Power system
This section outlines typical requirements for wiring the voltage and current inputs of the
meter to the electrical power system.
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
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.

Communications
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.

Serial communications
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

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide

Chapter 3—Hardware Reference

communicate with the slave devices, an RS-232 to RS-485 converter can be used as the
master device.

RS-485 wiring
Connect the devices on the RS-485 bus in a point-to-point configuration, with the (+) and
(-) terminals from one device connected to the corresponding (+) and (-) terminals on the
next device.

Ground the shield wiring at one end only (either at the master or the last slave device, but not both).

Data minus. This transmits/receives the inverting data signals.

Data plus. This transmits/receives the non-inverting data signal.

RS-485 maximum cable length
The total distance for devices connected on an RS-485 bus should not exceed 1200 m
(4000 ft).

RS-485 network configuration
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.

Digital outputs
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.
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.

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.

DANGER
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

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

Chapter 7—Alarms

Many of the 1-second alarms are three-phase alarms. Alarm setpoints are evaluated for
each of the three phases individually, but the alarm is reported as a single alarm. The
alarm pickup occurs when the first phase exceeds the alarm pickup magnitude for the
pickup time delay. The alarm is active as long as any phase remains in an alarm state.
The alarm dropout occurs when the last phase drops below the dropout magnitude for the
dropout time delay. See Figure 7–2 below.

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.

Digital Alarms
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.

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide

Chapter 7—Alarms

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.

Alarm Log
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.

Alarm Log Storage
The power and energy meter stores alarm log data in non-volatile memory. The size of
the alarm log is fixed at 40 records.

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
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.

Min/max values
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
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.

Chapter 9—Measurements and calculations

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide

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.

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).

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 Sliding 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.

Chapter 9—Measurements and calculations

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide

Synchronized demand
You can configure the demand calculations to be synchronized using a command sent
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
© 2015 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide

Chapter 9—Measurements and calculations

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.

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
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.
The following illustration shows how a change in load can affect predicted demand for
the interval. In this example, the interval is set to 15 minutes.

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

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
Power

Time
T1

Cost

Tariff energy
containers

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.

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.

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.

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.

•

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.

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.

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide

Chapter 10—Multi-tariff feature

Tariff creation method
Your device performs validation checks as you enter tariff information; it prompts you to
change the information that you have entered or set the tariff to disabled if the tariff
configuration is invalid. These checks can include:

•

Start and end times must be different (for example, you cannot create a tariff that
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).

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.

Configuring input mode tariffs using the front panel
When you set the tariff type to Input, the active tariff is determined by the status of the
digital inputs.
Digital inputs are available for tariffs if they are not used, or if they are only associated
with alarms (Normal). To make a digital input available, you must manually disconnect
the conflicting association before configuring tariffs.
You cannot configure any digital input tariff if digital input 1 is not available for
association. Likewise, digital input 2 must be available to select more than two tariffs.
The status of the digital inputs is used to calculate the binary value of the active tariff,
where off = 0 and on = 1. The calculation of the number of tariffs value can differ,
depending on the number of digital inputs that can be selected (i.e., inputs that can be
associated with multi-tariff).

Chapter 11—Power quality

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 =

 H2  2 +  H3  2 +  H4  2 

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 =

 HI2  2 +  HI3  2 +  HI4  2 

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.

Chapter 11—Power quality

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series user guide

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:
HC
THD = --------  100
H1
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:
HC
thd = -----------------------------------------  100
 H1  2 +  HC  2

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:
TDD =   HCIA  2 +  HCIB  2 +  HCIC  2    ILoad   100
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.
