Where:
•
EM = energy measured by the meter under test
•
ES = energy measured by the reference device or energy standard.
NOTE: If accuracy verification reveals inaccuracies in your meter, they may be caused
by typical sources of test errors. If there are no sources of test errors present, please
contact your local Schneider Electric representative.

Test points
The meter should be tested at full and light loads and at lagging (inductive) power
factors to help ensure testing over the entire range of the meter. The test amperage and
voltage input rating are labeled on the meter. Refer to the installation sheet or data
sheet for your meter’s nominal current, voltage and frequency specifications.

Energy pulsing considerations
The meter’s alarm / energy LED and digital outputs are capable of energy pulsing within
the following limits:

The pulse rate depends on the voltage, current and PF of the input signal source, the
number of phases, and the VT and CT ratios.
