WHY DO THESE CHANGES MATTER?
• Changes to our loads have changed the
basic computations of metering
• When loads were linear the power
triangle was all we needed to know

Phase Rotation:
The order in which the
phases reach peak
voltage.
There are only two
possible sequences:
A-B-C (previous slide)
C-B-A (this slide)
Phase rotation is important because the direction of rotation of a three phase
motor is determined by the phase order.

Resistors are measured in Ohms. When an AC voltage is applied to a resistor, the
current is in phase. A resistive load is considered a “linear” load because when the
voltage is sinusoidal the current is also sinusoidal.

AC THEORY – INDUCTIVE LOAD
Inductors are measured in Henries. When an AC voltage is applied to an inductor,
the current is 90 degrees out of phase. We say the current “lags” the voltage. A
inductive load is considered a “linear” load because when the voltage is sinusoidal
the current is also sinusoidal.

Capacitors are measured in Farads. When an AC voltage is applied to a capacitor,
the current is 90 degrees out of phase. We say the current “leads” the voltage. A
capacitive load is considered a “linear” load because when the voltage is
sinusoidal the current is sinusoidal.
Slide 35
AC THEORY – POWER
• Power is defined as: P = VI
• Since the voltage and current at every point
in time for an AC signal is different, we have
to distinguish between instantaneous power
and average power. Generally when we say
“power” we mean average power.
• Average power is only defined over an
integral number of cycles.

AC THEORY – DEFINITIONS
• Inductive Reactance – The inductive opposition in a AC circuit = XL
• Capacitive Reactance – The capacitive opposition in a AC circuit =
XC
• Impedance – Total opposition to the flow of current in an AC circuit
which includes resistance, XL and XC.
 Impedance = Z = √ [R2 + (XL – XC)2]
• Resistive Loads – Light bulbs, heater, etc
• Inductive Loads – Electric motors, fans, air conditioners, etc.
• Capacitive Loads – Capacitors used to compensate for inductive
loads
Slide 38
AC THEORY – POWER TRIANGLE
(SINUSOIDAL WAVEFORMS)
If V = Sin(ωt) and I = Sin(ωt - θ) (the load is linear) then:
Active Power = VICos(θ) Watts
Reactive Power = VISin(θ) VARs
Apparent Power = VI VA
Power Factor = Active/Apparent = Cos(θ)
Watts
VARs
Slide 39
AC THEORY – ACTIVE POWER
(REAL POWER (KW))
• In a circuit that contains only resistance:
– Real Power (kW) = VRMS * IRMS
• In a circuit that contains resistance and reactance:
– Real Power (kW) = VRMS * IRMS * COS (θ)
Slide 40
AC THEORY – APPARENT POWER
(KVA)
• Kilo-Volt-Amperes (kVA) are the product of Volts and the Total Current which
flows because of the voltage.
• In a circuit that contains only resistance, KVA (apparent power) is equal to the
Real Power (kW).
• When reactance is introduced into a circuit, and VRMS and IRMS are measured
quantities, then:
• kVA = VRMS * IRMS
• In a circuit where only Real Power (kW) and Reactive Power (kVAR) are
measured quantities, then:
• kVA = √(kW2 + kVAR2)
Slide 41
AC THEORY – REACTIVE POWER
(KVAR)
• Reactive Volt Amperes are the product of the total Volt-
Amperes and the Sine of the angle of displacement
between Voltage and Current.
• Reactive Power (kVAR) = VRMS * IRMS * SIN(θ)
• kVAR reduces the efficiency in the distribution system,
and is NOT used to deliver active power (kW) to the load.

THREE PHASE POWER
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
If energy be supplied to any system of conductors
through N wires, the total power in the system is
given by the algebraic sum of the readings of N
wattmeters, so arranged that each of the N wires
contains one current coil, the corresponding voltage
coil being connected between that wire and some
common point. If this common point is on one of the
N wires, the measurement may be made by the use
of N-1 wattmeters.
Slide 50
THREE PHASE POWER
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
• Simply put – We can measure the power in a N
wire system by measuring the power in N-1
conductors.
• For example, in a 4-wire, 3-phase system we
need to measure the power in 3 circuits.
Slide 51
THREE PHASE POWER
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
• In practice, Blondel’s Theorem is not strictly
adhered to in all applications.
• Meter manufacturers have found ways to design
meters that allow adequate accuracy without
the required number of stators.
Slide 52
THREE PHASE POWER
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
• One such meter is the common (form 2S) house meter.
• It is a single stator meter that is specifically designed to meter
a 3-wire circuit.
Slide 53
THREE PHASE POWER
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
• Additionally, other meters may be connected in
configurations, which may also provide adequate
levels of accuracy without the required number of
stators.
• These are often referred to as Non-Blondel
configurations.
Slide 54
THREE PHASE POWER
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
Why are Non-Blondel circuits challenging?
• Makes the assumption that the service voltages
are balanced.
• The assumption may not be true so there are
likely to be measurement errors.
Slide 55
THREE PHASE POWER
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
Why are Non-Blondel meters used?
• Fewer elements in the meter means lower meter
costs.
• Fewer PTs and CTs mean lower installation costs.
Slide 56

Slide 57
THREE PHASE POWER
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
Non-Blondel Compliant
Slide 58
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
Three wires
Two voltage measurements with one
side common to Line 2
Current measurements on lines 1 & 3.
This satisfies Blondel’s Theorem.
Slide 59
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
Four wires
Two voltage measurements to neutral
Current measurements are on lines 1
and 3 but not line 2.
This DOES NOT satisfy Blondel’s
Theorem.
Slide 60
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
In the previous example:
What are the “ASSUMPTIONS”?
When do we get errors?
Slide 61
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
Slide 62
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
• Phase B power would be:
P = VbIbCosθ
• But we aren’t measuring Vb
• What we are measuring is:
IbVaCos(60- θ) + IbVcCos(60+ θ)
Slide 63
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
Pb = IbVaCos(60- θ) + IbVcCos(60+ θ)
Applying the trig identity
IbVa(Cos(60)Cos(θ) + Sin(60)Sin(θ))
IbVc (Cos(60)Cos(θ) - Sin(60)Sin(θ))
Ib(Va+Vc)0.5Cos(θ) + Ib(Vc-Va) 0.866Sin(θ)
Assuming
Assume Vb = Va = Vc
And, they are exactly 120° apart
Pb = Ib(2Vb)(0.5Cosθ) = IbVbCosθ
Slide 64
BLONDEL’S THEOREM
• If Va ≠ Vb ≠ Vc then the error is
• %Error =
-Ib{(Va+Vc)/(2Vb) - (Va-Vc) 0.866Sin(θ)/(VbCos(θ))
How big is this in reality? If
Va=117, Vb=120, Vc=119, PF=1 then E=-1.67%
Va=117, Vb=116, Vc=119, PF=.866 then E=-1.67%
Slide 65
AC THEORY – POWER
• Power is defined as: P = VI
• Since the voltage and current at every point
in time for an AC signal is different, we have
to distinguish between instantaneous power
and average power.
• Generally when we say “power” we mean
average power.
• Average power is only defined over an
integer number of cycles.
Slide 66
HARMONICS
CURSE OF THE MODERN WORLD
• Every thing discussed so far was based on
“Linear” loads.
For linear loads the current is always a simple sine
wave. Everything we have discussed is true.
• For nearly a century after AC power was in
use ALL loads were linear.
• Today, many loads are NON-LINEAR.
Slide 67
HARMONICS - DEFINITION
• Non-sinusoidal complex waveforms are constructed by
“adding” together a series of sine wave frequencies
known as “Harmonics.”
• Harmonics is the generalized term used to describe the
distortion of a sinusoidal waveform by waveforms of
different frequencies.

Important things to note:
 Because the voltage is NOT
distorted, the harmonic in the
current does not contribute to active
power.
 It does contribute to the Apparent
power.
 Does the Power Triangle hold
 There is considerable disagreement
about the definition of various power
quantities when harmonics are
present.

3 PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT
• We have discussed how to measure and view power
quantities (W, VARs, VA) in a single phase case.
• How do we combine them in a multi-phase system?
• Two common approaches:
Arithmetic
Vectorial
Slide 71
3 PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT
Arithmetic vs Vectoral
• Both a magnitude and a direction must be specified for
a vector quantity.
• In contrast, a scalar quantity which can be quantified
with just a number.
• Any number of vector quantities of the same type (i.e.,
same units) can be combined by basic vector
operations.

STANDARDS CHANGES
New Revision of C12.20 in 2015
 Polyphase meters tested using polyphase
 Recommended 2015, required 2020
 Unbalanced load testing required
 Full harmonic testing required
 0.1% Accuracy Class added
 Specific call out of Non-Blondel applications where C12.20 does not
apply
 Detailed requirements and specs for test outputs added
Slide 81
STANDARDS CHANGES
New Revision of C12.20 in 2015
 Tighter reference condition performance specifications
 When using polyphase loading meters must be tested in each
configuration used
Slide 82
STANDARDS CHANGES
New Revision of C12.1 in 2015
 0.5% Accuracy Class added
 Testing required for unbalanced loads
 Testing required under unbalanced conditions
 Tighter reference performance requirements
 Bi-directional energy flow testing
 Extensive update on in-service testing
Slide 83
STANDARDS CHANGES
New Revision of C12.10 in 2015
 Accuracy tests moved here from C12.1
 Much broader safety requirements
 Coordinated effort with UL2735
 Utilities exempt from UL2735 but only if they own and install the
equipment
Slide 84
STANDARDS CHANGES
New Revision of C12.9 in 2014
 Full specifications for test plugs included in standard
 Ensures safe operation between all switches and all plugs
 previously some combinations produced safety hazards
 New barrier requirements between switch elements
Slide 85
STANDARDS CHANGES
Communications Standards
 New C12.19 which replaces C12.18 and C12.19 is in ballot process
 Major changes – major controversy has held up approval for two
years
 Standard will still not guarantee inter-operability
 C12.23 the “Compliance Testing” standard is nearly complete
Slide 86
NEXT GENERATION STANDARDS
ANSI C12.46
 New standard in development to replace C12.1 and C12.20
 Structured like OIML IR-46
 A true digital age standard
 Applies to ALL energy measurements
 Watts, VA and VAR
 Contains precise definitions for the quantities based on digitally
sampled waveforms
Slide 87
NEXT GENERATION STANDARDS
ANSI C12.46
 Covers ALL waveform types
 sinusoidal, harmonic, time varying
 Defines the meter as everything under the cover
 If there is auxiliary functions in the meter they must be fully
operational during accuracy testing
 If a option is added to a meter, it must be tested with the option
running to remain qualified
Slide 88
NEXT GENERATION STANDARDS
ANSI C12.46
 View of accuracy changes
 Currently changes with respect to reference
 New approach is absolute error
Philosophy of C12.46 – When a meter is
claimed to be of a specific accuracy class, for
example , AC 0.2%, then it’s accuracy under all
commonly occurring conditions should be within
±0.2% maximum error.

  • 40. Slide 40 AC THEORY – APPARENT POWER (KVA) • Kilo-Volt-Amperes (kVA) are the product of Volts and the Total Current which flows because of the voltage. • In a circuit that contains only resistance, KVA (apparent power) is equal to the Real Power (kW). • When reactance is introduced into a circuit, and VRMS and IRMS are measured quantities, then: • kVA = VRMS * IRMS • In a circuit where only Real Power (kW) and Reactive Power (kVAR) are measured quantities, then: • kVA = √(kW2 + kVAR2)
  • 41. Slide 41 AC THEORY – REACTIVE POWER (KVAR) • Reactive Volt Amperes are the product of the total Volt- Amperes and the Sine of the angle of displacement between Voltage and Current. • Reactive Power (kVAR) = VRMS * IRMS * SIN(θ) • kVAR reduces the efficiency in the distribution system, and is NOT used to deliver active power (kW) to the load.

  • 49. Slide 49 THREE PHASE POWER BLONDEL’S THEOREM If energy be supplied to any system of conductors through N wires, the total power in the system is given by the algebraic sum of the readings of N wattmeters, so arranged that each of the N wires contains one current coil, the corresponding voltage coil being connected between that wire and some common point. If this common point is on one of the N wires, the measurement may be made by the use of N-1 wattmeters.
  • 50. Slide 50 THREE PHASE POWER BLONDEL’S THEOREM • Simply put – We can measure the power in a N wire system by measuring the power in N-1 conductors. • For example, in a 4-wire, 3-phase system we need to measure the power in 3 circuits.
  • 51. Slide 51 THREE PHASE POWER BLONDEL’S THEOREM • In practice, Blondel’s Theorem is not strictly adhered to in all applications. • Meter manufacturers have found ways to design meters that allow adequate accuracy without the required number of stators.
  • 52. Slide 52 THREE PHASE POWER BLONDEL’S THEOREM • One such meter is the common (form 2S) house meter. • It is a single stator meter that is specifically designed to meter a 3-wire circuit.
  • 53. Slide 53 THREE PHASE POWER BLONDEL’S THEOREM • Additionally, other meters may be connected in configurations, which may also provide adequate levels of accuracy without the required number of stators. • These are often referred to as Non-Blondel configurations.
  • 54. Slide 54 THREE PHASE POWER BLONDEL’S THEOREM Why are Non-Blondel circuits challenging? • Makes the assumption that the service voltages are balanced. • The assumption may not be true so there are likely to be measurement errors.
  • 55. Slide 55 THREE PHASE POWER BLONDEL’S THEOREM Why are Non-Blondel meters used? • Fewer elements in the meter means lower meter costs. • Fewer PTs and CTs mean lower installation costs.

  • 58. Slide 58 BLONDEL’S THEOREM Three wires Two voltage measurements with one side common to Line 2 Current measurements on lines 1 & 3. This satisfies Blondel’s Theorem.
  • 59. Slide 59 BLONDEL’S THEOREM Four wires Two voltage measurements to neutral Current measurements are on lines 1 and 3 but not line 2. This DOES NOT satisfy Blondel’s Theorem.
  • 60. Slide 60 BLONDEL’S THEOREM In the previous example: What are the “ASSUMPTIONS”? When do we get errors?
  • 62. Slide 62 BLONDEL’S THEOREM • Phase B power would be: P = VbIbCosθ • But we aren’t measuring Vb • What we are measuring is: IbVaCos(60- θ) + IbVcCos(60+ θ)
  • 63. Slide 63 BLONDEL’S THEOREM Pb = IbVaCos(60- θ) + IbVcCos(60+ θ) Applying the trig identity IbVa(Cos(60)Cos(θ) + Sin(60)Sin(θ)) IbVc (Cos(60)Cos(θ) - Sin(60)Sin(θ)) Ib(Va+Vc)0.5Cos(θ) + Ib(Vc-Va) 0.866Sin(θ) Assuming Assume Vb = Va = Vc And, they are exactly 120° apart Pb = Ib(2Vb)(0.5Cosθ) = IbVbCosθ
  • 64. Slide 64 BLONDEL’S THEOREM • If Va ≠ Vb ≠ Vc then the error is • %Error = -Ib{(Va+Vc)/(2Vb) - (Va-Vc) 0.866Sin(θ)/(VbCos(θ)) How big is this in reality? If Va=117, Vb=120, Vc=119, PF=1 then E=-1.67% Va=117, Vb=116, Vc=119, PF=.866 then E=-1.67%
  • 65. Slide 65 AC THEORY – POWER • Power is defined as: P = VI • Since the voltage and current at every point in time for an AC signal is different, we have to distinguish between instantaneous power and average power. • Generally when we say “power” we mean average power. • Average power is only defined over an integer number of cycles.
  • 66. Slide 66 HARMONICS CURSE OF THE MODERN WORLD • Every thing discussed so far was based on “Linear” loads. For linear loads the current is always a simple sine wave. Everything we have discussed is true. • For nearly a century after AC power was in use ALL loads were linear. • Today, many loads are NON-LINEAR.
  • 67. Slide 67 HARMONICS - DEFINITION • Non-sinusoidal complex waveforms are constructed by “adding” together a series of sine wave frequencies known as “Harmonics.” • Harmonics is the generalized term used to describe the distortion of a sinusoidal waveform by waveforms of different frequencies.
