Triacta GATEWAY

System Description

The Triacta GATEWAY is a modular, high density electrical meter and pulse collector system for Measurement and Verification, Energy Management, and tenant billing applications. It is an industrial grade, rapidly deployable platform with powerful communications options that will fit any building use.

The Triacta GATEWAY system architecture consists of separate Triacta GATEWAY Meter Base and Meter Head units. The Meter Base can be installed, and the electrical connections terminated by electrical contractors, independently of the TRIACTA GATEWAY Meter Head. The Triacta GATEWAY Meter Head may be installed at a later time by a technician with no electrical accreditation.

Figure 2: Triacta GATEWAY External View

Page 13

Triacta GATEWAY

Figure 3: Triacta GATEWAY Internal view

Figure 2 shows the internal view of the Triacta GATEWAY .

Triacta GATEWAY Meter Head

The Meter Head unit supports the following:

 One to four measurement modules each supporting twelve inputs for 80mA CTs,

100mA CTs, 333mV CTs or pulse counters.

 Large front panel 4X20 LCD display for manual meter reading and diagnostics  On-board Wifi for craft interface hotspot  On-board 10/100BaseT Ethernet  Two USB-2.0 ports for future use  Dual processor architecture for enhanced system capability and flexibility

Triacta GATEWAY Meter Base

The Triacta GATEWAY Meter Base supports connection points for the following:

 One or two Voltage Reference Inputs  One optional Auxiliary Control Voltage Input  One to four self-shorting input modules supporting up to 12, 24, 36 or 48 wire pairs for

CT’s or pulse output devices.

 Optional future communication modules.

Triacta GATEWAY Voltage Module

The Voltage Module has two separate Sense Voltage inputs, an Auxiliary Control Voltage input, and a control voltage jumper.

Page 14

Triacta GATEWAY

WARNING

WARNING The control Voltage Jumper must be removed if there is a separate

voltage source connected to the Auxiliary Control Voltage Input.

Figure 4: Voltage Module

The two sense voltage inputs (Vref1 and Vref2; A, B, C, N) provide the phase voltages (VAC) used for metering one or two different service types. Ref 1 could be used for 120V/208V 3ph 4wire, and Ref. 2 could be used for a 277V/480V 3 ph 4 wire service. Either voltage reference can be assigned to any configured meter point, regardless of which CT module or which CT inputs the meter point uses.

When the control voltage jumper is installed it connects Phase A from the Vref1 sense voltage input to the Triacta GATEWAY device control voltage circuitry. This eliminates the requirement for a separate voltage connection to the Auxiliary Control Voltage Input.

Separate control and sense voltage wiring is required when using the Triacta GATEWAY with a Triacta PT Module, or when the meter is expected to be ON at all times - even when the sense voltage source is OFF. I.E. the sense voltage is from an emergency power panel that is not always ON.

Both the control voltage and sense voltage inputs will accept panel voltages from 120VAC to 277VAC. If the reference voltage for the circuit/s to be metered is larger than 277VAC, external potential transformers (PTs) are required.

Figures 16 and 17 show typical installations with Triacta PT modules. Figures 18 and 19 show typical implementations with discrete external transformers.

Typically, external metering PTs are sized to convert from the panel’s line-to-line or line-toneutral voltages (ie 600VAC or 347VAC) down to 120VAC. The appropriate PT ratio (ie 5:1 or 2.89:1) must be programmed into the Triacta GATEWAY configuration as per the “Triacta GATEWAY Flex Configuration Tool Guide” to provide correct meter readings.

Page 15

Triacta GATEWAY

Triacta GATEWAY CT / Pulse Wiring Modules

Current transformers and pulse output devices are connected to the Triacta GATEWAY via specially designed self-shorting CT / Pulse Wiring Modules as shown below. The self-shorting mechanism on each CT / Pulse Wiring Module is activated when the Triacta GATEWAY Meter Head unit is not installed.

Each CT / Pulse Wiring Module supports 12 inputs pairs, numbered P1 to P12. The Triacta GATEWAY Meter Base unit supports up to 4 CT / Pulse Wiring Modules for a total of 48 input pairs. The number of inputs available of each type depends on the number of measurement modules and CT / Pulse Wiring Modules installed in the meter.

The two inputs on each input pair are designated as + or -. If the CT / Pulse Wiring Module is for CT connections, the X1 / X2 leads from each CT must respectively connect to the + / inputs. If the CT / Pulse Wiring Module is for pulse output devices, the + / - wires for each pair connect as per the specific pulse output device type.

Each input pair on the CT / Pulse Wiring Module also has a colour pair designation that matches on of the colour pairs available in an optional Triacta GATEWAY CT/Pulse Termination Cable. Table 3 describes the termination cable wire pair colour scheme for each input pair on the CT / Pulse Wiring Module.

The CT / Pulse Wiring Module is also available with a CT/Pulse Termination cable pre-wired and over mold protected to the module as per the colour pair table.

Triacta GATEWAY

Install CT / Pulse Wiring Modules into the Meter Base Unit

In most cases the CT / Pulse Wiring Modules are shipped pre-installed in the Meter Base module. If new modules are being added or replaced, insert them as shown in Fig 8 below.

Figure 8: Installing CT / Pulse Wiring Modules into the Meter Base Unit

Install disconnect devices for sense and control voltages

Each Triacta GATEWAY device must be connected to all sense and control voltages through properly rated (15 Amp) disconnects or breakers that disconnect all line wires so that they can be powered down. Each disconnect or breaker must be located within easy reach of the meter operator, and must be labeled to indicate which set of device inputs it supplies power to.

One disconnect is required for each separate sense or control voltage input.

For installations with multiple Triacta GATEWAY devices, the same disconnects can be used to power multiple meters. Each disconnect must be labeled for all devices it supplies power to.

The disconnect device or devices must meet IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-3 and/or comply with the local electrical code.

Connect Control and Sense Voltage Wiring

For a single-phase panel, use a 3-wire, 14 AWG (1.63 mm2), 90°C (194°F) cable.

For a three-phase Wye panel, use a 4-wire, 14 AWG (1.63 mm2), 90°C (194°F) cable.

For a three-phase Delta service, use a 3-wire, 14 AWG (1.63 mm2), 90°C (194°F) cable.

Metallic, flexible armored cable (BX cable) is recommended for commercial installations.

Table 3: CT / Pulse Wiring Module colour pair identification

Complete the installation record provided with each Triacta GATEWAY system to record which CTs or pulse devices are connected to each input pair on each CT / Pulse Wiring Module. See Figure 23 for an example.

Connect Pulse Inputs

Connect each external pulse output device to be monitored (gas, water, BTU meter, …) to a separate pulse input pair (+/-) on any of the CT / Pulse Wiring Modules designated as a pulse input module.

Each pulse input is compatible with both dry (reed) and solid-state Form A contacts.

When the pulsing device provides solid-state form A outputs, the negative terminal from the source device must be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the Triacta GATEWAY pulse in terminal block.

When the pulsing device provides dry contact (reed) pulse outputs the pulse input wire pairs are not polarity-sensitive.

The maximum input pulse rate is 200 Hz (maximum), and the minimum input pulse width is

2.0 ms.

The recommended wiring for pulse input pairs is 22 AWG shielded twisted pair wires for distances up to 300 ft (100 m). Use larger gauge wire for larger distances up to 600 ft (200 m).

For each external pulse generating device, document the Wiring Module number and the wire pair it is connected to, and the units per pulse output of the device.

Connect the Ethernet Cable

Connect the Triacta GATEWAY to a 10/100BaseT 802.3-2002 compliant IP network or device by connecting a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 Ethernet port on the Meter Head unit. The Ethernet port enables TR3/TR5 data reporting and BAS Modbus IP or (future) BACnet TCP/IP services to the Triacta GATEWAY device.

Route the Ethernet cable through one of the punch-outs in the bottom of the Meter Base.

There are two LEDS on the RJ45 jack which will indicate the status of the Ethernet connection as shown in the following table:

Table 4: Ethernet Port LED Indicator Status

Install the Cover

The cover is installed from the top by holding it at a shallow angle and dragging down until the inside of the drip cover catches the flange at the top of the Meter Base.

Figure 22: Installing the cover

Page 28

Triacta GATEWAY

Move both locking bars out to each side.

Centre the cover over and above the base and move the cover down at a shallow angle until the 'v' groove at the cover locates on the top mounting stud

All conduit adapters must be firmly seated to ensure that cover closes.

When the cover is firmly seated, slide the locking bars inward to secure the cover. Pull up on each bottom corner to ensure that the locking bars are seated properly.

When the cover locking bars are pushed in, the utility seal holes should be in alignment allowing for a Service Utility seal wire to be installed as shown.

Record the Meter Map

If an Installation Record was not provided with the metering equipment to direct the installation the final step in the installation process is to complete the Installation Record to record the mapping of the circuits being measured to the meter points. A copy of Figure 23, which is organized to resemble a breaker panel, is provided with each Triacta GATEWAY, and is to be completed and delivered to your system administrator.

Meter Head Servicing or Replacement

Before removing the Meter Head, be sure to turn off all the power feed/s to the Triacta GATEWAY Meter Base unit. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.

Push up firmly on the Meter Head to disconnect the Meter Head edge connectors from the Voltage, Wiring and Communication Modules installed in the Meter Base unit.

Slide the Meter Head up so that the alignment tabs on the Meter Head go behind the alignment pins on the Meter Base unit as shown in the diagram below.

To replace/reinstall the Meter Head, slide the Meter Head down from above so that each of the alignment tabs on the Meter Head unit go behind the alignment pins on the Meter Base as shown in the diagram below.

Push down firmly on the Meter Head unit to fully insert the Meter Head unit edge connectors into the Voltage, Wiring and Communication Modules installed in the Meter Base unit.

In most cases the Triacta GATEWAY will be shipped with the Meter Head unit pre-assembled into a Meter Base unit. Alternately, the Meter Base unit can be pre-installed early in the construction phase (ie as the electrical panels are being built) and the Meter Head unit can be inserted later when the installation is ready to be commissioned.

Appendix 1: Current Transformers Overview

Current transformers (CTs) measure the current flowing through a wire. They are installed around each wire for each circuit to be monitored and connected to the Triacta GATEWAY via a Triacta GATEWAY CT / Pulse Wiring Module.

CT Types

Current transformers are classified by their secondary output (80 mA, 100 mA, 5A, or 333 mVolt) and by their physical appearance (solid core, split core, or rope).

Table 5 lists the Triacta GATEWAY CT Measurement Modules and the types of CT that can be used with each module. The table also indicates the maximum distance and corresponding wire gauge for connecting each type of CT to the Triacta GATEWAY.

For Triacta GATEWAY release 1.0, Rogowski Coil CTs must have an external integrator. Future releases will provide an internal integrator function which will allow the Rowgowski Coil CTs to be directly connected to the Triacta GATEWAY.

Table 5: Current transformer specifications

As shown in table 5, 5 Amp secondary CTs can work with the Triacta GATEWAY by using Triacta 5A:100mA or 5A:80mA CT convertors (figure 24). One convertor is required for each 5A secondary CT.

Figure 24: 5A solid core CT with 5A:80mA converter and shunt connector

Page 33

Triacta GATEWAY

CT Orientation

When installing each CT, ensure that the orientation of the CT matches the direction of the energy flow as indicated on each CT.

The direction of energy flow is identified by either;

1) a label - “This side towards source”,

2) an arrow - the arrow points away from the source, or

3) a stamp or label indicating which side is H1 - the H1 side faces towards the source.

If the orientation is backward, the meter readings will be incorrect.

Figure 25: Triacta 100 or 80 mA current transformer

Wiring polarity

Each CT has two output wires or posts. One output is X1 (positive) and the other output is X2 (neutral). The X1 output is normally labeled directly on the CT. It may be explicitly identified as X1, or it may be identified with a dot. If there is no X1 marking, refer to the CT manufacturer’s documentation to determine the proper polarity.

The X1/X2 outputs from each CT for each circuit must be connected to the X1/X2 inputs of each corresponding CT input connection on the appropriate Triacta GATEWAY CT input module.

When installing CTs in a panel, ensure that all CT wiring is labeled with the proper X1/X2 designations, or that it follows a standard X1/X2 colour pair mapping. If the

CT wiring polarity is incorrect, the meter readings will be incorrect.

CT Phasing

Depending on the number of voltage phases and the number of wires connected to each circuit being measured, a minimum of one, two or three CTs are required for each meter point to correctly measure energy usage by the circuit.

Table 6: CT Phasing

Ensure that the correct number of CTs are properly installed on each circuit, and that the X1/X2 wire pair connected to each CT is labeled with the correct circuit name and phase.

Ensure that the phase of the wire that each CT is installed on matches the sense voltage input phase connections as shown in the relevant voltage connections drawings.

Note that standard circuit wire phase colours and/or breaker positions do not always match from one panel or circuit breaker to another. It is recommended that the phasing is verified from the circuit to the sense voltage source with a voltmeter and not just by visual inspection.

If the CT phases do not match the sense voltage phases, the meter readings will be incorrect.

CT Shorting and Termination

The X1 and X2 outputs for all 5A, 100mA or 80mA CTs MUST always be either shorted or terminated to a meter when the circuits that they are installed on are energized. Failure to terminate or short a CT on an energized circuit can cause dangerous voltages on the open CT leads that can result in a fire hazard and/or catastrophic damage to the CT.

The CT / Pulse Wiring Modules have built-in shorting that is activated whenever the Triacta GATEWAY Meter Head unit is not installed.

5A CTs should have their own shorting/shunt connector that allows each set of 5A CTs to be independently shorted at the 5A secondary (see Figure 24). For safe access, the 5A converters and shorting should be installed in a dedicated accessible metering compartment located in a main distribution panel, or in a separate metal enclosure.

CT/Pulse Wiring Modules

Two types of CT/Pulse Wiring modules are available for the Triacta GATEWAY. A CT/Pulse Wiring - Screw Terminal module and a CT/Pulse Wiring - 12Pair Cable Module.

The CT/Pulse Wiring - Screw Terminal module has built-in screw terminal termination blocks for direct connections of up to 12 CT wire pairs. W hen connecting CTs to this module each CT is connected to one of the wire pair connection points labeled from P-1 to P-12. The X1 and X2 inputs for each CT are labeled +/- for each wire pair connection point.

The CT/Pulse Wiring - 12Pair Cable Module provides a 4 meter long cable with 12 uniquely colour coded wire pairs. Each CT is connected to one of the twisted-pair colour wire pairs in the 12-pair CT connection cable. The colour codes for the X1 (positive) and

X2 (neutral) connections for each of the 12 CTs are listed in Table 3. The first colour of each colour pair is connected to X1, and the second colour of each colour pair is connected to X2 of each CT.

Typically, the CT/Pulse Wiring - 12Pair Cable Module would be used when all CTs are located in the same distribution panel. The CT cable can be easily routed from the Triacta GATEWAY to the distribution panel and the CTs can then be direct connected to the CT cable inside the panel.

If CTs are located in different panels, or if there is a very long distance from the CTs to the Triacta GATEWAY, it may be more desirable to route separate wire pairs from each CT direct to the CT/Pulse Wiring - Screw Terminal module.

If more than one type of CT Measurement Module (ie 80ma, 100mA or 333mV) is installed in the METER HEAD unit, ensure that all of the CTs on each CT / Pulse Wiring Module are of the same type. Do not mix CTs of different types on the same CT/Pulse wiring module. The position of each CT / Pulse Wiring Module in the Meter Base unit for each type of CTs much also match the position of the corresponding CT Measurement module in the METER HEAD unit.

CT Naming designations

Each CT is physically identified by the CT/Pulse wiring module slot and wire pair it is connected to, and then logically identified (named) by a meter number and an element number (meterelement).

The Triacta GATEWAY can support any combination of single element, two element and/or three element meters in any order, up to a total of 12, 24, 36 or 48 elements depending on the number of installed CT modules. The number of meters and the number of elements per meter are determined by the metering configuration programmed into the meter.

The following table shows some sample CT naming configurations
