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).

Power demand
Power demand is a measure of average power consumption over a fixed time interval.
NOTE: If not specified, references to “demand” is assumed to mean “power demand”.
The meter measures instantaneous consumption and can calculate demand using
various methods.

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 and 5-minute subinterval).

To be compatible with electric utility billing practices, the power meter provides the

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

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 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
