Note General Safety Precautions
• Failure to observe and follow the instructions provided in the equipment manual(s)
could cause irreversible damage to the equipment and could lead to property
damage, personal injury and/or death.
• Before attempting to use the equipment, it is important that all danger and
caution indicators are reviewed.
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer or
functions abnormally, proceed with caution. Otherwise, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired and can result in Impaired operation and injury.
• Caution: Hazardous voltages can cause shock, burns or death.
• Installation/service personnel must be familiar with general device test practices,
electrical awareness and safety precautions must be followed.
• Before performing visual inspections, tests, or periodic maintenance on this device
or associated circuits, isolate or disconnect all hazardous live circuits and sources
of electric power.
• Failure to shut equipment off prior to removing the power connections could
expose you to dangerous voltages causing injury or death.
• All recommended equipment that should be grounded and must have a reliable
and un-compromised grounding path for safety purposes, protection against
electromagnetic interference and proper device operation.
• Equipment grounds should be bonded together and connected to the facility’s
main ground system for primary power.
• Keep all ground leads as short as possible.
• At all times, equipment ground terminal must be grounded during device
operation and service.
• In addition to the safety precautions mentioned all electrical connections made
must respect the applicable local jurisdiction electrical code.
• Before working on CTs, they must be short-circuited.
• To be certified for revenue metering, power providers and utility companies must
verify that the billing energy meter performs to the stated accuracy. To confirm the
meter’s performance and calibration, power providers use field test standards to
ensure that the unit’s energy measurements are correct.

Three-Phase PowerMeasurement
This introduction to three-phase power and power measurement is intended to provide
only a brief overview of the subject. The professional meter engineer or meter technician
should refer to more advanced documents such as the EEI Handbook for Electricity
Metering and the application standards for more in-depth and technical coverage of the
subject.
1.1 Three-Phase System Configurations
Three-phase power is most commonly used in situations where large amounts of power
will be used because it is a more effective way to transmit the power and because it
provides a smoother delivery of power to the end load. There are two commonly used
connections for three-phase power, a wye connection or a delta connection. Each
connection has several different manifestations in actual use.
When attempting to determine the type of connection in use, it is a good practice to follow
the circuit back to the transformer that is serving the circuit. It is often not possible to
conclusively determine the correct circuit connection simply by counting the wires in the
service or checking voltages. Checking the transformer connection will provide conclusive
evidence of the circuit connection and the relationships between the phase voltages and
ground.
1.1.1 Wye Connection
The wye connection is so called because when you look at the phase relationships and the
winding relationships between the phases it looks like a wye (Y). Fig. 1.1 depicts the winding
relationships for a wye-connected service. In a wye service the neutral (or center point of
the wye) is typically grounded. This leads to common voltages of 208/120 and 480/277
(where the first number represents the phase-to-phase voltage and the second number
represents the phase-to-ground voltage).

CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT
FIGURE 1–1: Three-phase Wye winding
The three voltages are separated by 120oelectrically. Under balanced load conditions with
unity power factor the currents are also separated by 120o. However, unbalanced loads
and other conditions can cause the currents to depart from the ideal 120oseparation.
Three-phase voltages and currents are usually represented with a phasor diagram. A
phasor diagram for the typical connected voltages and currents is shown below.
FIGURE 1–2: Three-phase Voltage and Current Phasors for Wye Winding
The phasor diagram shows the 120° angular separation between the phase voltages. The
phase-to-phase voltage in a balanced three-phase wye system is 1.732 times the phase-
to-neutral voltage. The center point of the wye is tied together and is typically grounded.
