watt hour (Whr)
The number of watts used in one hour. Since the
power usage varies, it is necessary to integrate this
parameter over time. Power flow can be either
forward or reverse.
unbalanced load
A situation existing in a three phase alternating
current system using more than two current carrying
conductors where the current is not due to uneven
loading of the phases.
V
volt-ampere (VA)
The unit of apparent power. It equals volts times
amperes regardless of power factor.
1403-IN001A-US-P
wattmeter
An instrument for measuring the real power in an
electric circuit. It s scale is usu ally graduate d in watts,
kilowatts or megawatts.
volt ampere reactive hours (VARH)
The number of VARs used in one hour. Since the
value of this parameter varies, it is neces sary to
integrate it over time. VARs can be either forward or
reverse.
