Energy Readings
The power meter calculates and stores accumulated energy values for real and reactive
energy (kWh and kVARh) both into and out of the load, and also accumulates absolute
apparent energy. Table 4–3 lists the energy values the power meter can accumulate.
The power meter can accumulate the energy values shown in Table 4–3 in one of two
modes: signed or unsigned (absolute). In signed mode, the power meter considers the
direction of power flow, allowing the magnitude of accumulated energy to increase and
decrease. In unsigned mode, the power meter accumulates energy as a positive value,
regardless of the direction of power flow. In other words, the energy value increases, even
during reverse power flow. The default accumulation mode is unsigned.
You can view accumulated energy from the display. The resolution of the energy value will
automatically change through the range of 000.000 kWh to 000,000 MWh (000.000 kVAh
to 000,000 MVARh), or it can be fixed. See Appendix C—Using the Command Interface
on page 83 for the contents of the registers.
For conditional accumulated energy readings, you can set the real, reactive, and apparent
energy accumulation to
OFF or ON when a particular condition occurs. You can do this over
the communications link using a command, or from a digital input change. For example,
you may want to track accumulated energy values during a particular process that is
controlled by a PLC. The power meter stores the date and time of the last reset of
conditional energy in non-volatile memory.
