The SAMES three phase power/energy metering module, the PM9105AF provides three
pulse rate output options, the frequency of which are proportional to the active power
consumption.
Energy consumption can be determined by the power measurement being integrated
over time.
The method of calculation takes the power factor into account.
The output of this innovative universal three phase power/energy metering circuit is
ideally suited for energy calculations in applications using a µ-controller or mechanical
counter.
The application utilises the SAMES SA9105AF, SA9105EF or SA9105FF three phase
power metering integrated circuits for power measurement.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1.Power Calculation
In the Application Circuit (see Figure 2), the output currents from the current sensors
will be between 0 and 16µA. The current input stages saturate at input currents
greater than 18µA
. The mains voltage (mains voltage + 15% - 20%) is used for
RMS
the power calculation, together with the current information from the current sensors
(current transformers).
The calculated power for the 3 phases is integrated over time and converted into a
corresponding frequency.

PM9105AF
For rated conditions, the signals into the current and voltage sensor inputs are set
as follows:
Current sensor input currents:16µ A
Voltage sensor input currents:14µ A
RMS
RMS
Under these conditions, the device generates a pulse rate of 1,16kHz at output
FOUT1.
The output frequency at FOUT2 is FOUT1/4. At F OUT3 the output frequency is
FOUT1/290.
2.Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
The device's inputs/outputs are protected against ESD according to Mil-Std 883C,
method 3015. The modules resistance to transients will be dependant upon the
protection components used.
3.Power Consumption
The overall power consumption rating for this power metering application (Figure 2),
is under 500mW, excluding the current sensors.
4.Isolation
The reference for the unit is connected to neutral.
5.Circuit Description
The module is supplied from an external 5V DC supply.
The Application Circuit (figure 2), details the components required for a three phase
power metering module. Terminated current transformers are used as current
sensors.
The most important external components are:
C7, C9, C10 and C11 are the outer loop capacitors for the integrated oversampling
A/D converters. The typical value of C7 is 2.2nF and the value of C9, C10 and C11 is
560pF.
The actual values determine the signal to noise and stability performance. The
tolerances should be within ± 10%.
C4, C5, C6 and C8 are the inner loop capacitors for the integrated oversampling
A/D converters. The typical value of C4, C5, C6 and C8 is 3.3nF. Values smaller than
0.5nF and larger than 5nF should be avoided.
Terminated current sensors (current transformers) are connected to the current
sensor inputs of the SA9105 through current setting resistors (R8 ..R13).
The resistor values should be selected for an input current of 16µA into the SA9105
at the rated line current.

The values of these resistors should be calculated as follows:
Phase 1:
R8 = R9 = (IL1/16µA) x R18/2
Phase 2:
R10 = R11 = (IL2/16µA) x R19/2
Phase 3:
R12 = R13 = (IL3/16µA) x R20/2

+ R1A, R4 and R15 set the current for the phase 1 voltage sense input. R2 + R2A,

R5 + P5 and R16 set the current for phase 2 and R3 + R3A, R6 + P6 and R17 set the current
for Phase 3. The values should be selected so that the input currents into the voltage
sense inputs (virtual ground) is set to 14µA at nominal line voltage. Capacitors C1,
C2 and C3 are for decoupling and phase compensation.
R
+ P14 defines all on-chip bias and reference currents. With R14 + P14 = 24kΩ,
14
optimum conditions are set. P14 may be varied within ± 10% for calibration purposes.
Any changes to R
will affect the output quadratically (i.e: ∆R = +5%, ∆FOUT =
14
+10%).
XTAL is a colour burst TV crystal (f = 3.5795 MHz) for the oscillator. The oscillator
frequency is divided down to 1.7897 MHz on-chip to supply the digital circuitry and
the A/D converters.
