For wiring instructions and safety precautions, see the meter installation sheet that was shipped with your meter, or download a copy at www.schneider-electric.com.

Direct connect voltage limits

You can connect the meter’s voltage inputs directly to the phase voltage lines of the power system if the power system’s line-to-line or line-to-neutral voltages do not exceed the meter’s direct connect maximum voltage limits. The meter's voltage measurement inputs are rated by the manufacturer for up to 400 V L-N / 690 V L-L. However, the maximum voltage allowed for direct connection may be lower, depending on the local electrical codes and regulations. In US and Canada the maximum voltage on the meter voltage measurement inputs may not exceed 347 V L-N / 600 V L-L.
If your system voltage is greater than the specified direct connect maximum voltage, you must use VTs (voltage transformers) to step down the voltages.

Voltage and current input wiring

For wiring instructions and safety precautions, see the meter installation sheet that was shipped with your meter, or download a copy at www.schneider-electric.com.
Voltage input protection
The meter’s voltage inputs must be wired to fuses/breakers and a disconnect switch. If using a voltage transformer (VT), both primary and secondary sides of the VT must be wired to fuses/breakers and disconnect switches.
Clearly label the device’s disconnect circuit mechanism and install it within easy reach
of the operator.
The fuses / circuit breakers must be rated for the installation voltage and sized for the
available fault current.
Fuse for neutral terminal is required if the source neutral connection is not grounded.
See the meter installation sheet for fuse ratings.
Current input protection
For all connected current inputs, use a CT shorting block to short-circuit the secondary leads of the CTs before removing the current input connections to the meter.
NOTE: Ground any unused current inputs.

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide Chapter 3—Hardware Reference

Balanced system considerations

In situations where you are monitoring a balanced 3-phase load, you may choose to connect only one or two CTs on the phase(s) you want to measure, and then configure the meter so it calculates the current on the unconnected current input(s).
NOTE: For a balanced 4-wire Wye system, the meter’s calculations assume that there is
no current flowing through the neutral conductor.
Balanced 3-phase Wye system with 2 CTs
The current for the unconnected current input is calculated so that the vector sum for all three phase currents equal zero.
Balanced 3-phase Wye or Delta system with 1 CT
The currents for the unconnected current inputs are calculated so that their magnitude and phase angle are identical and equally distributed, and the vector sum for all three phase currents equal zero.
NOTE: You must always use 3 CTs for 3-phase 4-wire center-tapped Delta or
center-tapped open Delta systems.

Control power wiring

Communications

Serial communications

For wiring instructions and safety precautions, see the meter installation sheet that was shipped with your meter, or download a copy at www.schneider-electric.com.
The meter can be powered from an AC or DC power source.
L1 and L2 are non-polarized. If using an AC power supply with neutral, connect
neutral to the meter’s L2 terminal.
Always use a fuse on L1. Fuse L2 when connecting an ungrounded neutral to the
control power.
If using a control power transformer, fuse both primary and secondary sides of the
transformer.
The fuses / circuit breakers must be rated for the installation voltage and sized for the
available fault current.
This section provides additional information about the communications ports and topologies supported by the meter. You must wire and configure the RS-485 port or the Ethernet port in order to communicate with the meter.
The meter supports serial communications through the RS-485 port. Up to 32 devices can be connected on a single RS-485 bus.
In an RS-485 network, there is one master device, typically an Ethernet to RS-485 gateway. It provides the means for RS-485 communications with multiple slave devices (for example, meters). For applications that require only one dedicated computer to

RS-485 network configuration
© 2014 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 27
After you have wired the RS-485 port and powered up the meter, you must configure the serial communications port in order to communicate with the meter.
Each device on the same RS-485 communications bus must have a unique address and all connected devices must be set to the same protocol, baud rate, and parity (data format).
NOTE: To communicate with the meter using ION Setup, you must set the parity to
“None” for all devices in the RS-485 network.
For meters that do not have a display, you must first wire and configure each one separately before connecting these meters to the same RS-485 bus.

Ethernet communications

The meter uses Modbus TCP protocol to communicate at data speeds up to 100 Mbps through its Ethernet communications port.
Use a shielded Ethernet cable to connect the meter’s Ethernet port. Ground terminal is not available on meter, shield should be connected to Ground at the other end. Ethernet connection source should be installed in a location that minimizes the overall Ethernet cable routing length.
Ethernet wiring

Digital outputs

Ethernet configuration
To communicate with the meter through Ethernet, all devices must have a unique IP address and be set to the same subnet mask and gateway.
To configure Ethernet communications, see “Setting up Ethernet communications” on
page 37.
The meter is equipped with two digital output ports (D1, D2). You can configure the digital outputs for use in the following applications:
switching applications, for example, to provide on/off control signals for switching
capacitor banks, generators, and other external devices and equipment
demand synchronization applications, where the meter provides pulse signals to the
input of another meter to control its demand period
energy pulsing applications, where a receiving device determines energy usage by
counting the k_h pulses (k_h = kWh, kVARh or kVAh depending on the energy parameter selected) coming from the meter’s digital output port
The digital outputs can handle voltages less than 40 V DC. For higher voltage applications, use an external relay in the switching circuit.

Status inputs

The meter is equipped with two status input ports (S1 and S2). You can configure the status inputs for use in status monitoring applications.

Relay outputs

The meter’s status inputs require an external voltage source to detect the status input’s on/off state. The meter detects an ON state if the external voltage appearing at the status input is within its operating range.
The external voltage can be derived from either the whetting output provided by the meter or by a voltage source up to 36 V DC external to the meter.
Status input connections
The meter is equipped with two Form A mechanical relay output ports (Relay 1 and Relay
2). Relay outputs can be configured to be used switching applications, for example, to
provide on/off control signals for switching capacitor banks, generators, and other external devices and equipment.

Status input applications

Status inputs are typically used for monitoring the status of external contacts or circuit breakers.
The meter’s status inputs require either an external voltage source or whetting voltage (provided in the meter) to detect the status input’s ON/OFF state. The meter detects an ON state if the external voltage appearing at the status input is within its operating range.
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E in the USA or applicable local standards.
• Turn off all power supplying this device before working on it.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
• Do not exceed the device’s ratings for maximum limits.
• Do not use this device for critical control or protection applications where human or equipment safety relies on the operation of the control circuit.

• Normal: the status input is not associated with another meter function. The meter counts and records the number of incoming pulses normally.
• Demand Sync: the status input is associated with one of the input sync demand functions. The meter uses the incoming pulse to synchronize its demand period with the external source.
• Input Metering: the status input is associated with one of the input metering channels. The meter counts and records the number of incoming pulses and related consumption data associated with the pulses.
Debounce is the time delay that compensates for mechanical contact bounce. Use this field to set how long (in milliseconds) the external signal must remain in a certain state to be considered a valid state change.
This field displays additional information if the status input is already associated with another meter function.

Digital output applications

Digital outputs are typically used in switching applications, for example, to provide on/off control signals for switching capacitor banks, generators, and other external devices and equipment. They can also be used in demand synchronization applications, where the meter provides pulse signals to the input of another meter to control its demand period.
The digital output can also be used in energy pulsing applications, where a receiving device determines energy usage by counting the kWh pulses coming from the meter’s digital output port.
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E in the USA or applicable local standards.
• Turn off all power supplying this device before working on it.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
• Do not exceed the device’s ratings for maximum limits.
• Do not use this device for critical control or protection applications where human or equipment safety relies on the operation of the control circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: Be aware that an unexpected change of state of the digital outputs may result
when the supply power to the meter is interrupted or after a meter firmware upgrade.

Digital output application example

You can connect your meter’s digital outputs to other meters to send a demand sync pulse. In the following example, the first meter (Meter 1) controls and sets the demand period of the other meters (Meter 2, Meter 3, Meter 4) through the output pulse occurring at the end of the first meter’s demand interval.

Alarm / energy pulsing LED setup

The meter’s LED can be configured for alarm indication or energy pulsing.
When set to detect alarms, the LED blinks to indicate an alarm condition. See “Alarm Priorities” on page 66 for a description of the LED behavior based on different alarms.
When the LED is set to energy pulsing, the meter sends a readable pulse or signal based on the measured energy. This pulse can be used for accuracy verification or as an input to another energy monitoring system. The meter uses the pulse constant setting in pulses per k_h to determine the frequency and number of pulses sent to the LED (where k_h = kWh, kVARh or kVAh depending on the energy parameter selected).
The LED setup screen allows you to configure the alarm / energy pulsing LED for alarming or energy pulsing applications.

This section describes the alarm features on PM5300 series Power and Energy meters.

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 “Alarm / energy pulsing LED setup” on page 60 for more information.
The power meter maintains a counter for each alarm to help keep track of the total number of occurrences (see Figure 7–1).
Figure 7–1: 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.

1-Second Alarms

The power meter has 29 standard 1-second over/under alarms. See Table 7–1 for a complete list.

Alarm Period
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 7–2 below.

Digital Alarms

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 two digital alarms for alarming on status input status. By default, the digital alarms are active when the associated status input is ON. The pickup and dropout time delays are configured in seconds.

Unary Alarms

The power meter has four unary alarms. These alarms help to alert you when the meter powers on after a control power loss, when the meter resets for any reason, when the meter self-diagnostic feature detects a problem, or when the meter detects a phase rotation different than expected.

Alarm Priorities

Each alarm has a priority level. Use priorities to help distinguish between events that require immediate action and those that do not require action. See “Setting up the alarm / energy pulsing LED” on page 42 for information on configuring the alarm LED for alarm mode.
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 73 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.
When a pickup event occurs, the active alarm list appears. Press “Detail” to see more event information. See “Alarm Setup” on page 66 for more information.

Viewing Alarm Activity and History

There are two types of alarm entries: primary and secondary. The primary entry identifies the alarm. The secondary entries provide pickup and dropout information.
The active alarm list holds 40 entries at a time. The list works as a circular buffer, replacing old entries as new entries over 40 are entered into the alarm event queue. The information in the alarm event queue reinitializes when the power meter resets.
The alarm history log holds 40 entries. The log also works as a circular buffer, replacing old entries with new entries. This information is nonvolatile.

Power and Energy Meter Model
By default, the power and energy meter can log the occurrence of any alarm condition. Each time an alarm occurs it is entered into the alarm log. The alarm log in the power and energy meter stores the pickup and dropout points of alarms along with the date and time associated with these alarms. With PowerLogic software, user can view and save the alarm log to disk, and reset the alarm log to clear the data out of the power and energy meter’s memory.
The power and energy meter stores alarm log data in non-volatile memory. The size of the alarm log is fixed at 40 records.

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide Chapter 9—Measurements and calculations
Chapter 9—Measurements and calculations
This section describes how the meter processes measured and calculated data.

Real-time readings

The power and energy meter measures currents and voltages, and reports in real time the RMS (Root Mean Squared) values for all three phases and neutral. The voltage and current inputs are continuously monitored at a sampling rate of 64 points per cycle. This amount of resolution helps enable the meter to provide reliable measurements and calculated electrical values for various commercial, buildings and industrial applications.

To learn how to navigate to the data screens using the front panel, see “Viewing
Meter Data” on page 45.

Energy

Min/max values

Power factor

The power and energy meter calculates and stores accumulated energy values for real, reactive, and apparent energy.
You can view accumulated energy from the display. The energy value units
automatically change, based on the quantity of energy accumulated (e.g., from kWh to
MWh, from MWh to GWh, then from GWh to TWh, from TWh to PWh).

Related topics

To view energy readings from the front panel display, see “Meter data display
screens” on page 45.
The meter’s real-time readings are updated once every 50 cycles for 50 Hz systems, or once every 60 cycles for 60 Hz systems. When the readings reach their lowest or highest value, the meter updates and saves these min/max (minimum and maximum) quantities in non-volatile memory.
Power factor (PF) is the ratio of active power (P) to apparent power (S), and is a number between zero (0) and one (1). In a purely resistive circuit, PF is equal to 1 (unity PF). Inductive or capacitive loads increase the reactive power (Q) component in the circuit which causes the PF to become less than 1.
Power factor can have a positive or negative sign, depending on the type of load or direction of power flow. See “Power factor sign convention” on page 78.

Power factor min/max convention

The meter uses the following convention for power factor minimums and maximums:
For negative PF readings, the minimum PF value is the measurement closest to -0
for PF readings between -0 to -1. For positive PF readings, the minimum PF value is the measurement closest to +1 for PF readings between +1 to +0.
For negative PF readings, the maximum PF value is the measurement closest to -1
for PF readings between -0 to -1. For positive PF readings, the maximum PF value is the measurement closest to +0 for PF readings between +1 to +0.
Power factor minimum and maximum

Power factor sign convention

You can set the power factor sign (PF sign) convention by changing the HMI mode to either IEC or IEEE.
Power factor sign convention
78 © 2014 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved
IEC mode
In IEC mode, the PF sign follows the direction of power flow. PF sign is positive (+) for positive (normal) power flow. PF sign is negative (-) for negative (reverse) power flow.
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide Chapter 9—Measurements and calculations
IEEE mode
In IEEE mode, the PF sign is determined by the type of load (inductive or capacitive) contributing to the reactive power component of apparent power. PF sign is positive (+) for capacitive loads (leading power factor). PF sign is negative (-) for inductive loads (lagging power factor).

Demand

Demand is a measure of average consumption (typically power or current) over a fixed programmed time interval.
The meter measures instantaneous consumption and can calculate demand using various methods.

Related topics

For instructions on configuring demand using the front panel, see “Demand setup”
on page 43

Power demand calculation methods

Power demand is calculated by dividing the energy accumulated during a specified period by the length of that period. How the power meter performs this calculation depends on the method and time parameters you select (for example, timed rolling block demand with a 15-minute interval).
To be compatible with electric utility billing practices, the power meter provides the following types of power demand calculations:
Block interval demand
Synchronized demand
Thermal demand
You can configure the power demand calculation method from the front panel or using ION Setup.
Block interval demand
For block interval demand method types, you specify a period of time interval (or block) that the power meter uses for the demand calculation. Select/configure how the power meter handles that interval from one of these different methods:
Timed Sli ding Block: Select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute
increments). If the interval is between 1 and 15 minutes, the demand calculation
updates every 15 seconds. If the interval is between 16 and 60 minutes, the demand calculation updates every 60 seconds. The power meter displays the
demand value for the last completed interval.
Timed Block: Select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). The
power meter calculates and updates the demand at the end of each interval.
Timed Rolling Block: Select an interval and a subinterval. The subinterval must
divide evenly into the interval (for example, three 5-minute subintervals for a
15-minute interval). Demand is updated at the end of each subinterval. The power
meter displays the demand value for the last completed interval.

over communications or the device’s internal real-time clock.
Input synchronized demand: This method allows you to synchronize the demand
interval of your meter with an external digital pulse source (such as another power meter’s digital output) connected to your meter's digital input. This helps synchronize your meter to the same time interval as the other meter for each
demand calculation. When setting up this type of demand, you can choose Input Sync Block (input-synchronized block demand) or Input Sync Roll Blk (input­synchronized rolling block demand). Input Sync Roll Blk requires that you specify
a subinterval.
Command synchronized demand: This method allows you to synchronize the
demand intervals of multiple meters on a communications network. For example, if a programmable logic controller (PLC) input is monitoring a pulse at the end of a demand interval on a utility revenue meter, you can 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 can

choose Cmd Sync Block (command-synchronized block demand) or Cmd Sync Roll Block (command-synchronized rolling block demand). Cmd Sync Roll Blk
requires that you specify a subinterval.
Clock synchronized demand: This method allows you to synchronize the demand
interval to the power meter’s internal real-time clock. This helps you synchronize the demand to a particular time, typically on the hour (for example, at 12:00 am). If you select another time of day when the demand intervals are to be synchronized, the time must be specified in minutes from midnight. For example, to synchronize at 8:00 am, select 0800 (in hhmm format). When setting up this type of demand, you
can choose Clock Sync Block (clock-synchronized block demand) or Clock Sync Roll Blk (clock-synchronized rolling block demand). Clock Sync Roll Blk requires
that you specify a subinterval.
Thermal demand
Thermal demand calculates the demand based on a thermal response, which imitates the function of thermal demand meters. The demand calculation updates at the end of each interval. You can set the demand interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments).
The following illustration shows the thermal demand calculation. In this example, the interval is set to 15 minutes.
Thermal demand example

Current demand

The power meter calculates current demand using one of the methods described in “Power demand calculation methods” on page 79. You can set the demand interval from 1 to 60 minutes in 1-minute increments (for example, 15 minutes).

Predicted demand

The power meter calculates predicted demand for the end of the present interval for
© 2014 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 81
kW, kVAR, kVA and Amps demand. This prediction takes into account the energy consumption so far within the present (partial) interval and the present rate of consumption.
Predicted demand is updated every second.

Peak demand

The maximum values for the kWD, kVARD, kVAD power, and amps (or peak demand) is maintained in the meter’s non-volatile memory. The peak for each value is the highest average reading since the meter was last reset. The power meter also stores the date and time when the peak demand occurred. In addition to the peak demand, the power meter also stores the coinciding average 3-phase power factor. The average 3­phase power factor is defined as “demand kW/demand kVA” for the peak demand interval.

Chapter 10—Multi-tariff feature
This section describes how to set up different tariffs for storing energy values in registers that correspond to each of those tariffs. An example of when this feature can be used is when a utility has set up tariff schedules with different rates based on what day or time of day energy is consumed.
The meter supports configuration of up to 4 different tariffs.

Multi-tariff feature example

In the above illustration, the area under the power curve equals the energy consumed.
Typically, the utility sets tariff schedules so the cost of energy is higher during high demand or high energy consumption times. How these “tariff energy containers” are configured determines how fast these containers fill, which correlates to increasing energy costs. The price per kWh is lowest at tariff T1 and highest at tariff T2.

Multi-tariff feature overview

The meter supports multiple tariffs to measure and monitor energy usage that can be used in billing or cost applications. There are different tariff modes you can use to determine what tariff is applied and when: Command mode, Time of Day mode, and Input mode.
© 2014 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 83
Chapter 10—Multi-tariff feature PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide

Command mode overview

You can use this mode to send a Modbus command to the device which sets the active tariff. This tariff is applied to the measured energy until you send another Modbus command that sets a different tariff.
Related topics
Search PM5300 Modbus register list at www.schneider-electric.com to download
the Modbus map.

Time of day mode overview

You can use this mode to create a tariff schedule that specifies where the meter stores energy or input metered data, based on the time of year (month, day), the type of day (every day, weekend, weekday or a specific day of the week), or time of day. The data collected from the different tariffs can then be used in energy audits or similar costing and budget planning purposes.
Time format
Multi-tariff configuration using the front panel uses this date and time format:

The time in 24-hour clock format, where 0000 = 00:00 (12:00 am) and 2359 = 23:59 (11:59 pm).
NOTE: Use ION Setup if you want to configure Time of Day tariff using the 12-hour
clock (i.e., 12:00 am to 11:59 pm).
Tariff validity
A valid tariff has certain conditions and limitations:
Each tariff must cover a unique time period (tariffs cannot overlap) but there can be
periods with no tariff.
Any number of tariffs, from none to the maximum number of tariffs, can be applied.
Time of day tariffs do not adjust for daylight savings time.
Time of day tariffs include February 29th in leap years (however, it is not
recommended to have February 29th as a start or end date, as that tariff would be invalid for non-leap years.
Except for leap years, tariff dates are not year-specific; if you wanted to create a
tariff that starts on the first Monday in August, you need to enter the date for that year, then manually update the tariff information for the subsequent years.

starts at 02:00 and also ends at 02:00).
Start time can only be earlier than end time for tariffs that are applied every day.
You can create a daily tariff that starts at 06:00 and ends at 02:00, but these times
are only valid for the Everyday tariff and invalid for the other tariff types.
Start day must be earlier than end day if the days are in the same month. You
cannot create a tariff that starts June 15 and ends June 12.
There are two methods of creating tariffs:
Time of year tariffs divide the year into multiple sections (usually seasons), where
each section has one or more day types. For example, a four tariff configuration using this method could have Summer and Winter seasons that also use different weekend and weekday tariffs.
Daily tariffs can divide days by day of the week, a weekday, a weekend, or every
day, and can specify the time of day. For example, a four tariff configuration could have every day in the year divided into six-hour tariff periods or could have two tariffs for weekends and two tariffs for weekdays.
You can combine these methods if, for example you wanted to create a tariff that applies on Mondays from January 1 to June 30, from 09:00 to 17:00. However, since only one tariff can be applied at any time, you cannot use an everyday or weekday tariff type because you already specified a tariff for the time periods 09:00 to 17:00.
Depending on how you configure the tariffs and the maximum number of tariffs supported by your meter, you may not be able to assign tariffs for the entire year, potentially leaving time gaps that do not have any tariff assigned to them.
Example tariff configurations for a four-tariff system
In these examples, four tariffs are used to cover the entire year (there are no time periods that do not have an associated tariff).
Configuration 1: four tariffs with weekdays and weekends

All days have a tariff applied between 23:00 and 04:59, corresponding to off-peak hours. All weekend days have a tariff applied from 05:00 to 22:59, corresponding to shoulder hours. All weekdays fall into one of two seasons (summer or winter), and have two tariffs applied throughout the day. Example dates and corresponding tariffs:
Wednesday, March 21, 08:00 = tariff 3
Tuesday, January 10, 21:00 = tariff 3
Sunday, June 24, 14:00 = tariff 4
Friday, August 17, 00:00 = tariff 1

Input mode overview

You can use this mode to have the device’s digital inputs set which tariff is applied to the energy that is presently being consumed. If a digital input is used for multi-tariff, it cannot be used for an exclusive association (such as Demand Sync or Input Metering), but digital inputs can be shared with a non-exclusive association (such as Alarms). To make a digital input available for setting tariffs, any conflicting associations must be manually removed at the source of the original association.
The number of different tariffs that can be applied is determined by the number of available digital inputs and the total number of tariffs supported by your device. The digital inputs are used as binary counters to identify the appropriate tariff, where off = 0 and on = 1, and most significant bit (MSB) is digital input 2 and least significant bit (LSB) is digital input 1. By this definition, digital input 1 must be associated with the
multi-tariff feature in order to set the tariff to Input mode.

Configuring time of day mode tariffs using the front panel

When the meter is set to time of day for tariffs, the active tariff is determined by the day type, the start and end times, and the start and end dates. The time of day tariff is not a calendar; the meter does not calculate the corresponding day of the week to a specific date, but February 29th is considered a valid date if you are programming the meter during a leap year.
When you enter tariff times using the front panel, be aware that the displayed minute value includes the entire minute. For example, an end time of 01:15 includes the time from 01:15:00 through 01:15:59. To create a tariff period that starts right after this, you must set the next tariff’s start time to 01:16. Although it may appear that there is a gap between these tariffs, there is not.

Chapter 11—Power quality
This section describes the meter’s power quality features and how to access power quality data.
The meter measures voltage and current harmonics up to the 31st harmonic, and calculates Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Total Demand Distortion (TDD and tdd).

Harmonics overview

Harmonics are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency of the power system. Harmonics information is valuable for power quality analysis, determining properly rated transformers, maintenance and troubleshooting.
Harmonics measurements include per-phase magnitudes and angles for the fundamental and higher harmonics relative to the fundamental frequency. The meter’s power system setting defines which phases are present and determines how line-to-line or line-to-neutral voltage harmonics and current harmonics are calculated.
Harmonics data provide information to determine how non-linear loads affect the power system. For example, power system harmonics can cause current flow on the neutral conductor, increase heating in electric motors, and eventually damage connected equipment. Power conditioners or harmonic filters can be used to minimize unwanted harmonics.

Total Harmonic Distortion and Total Demand Distortion

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a measure of the total per-phase voltage or current harmonic distortion present in the power system. It provides a general indication of the quality of a waveform. THD is calculated for each phase of both voltage and current.
Total Demand Distortion (TDD) is the per-phase harmonic current distortion against the full load demand of the electrical system. TDD indicates the impact of harmonic distortion in the system. For example, if your system is showing high THD values but a low demand, the impact of harmonic distortion on your system might be insignificant. However at full load, the THD value for the current harmonics is equal to TDD, so this could negatively impact your system.
The meter uses the following series of equations to calculate THD and TDD.
Harmonic content calculations
1. Calculate harmonic content (HC).
HC (harmonic content) is equal to the RMS value of all the non-fundamental harmonic components in one phase of the power system.
2. Calculate the harmonic content for current (HCI).
HCI (harmonic content current) is equal to the RMS value of all the non-fundamental current harmonic components (HI2…HIn) in one phase of the power system.

THD and thd calculations
The meter supports two methods of calculating total harmonic distortion: THD and thd.
THD is a quick measure of the total distortion present in a waveform and is the ratio of
harmonic content to the fundamental. The meter uses the following equation to calculate THD:
Where H1 is equal to the fundamental harmonic. thd is an alternate method for calculating total harmonic distortion. It uses the RMS
value for the total harmonic content rather than the fundamental content. The meter uses the following equation to calculate thd:
TDD calculation
TDD (total demand distortion) 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 meter uses the following equation to calculate TDD:
Where ILoad is equal to the maximum demand load on the power system.

Displaying harmonics data

The meter displays the numeric magnitude and angle of the fundamental (first) harmonic.

DANGER
Chapter 12—Verifying accuracy
All meters are tested and verified at the factory in accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards.
Your digital power meter does not require re-calibration. However, in some installations a final accuracy verification of the meters is required, especially if the meters will be used for revenue or billing applications.

Testing overview

The most common method for testing meter accuracy is to apply test voltages and currents from a stable power source and compare the meter’s readings with readings from a reference device or energy standard.

Accuracy test requirements

Signal and power source
The meter maintains its accuracy during voltage and current signal source variations but its energy pulsing output needs a stable test signal to help produce accurate test pulses. The meter’s energy pulsing mechanism needs approximately 10 seconds to stabilize after every source adjustment.
The meter must be connected to control power in order to conduct accuracy verification testing. Refer to your meter’s installation documentation for power supply specifications.
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
Verify the device’s power source meets the specifications for your device’s power supply.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury
Control equipment
Control equipment is required for counting and timing the pulse outputs from the alarm / energy pulsing LED or the digital outputs.
Most standard test benches have an arm equipped with red light sensors to detect
LED pulses.
The reference device or energy standard typically has digital inputs that can detect
and count pulses coming from an external source (i.e., the meter’s digital output).
NOTE: The optical sensors on the test bench can be disrupted by strong sources of
ambient light (such as camera flashes, florescent tubes, sunlight reflections, floodlights, etc). This can cause test errors. Use a hood, if necessary, to block out ambient light.
Environment
The meter should be tested at the same temperature as the testing equipment. The ideal temperature is about 23 °C (73 °F). Make sure the meter is warmed up sufficiently before testing.
© 2014 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 93
Chapter 12—Verifying accuracy PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide
Alarm / energy pulsing LED
A warm-up time of 30 minutes is recommended before beginning energy accuracy verification testing. At the factory, the meters are warmed up to their typical operating temperature before calibration to help ensure that the meters will reach their optimal accuracy at operating temperature.
Most high precision electronic equipment requires a warm up time before it reaches its specified performance levels. Energy meter standards allow the manufacturers to specify meter accuracy derating due to ambient temperature changes and self-heating.
Your meter complies with and meets the requirements of these energy metering standards.
For a list of accuracy standards that your meter complies to, contact your local Schneider Electric representative or download the meter brochure from www.schneider-electric.com.
Reference device or energy standard
To help ensure the accuracy of the test, it is recommended that you use a reference device or reference energy standard with a specified accuracy that is 6 to 10 times more accurate than the meter under test. Before you start testing, the reference device or energy standard should be warmed up as recommended by its manufacturer.
NOTE: Verify the accuracy and precision of all measurement equipment used in
accuracy testing (for example, voltmeters, ammeters, power factor meters).
Energy pulsing
You can configure the meter’s alarm /energy LED or one of the digital outputs for energy pulsing.
The meter is equipped with an alarm / energy pulsing LED. When configured for
energy pulsing, the LED emits pulses that are then used to determine the accuracy of the meter’s energy measurements.
Location of energy pulsing LED
PM5300
The meter is equipped with digital outputs. When you configure a digital output for
energy pulsing, the meter sends voltage pulses to the digital output port, which are then used to determine the accuracy of the meter’s energy measurements.

Verifying accuracy test

The following are guidelines for testing the meter; your meter shop may have specific testing methods.
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E in the USA or applicable local standards.
• Turn off all power supplying this device before working on it.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
• Do not exceed the device’s ratings for maximum limits.
• Verify the device’s power source meets the specifications for your device’s power supply.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
1. Turn off power to all test equipment. Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
2. Connect the test voltage and current source to the reference device or energy standard. Ensure all voltage inputs to the meter under test are connected in parallel and all currents inputs are connected in series.
Connecting the meter to the reference standard and test equipment
3. Connect the control equipment used for counting the standard output pulses using one of these methods:
Alarm / energy LED
Digital output
Align the red light sensor on the standard test bench armature over the front panel alarm / energy LED.
Connect the meter’s digital output to the standard test bench pulse counting connections.
NOTE: When selecting which method to use, be aware that the Alarm / energy LED
and digital outputs have different pulse rate limits. See “Energy pulsing considerations” on page 97 for details.
4. Before performing the verification test, let the test equipment power up the meter and apply voltage for at least 30 seconds. This helps stabilize the internal circuitry of
© 2014 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 95
the meter.
5. Set the meter’s power system to 3PH4W Wye Gnd (3-phase, 4 wire Wye with ground).

6. Depending on the method selected for counting the energy pulses, configure the meter’s alarm / energy LED or one of the digital outputs to perform energy pulsing. Set the meter’s energy pulse constant so it is in sync with the reference test equipment.
7. Perform accuracy verification on the test points. Run each test point for at least 30 seconds to allow the test bench equipment to read an adequate number of pulses. Allow 10 seconds of dwell time between test points.

Calculating the number of required pulses

The reference test equipment typically requires you to specify the number of pulses required for a test duration of “t” seconds.
Use the following formula to calculate the required number of pulses:
Where:
Ptot = total instantaneous power in kilowatts (kW)
K = the meter’s pulse constant setting, in pulses per kWh
t = test duration, in seconds (typically greater than 30 seconds)

Calculating total power

The test voltage and current source supplies the same test signals to both the energy reference/standard and the meter under test. Total power is calculated as follows:
For a balanced 3-phase Wye system:
NOTE: A balanced 3-phase system assumes the voltage, current and power factor
values are the same for all phases.
For a single-phase system:
Where:
Ptot = total instantaneous power in kilowatts (kW)
VLN = test point line-to-neutral voltage in volts [V]
I = test point current in amps [A]
PF = power factor
The result of the calculation is rounded up to the nearest integer.

Energy pulsing considerations

The meter’s alarm / energy LED and digital outputs are capable of energy pulsing within the following limits:
Energy pulsing limits
Description Alarm / energy LED Digital output
Maximum pulse frequency 50 Hz 25 Hz
Minimum pulse constant 1 pulse per k_h
Maximum pulse constant 9,999,999 pulses per k_h
The pulse rate depends on the voltage, current and PF of the input signal source, the number of phases, and the VT and CT ratios.
If Ptot is the instantaneous power (in kW) and K is the pulse constant (in pulses per k_h), then the pulse period is:
VT and CT considerations
The test points are always taken at the secondary side, regardless of whether VTs or CTs are used. Ptot is derived from the values of the voltage and current inputs at the secondary side, and takes into account the VT and CT ratios.
If VTs and CTs are used, you must include their primary and secondary ratings in the equation. For example, in a balanced 3-phase Wye system with VTs and CTs:
Total power limit for alarm / energy LED
Given the maximum pulse constant (Kmax) you can enter is 9,999,999 pulses per kWh, and the maximum pulse frequency for the alarm / energy LED is 83 Hz, the maximum total power (Max Ptot) the alarm / energy LED’s energy pulsing circuitry can handle is

Typical sources of test errors

If excessive errors are observed during accuracy testing, examine your test setup and test procedures to eliminate typical sources of measurement errors:
Loose connections of voltage or current circuits, often caused by worn-out contacts
Meter ambient temperature is significantly different than 23 °C (73 °F).
Floating (ungrounded) neutral voltage terminal in any configuration with unbalanced
Inadequate meter control power, resulting in the meter resetting during the test
Ambient light interference or sensitivity issues with the optical sensor.
Unstable power source causing energy pulsing fluctuations.
Incorrect test setup: not all phases connected to the reference device or the energy
Moisture (condensing humidity), debris or pollution present in the meter under test.
or terminals. Inspect terminals of test equipment, cables, test harness and the meter under test.

Chapter 13—Meter resets
Reset commands clear the meter’s onboard data logs and related registers. Meter resets are typically performed after you make changes to the meter’s basic setup parameters (such as power system, frequency, or PT/CT settings), to clear invalid or obsolete data in preparation for putting the meter into active service.
The meter reset commands are grouped into two categories: Global Resets and Single Resets.
LOST DATA
Record all important data before performing meter resets.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in data loss.

Global resets

To access the meter reset screens, navigate to Maint > Reset.
Reset menu tree
Global resets allow you to clear all data of a particular type, such as all energy values or all minimum/maximum values.
Meter Initialization is a special command that clears the meter’s recorded logged data,
counters and timers. It is common practice to initialize the meter after its configuration is completed, before adding it to an energy management system.
1. Navigate to Maint > Reset.
2. Move the cursor to point to Global Reset, then press Select.
3. Move the cursor to point to the parameter you want to reset, then press Reset.
