LED indicators on the display

The display has two LED indicators.

A Alarm / energy pulsing LED (orange)

B Heartbeat / communications LED (green)

Alarm / energy pulsing LED

The alarm / energy pulsing LED can be configured for alarm notification or energy
pulsing.
When configured for alarm notification, this LED flashes when a high, medium or
low priority alarm is tripped. The LED provides a visual indication of an active
alarm condition or an inactive but unacknowledged high priority alarm.

14 EAV15107-EN05
Hardware reference PowerLogic™ PM5300 series

When configured for energy pulsing, this LED flashes at a rate proportional to the
amount of energy consumed. This is typically used to verify the power meter’s
accuracy.
NOTE: The alarm / energy pulsing LED on the MID model is permanently set
for energy pulsing and cannot be disabled or used for alarms.

Heartbeat / serial communications LED

The heartbeat / serial communications LED blinks to indicate the meter’s
operation and serial Modbus communications status.
The LED blinks at a slow, steady rate to indicate the meter is operational. The LED
flashes at a variable, faster rate when the meter is communicating over a Modbus
serial communications port.
You cannot configure this LED for other purposes.
NOTE: A heartbeat LED that remains lit and does not blink (or flash) can
indicate a hardware problem.

Ethernet communications LEDs

The meter has two LEDs for the Ethernet communications port.
The Link LED is on when there is a valid Ethernet connection. The Act (active)
LED flashes to indicate the meter is communicating through the Ethernet port.
You cannot configure these LEDs for other purposes.

Panel-mount meter mounting and wiring recommendations

There are supplemental mounting and wiring recommendations that apply to
panel-mount meters.
• The meter is intended to be mounted inside a ¼-DIN panel cutout.
• Inspect the gasket (installed around the perimeter of the display) and make
sure it is secured properly and not damaged.
• The meter retainer clips, located on either side of the meter base and used to
secure the meter in the panel, do not usually require any tools to install.

Terminal covers
The voltage and current terminal covers help prevent tampering with the meter’s
voltage and current measurement inputs.
The terminal covers enclose the terminals, the conductor fixing screws and a
length of the external conductors and their insulation. The terminal covers are
secured by tamper-resistant meter seals.
These covers are included for meter models where sealable voltage and current
covers are required to comply with revenue or regulatory standards.
The meter terminal covers must be installed by a qualified installer.
Refer to your meter's installation sheet or the instructions that came with your
terminal covers for instructions on installing the terminal covers.

EAV15107-EN05 15
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Hardware reference

Meter wiring considerations

Direct connect voltage limits
You can connect the meter’s voltage inputs directly to the phase voltage lines of
the power system if the power system’s line-to-line or line-to-neutral voltages do
not exceed the meter’s direct connect maximum voltage limits.
The meter's voltage measurement inputs are rated by the manufacturer for up to
400 V L-N / 690 V L-L. However, the maximum voltage allowed for direct
connection may be lower, depending on the local electrical codes and regulations.
In US and Canada the maximum voltage on the meter voltage measurement
inputs may not exceed 347 V L-N / 600 V L-L.
If your system voltage is greater than the specified direct connect maximum
voltage, you must use VTs (voltage transformers) to step down the voltages.

Balanced system considerations

In situations where you are monitoring a balanced 3-phase load, you may choose
to connect only one or two CTs on the phase(s) you want to measure, and then
configure the meter so it calculates the current on the unconnected current
input(s).
NOTE: For a balanced 4-wire Wye system, the meter’s calculations assume
that there is no current flowing through the neutral conductor.

EAV15107-EN05 17
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Hardware reference

Balanced 3-phase Wye system with 2 CTs

The current for the unconnected current input is calculated so that the vector sum
for all three phases equal zero.

Balanced 3-phase Wye or Delta system with 1CT

The currents for the unconnected current inputs are calculated so that their
magnitude and phase angle are identical and equally distributed, and the vector
sum for all three phase currents equal zero.
NOTE: You must always use 3 CTs for 3-phase 4-wire center-tapped Delta or
center-tapped open Delta systems.

Communications connections
RS-485 wiring
Connect the devices on the RS-485 bus in a point-to-point configuration, with the
(+) and (-) terminals from one device connected to the corresponding (+) and (-)
terminals on the next device.

RS-485 cable

Use a shielded 2 twisted pair or 1.5 twisted pair RS-485 cable to wire the devices.
Use one twisted pair to connect the (+) and (-) terminals, and use the other
insulated wire to connect the C terminals
The total distance for devices connected on an RS-485 bus should not exceed
1200 m (4000 ft).

RS-485 terminals

C Common. This provides the voltage reference (zero volts) for the data plus and data minus
signals

Shield. Connect the bare wire to this terminal to help suppress signal noise that may be
present. Ground the shield wiring at one end only (either at the master or the last slave
device, but not both.

- Data minus. This transmits/receives the inverting data signals.

+ Data plus. This transmits/receives the non-inverting data signals.

NOTE: If some devices in your RS-485 network do not have the C terminal,
use the bare wire in the RS-485 cable to connect the C terminal from the
meter to the shield terminal on the devices that do not have the C terminal.

Ethernet communications connections

Use a shielded Ethernet cable to connect the meter’s Ethernet port.
Ground terminal is not available on the meter; shield should be connected to
ground at the other end. Your Ethernet connection source should be installed in a
location that minimizes the overall Ethernet cable routing length.

EAV15107-EN05 33
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Communications

Communications
Serial communications
The meter supports serial communication through the RS-485 port.
In an RS-485 network, there is one master device, typically an Ethernet to RS-485
gateway. It provides the means for RS-485 communications with multiple slave
devices (for example, meters). For applications that require only one dedicated
computer to communicate with the slave devices, a USB to RS-485 converter can
be used to connect to the master device.
Up to 32 devices can be connected on a single RS-485 bus.

RS-485 network configuration

After you have wired the RS-485 port and powered up the meter, you must
configure the serial communications port in order to communicate with the meter.
Each device on the same RS-485 communications bus must have a unique
address and all connected devices must be set to the same protocol, baud rate,
and parity (data format).
NOTE: To communicate with the meter using ION Setup, you must set the
serial site and all connected devices in the RS-485 network to the same parity
setting.
For meters that do not have a display, you must first wire and configure each one
separately before connecting these meters to the same RS-485 bus.

RS-485 port setup

The meter is factory-configured with default serial communications settings that
you may need to modify before connecting the meter to the RS-485 bus.
The meter is factory-configured with the following default serial communications
settings:
• Protocol = Modbus RTU
• Address = 1
• Baud rate = 19200
• Parity = Even
You can use a communications converter (USB to RS-485 or RS-232 to RS-485)
or Ethernet gateway device to connect to the meter.
NOTE: Your meter’s serial communications port ID (Com1 ID) is used in both
Ethernet and serial communications; you need to change the Com1 ID meter
property in ION Setup if you modify the meter’s RS-485 address.

Setting up serial communications using the display

The Serial Port setup screen allows you to configure the meter’s RS-485
communications port so you can use software to access the meter’s data or
configure the meter remotely.

1. Navigate to Maint > Setup.

2. Enter the setup password (default is “0000”), then press OK.

unique for each device in a communications loop. For
Jbus protocol, set the device ID to 255.

Baud Rate 9600, 19200, Select the speed for data transmission. The baud rate
38400 must be the same for all devices in a communications
loop

Parity Even, Odd, Select None if the parity bit is not used. The parity
None setting must be the same for all devices in a
communications loop.

Ethernet communications
The meter uses Modbus TCP and BACnet/IP protocols to communicate at data
speeds up to 100 Mbps through its Ethernet communications port (if available).
The meter supports a maximum of 128 concurrent TCP/IP connections. A
maximum of 20 HTTP connections are supported.

Ethernet configuration
In order to use Ethernet communications, you must configure your device’s IP
address; you must also configure the subnet and gateway information if required
by your network.
NOTE: For meters that do not have a display, you must configure each one
separately in order to set a unique IP address for each device.
You need to enter network information for any Ethernet servers used by the
device.
NOTE: Contact your network system administrator for your IP address and
other Ethernet network configuration values.
Configure your device’s Ethernet settings by using the display or directly
connecting to your meter and using a web browser to access the device’s
webpages. Modify your meter’s Ethernet settings to those provided by your
network system administrator before connecting the device to your local area
network (LAN).
After the meter’s Ethernet port is configured and connected to the LAN, you can
use ION Setup to configure other meter setup parameters.

Ethernet port setup

The meter is factory-configured with default Ethernet communications settings.
You must modify the default Ethernet settings before connecting the meter to your
local area network (LAN) using the meter webpages.
The default Ethernet communications settings are:
• IP address = 169.254.0.10
• Subnet mask = 255.255.0.0
• Gateway = 0.0.0.0
• Device name = PM53-#xxxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxxxx is the meter’s factory
serial number (with leading zeros if serial number is less than 10 characters)

EAV15107-EN05 35
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Communications

• IP method = Default
NOTE: Your meter’s serial communications port ID (Com1 ID) is used in both
Ethernet and serial communications; you need to change the Com1 ID meter
property in ION Setup if you modify the meter’s RS-485 address.

Setting up Ethernet communications using the display

The Ethernet setup screen allows you to assign the meter a unique IP address so
you can use software to access the meter’s data or configure the meter remotely
through the Ethernet port.

BACnet/IP
BACnet/IP protocol allows communication between the components of a building
automation and control system (for example, HVAC, lighting control, security
systems and related equipment).
The BACnet/IP protocol defines a number of services that are used to
communicate between devices and the objects that are acted upon by those
services.

Term Definition
APDU Application protocol data unit, that data portion of a BACnet
message.

Confirmed message A message for which the device expects an answer.

COV, COV increment Change of value, sets the amount by which a value has to change in
order for the meter to send a subscription notification.

Device A BACnet device is a unit that is designed to understand and use

BACnet protocol (for example, a BACnet-enabled meter or software
program). It contains information about the device and device data in
objects and object properties. Your meter is a BACnet device.

Object Represents the device and device data. Each object has a type (for
example, analog input or binary input) and has a number of
properties.

Present value The current value of an object.

Property The smallest piece of information in BACnet communications, it

consists of a name, data type and value.

Service Messages from one BACnet device to another.

Subscription A relationship between a BACnet client and the meter, so that when
the present value property of an object changes on the meter, a
notification is sent to the client.
Subscription notification The message the meter sends to indicate a COV event has occurred.

Unconfirmed message A message for which the device does not expect an answer.

BACnet Broadcast A BACnet/IP device (or software application) residing on a BACnet/

Management Device IP subnet that forwards BACnet broadcast messages from devices
(BBMD) on its subnet to peer BBMDs and registered foreign devices on other
subnets.
Foreign device A BACnet/IP device (or software application) that resides on a
remote IP subnet and registers with a BBMD to facilitate the sending
and receiving of broadcast messages to/from devices accessible by
the BBMD.

Supported BACnet features

PM5320, PM5340 and PM5341 meters support specific BACnet components and
standard objects over Ethernet. The supported BACnet features are available in
applicable products with firmware version 2.00 and above.
The meter’s BACnet/IP protocol support is certified by BACnet International. Go to
www.bacnetinternational.org or www.schneider-electric.com and search for your
meter model to access the PICS (Protocol Implementation Conformance
Statement) for your meter.

Supported standard object types

NOTE: The BACnet protocol allows you to set the out-of-service property of
an object to true and write a value to that property for testing purposes. In this
case, your BACnet software displays the value you wrote to the object, not the
actual value from the meter and the system it is monitoring. Make sure you set
the out-of-service property of all objects to false before you put the meter into
service.

1The meter’s status inputs require an external voltage source to detect the status input’s on/off
state. The meter detects an ON state if the external voltage appearing at the status input is within its
operating range. The external voltage can be derived from either the whetting output provided by
the meter or by a voltage source up to 36 V DC external to the meter.
2The digital outputs can handle voltages less than 40 V DC. For higher voltage applications, use an
external relay in the switching circuit.

Status input applications

Status inputs are typically used for monitoring the status of external contacts or
circuit breakers.

Status input wiring considerations

The meter’s status inputs require an external voltage source to detect the status
input’s on/off state.

Digital output applications

Digital outputs are typically used in switching applications, for example, to provide
on/off control signals for switching capacitor banks, generators, and other external
devices and equipment.
The digital output can also be used in demand synchronization applications,
where the meter provides pulse signals to the input of another meter to control its
demand period. The digital output can also be used in energy pulsing applications,
where a receiving device determines energy usage by counting the kWh pulses
coming from the meter’s digital output port.
The digital output ports on the meter are internally designed using solid-state
devices with an open-collector configuration. These ports must be connected to
the specified power supply with a current limiter to function. Refer to the digital
output application example below for more information.

Digital output application example

You can connect one of your meter’s digital outputs to a relay that switches on a
generator and the other digital output to send a demand sync pulse to other
meters.
In the following example, the first meter (Meter 1) controls and sets the demand
period (900 seconds) of the other meters (Meter 2, Meter 3, Meter 4) through the
output pulse occurring at the end of the first meter’s demand interval.

Alarms
Alarms overview
An alarm is the meter’s means of notifying you when an alarm condition is
detected, such as an error or an event that falls outside of normal operating
conditions.
Alarms are typically setpoint-driven and can be programmed to monitor certain
behaviors, events or unwanted conditions in your electrical system.
You can configure your meter to generate and display high, medium and low
priority alarms when predefined events are detected in the meter’s measured
values or operating states. Your meter also logs the alarm event information.
The meter ships with some alarms already enabled from the factory. Other alarms
need to be configured before the meter can generate alarms.
Your can customize the meter alarms as required, such as changing the priority.
You can also create custom alarms using the advanced features of your meter.

Available alarms
Your meters supports a number of different alarm types.

Meter Reset Meter resets for any reason.

Meter Diagnostic Meter’s self-diagnostic feature detects a problem.

Phase Reversal Meter detects a phase rotation different than expected.

Digital alarms
Digital alarms monitor the ON or OFF state of the meter’s digital / status inputs.

Digital alarm with setpoint delay

To prevent false triggers from erratic signals, you can set up pickup and dropout
time delays for the digital alarm.

than 4 times in one second or more than 10 times in ten seconds. In this case,
you must re-enable the alarm using the display or ION Setup.

Available digital alarms

Your meter has 2 digital alarms.

Alarm label Description

Digital Alarm S1 Status input 1

Digital Alarm S2 Status input 2

Standard alarms
Standard alarms are setpoint-driven alarms which monitor certain behaviors,
events or unwanted conditions in your electrical system.
Standard alarms have a detection rate equal to the 50/60 meter cycle, which is
nominally 1 second if the meter’s frequency setting is configured to match the
system frequency (50 or 60 Hz).
Many of the standard alarms are three-phase alarms. Alarm setpoints are
evaluated for each of the three phases individually, but the alarm is reported as a
single alarm. The alarm pickup occurs when the first phase exceeds the alarm
pickup magnitude for the pickup time delay. The alarm is active as long as any
phase remains in an alarm state. The alarm dropout occurs when the last phase
drops below the dropout magnitude for the dropout time delay.

Example of over and under setpoint (standard) alarm operation

The meter supports over and under setpoint conditions on standard alarms.
A setpoint condition occurs when the magnitude of the signal being monitored
crosses the limit specified by the pickup setpoint setting and stays within that limit
for a minimum time period specified by the pickup time delay setting.
The setpoint condition ends when the magnitude of the signal being monitored
crosses the limit specified by dropout setpoint setting and stays within that limit for
a minimum time period specified by dropout time delay setting.

Over setpoint

When the value rises above the pickup setpoint setting and remains there long
enough to satisfy the pickup time delay period (ΔT1), the alarm condition is set to
ON. When the value falls below the dropout setpoint setting and remains there

EAV15107-EN05 63
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Alarms

long enough to satisfy the dropout time delay period (ΔT2), the alarm condition is
set to OFF.

Maximum allowable setpoint

The meter is programmed to help prevent user data entry errors, with set limits for
the standard alarms.
The maximum setpoint value you can enter for some of the standard alarms
depends on the voltage transformer ratio (VT ratio), current transformer ratio (CT
ratio), system type (i.e., number of phases) and/or the maximum voltage and
maximum current limits programmed at the factory.
NOTE: VT ratio is the VT primary divided by the VT secondary and CT ratio is
the CT primary divided by the CT secondary.

Power factor (PF) alarms

You can set up a Leading PF or Lagging PF alarm to monitor when the circuit’s
power factor goes above or below the threshold you specify.
The Leading PF and Lagging PF alarms use the power factor quadrants as the
values on the y-axis, with quadrant II on the lowest end of the scale, followed by
quadrant III, quadrant I, and finally quadrant IV on the highest end of the scale.

phase system and triggers the alarm when one or two phases fall below the
pickup setpoint setting and remain there long enough to satisfy the pickup time
delay period.
When all of the phases rise above the dropout setpoint setting and remain there
long enough to satisfy the dropout time delay period, the alarm condition is set to
OFF.

Alarm setup overview

You can use the meter display or ION Setup to configure unary, digital or standard
(1-Sec) alarms.
If you make changes to the basic power meter setup, all alarms are disabled to
prevent undesired alarm operation. If you configure standard alarm setpoints
using the display, any decimals previously configured using ION Setup are lost.

NOTICE
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
• Verify all alarm settings are correct and make adjustments as necessary.
• Re-enable all configured alarms.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in incorrect alarm functions.

Built-in error-checking
ION Setup dynamically checks incorrect setup combinations. When you enable an
alarm, you must set up the pickup and dropout limits to acceptable values first in
order to exit the setup screen.

Setting up alarms using the display

You can use the display to create and set up standard (1-Sec), unary and digital
alarms.

Measurements
Real-time readings
The power and energy meter measures current and voltages and reports in real
time the RMS (Root Mean Squared) values for all three phases and neutral.
The voltage and current inputs are continuously monitored at a sampling rate of
64 points per cycle. This amount of resolution helps enable the meter to provide
reliable measurements and calculated electrical values for various commercial,
buildings and industrial applications.

Energy
The meter calculates and stores accumulated energy values for real, reactive, and
apparent energy.
You can view accumulated energy from the display. The energy value units
automatically change, based on the quantity of energy accumulated (e.g., from
kWh to MWh, from MWh to GWh, then from GWh to TWh, from TWh to PWh).

Min/max values
When the readings reach their lowest or highest value, the meter updates and
saves these min/max (minimum and maximum) quantities in non-volatile memory.
The meter’s real-time readings are updated once every 50 cycles for 50 Hz
systems, or once every 60 cycles for 60 Hz systems.

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

Current demand
The meter calculates current demand using the block interval, synchronized or
thermal demand methods.
You can set the demand interval from 1 to 60 minutes in 1 minute increments (for
example, 15 minutes).

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 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).

EAV15107-EN05 75
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Measurements

To be compatible with electric utility billing practices, the meter provides the
following types of power demand calculations:
• Block interval demand
• Synchronized demand
• Thermal demand
You can configure the power demand calculation method from the display or
software.

Block interval demand

For block interval demand method types, you specify a period of time interval (or
block) that the meter uses for the demand calculation.
Select/configure how the meter handles that interval from one of these different
methods:

Type Description

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
meter displays the demand value for the last completed interval.

Timed Block Select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). The
meter calculates and updates the demand at the end of each
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 meter displays the demand value for the last
completed interval.

Block interval demand example

The following illustration shows the different ways power demand is calculated
using the block interval method. In this example, the interval is set to 15 minutes.

Synchronized demand

You can configure the demand calculations to be synchronized using an external

pulse input, a command sent over communications, or the device’s internal real-
time clock.

Type Description

Input synchronized This method allows you to synchronize the demand interval of your meter
demand with an external digital pulse source (such as another meter’s digital
output) connected to your meter's digital input. This helps synchronize
your meter to the same time interval as the other meter for each demand
calculation.
Command This method allows you to synchronize the demand intervals of multiple
synchronized demand meters on a communications network. For example, if a programmable
logic controller (PLC) input is monitoring a pulse at the end of a demand
interval on a utility revenue meter, you can program the PLC to issue a
command to multiple meters whenever the utility meter starts a new
demand interval. Each time the command is issued, the demand readings
of each meter are calculated for the same interval.
Clock synchronized This method allows you to synchronize the demand interval to the meter’s
demand internal real-time clock. This helps you synchronize the demand to a
particular time, typically on the hour (for example, at 12:00 am). If you
select another time of day when the demand intervals are to be
synchronized, the time must be specified in minutes from midnight. For
example, to synchronize at 8:00 am, select 480 minutes.

NOTE: For these demand types, you can choose block or rolling block
options. If you select a rolling block demand option, you need to specify a
subinterval.

Thermal demand

Thermal demand calculates the demand based on a thermal response, which

imitates the function of thermal demand meters.
The demand calculation updates at the end of each interval. You can set the
demand interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments).

Thermal demand example

The following illustration shows the thermal demand calculation. In this example,
the interval is set to 15 minutes. The interval is a window of time that moves
across the timeline. The calculation updates at the end of each interval.

The meter records the peak (or maximum) values for kWD, kVARD, and kVAD
power (or peak demand).
The peak for each value is the highest average reading since the meter was last
reset. These values are maintained in the meter’s non-volatile memory.
The meter also stores the date and time when the peak demand occurred. In
addition to the peak demand, the meter also stores the coinciding average 3-
phase power factor. The average 3-phase power factor is defined as “demand kW/
demand kVA” for the peak demand interval.

Predicted demand
The meter calculates predicted demand for the end of the present interval for kW,
kVAR, and kVA demand, taking into account the energy consumption so far within
the present (partial) interval and the present rate of consumption.
Predicated demand is updated according to the update rate of your meter.
The following illustration shows how a change in load can affect predicted demand
for the interval. In this example, the interval is set to 15 minutes.

1:00 1:06 1:15

A Beginning of interval E Change in load

B Demand for last completed interval F Predicted demand if load is added

Power factor (PF)

Power factor (PF) is the ratio of real power (P) to apparent power (S).
PF is provided as a number between -1 and 1 or as a percentage from -100% to
100%, where the sign is determined by the convention.
P
PF = —
S

A purely resistive load has no reactive components, so its power factor is 1 (PF =
1, or unity power factor). Inductive or capacitive loads introduce a reactive power
(Q) component to the circuit which causes the PF to become closer to zero.

EAV15107-EN05 79
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Measurements

True PF and displacement PF

The meter supports true power factor and displacement power factor values:
• True power factor includes harmonic content.
• Displacement power factor only considers the fundamental frequency.
NOTE: Unless specified, the power factor displayed by the meter is true power
factor.

Real, reactive and apparent power (PQS)

A typical AC electrical system load has both resistive and reactive (inductive or
capacitive) components.
Real power, also known as active power (P) is consumed by resistive loads.
Reactive power (Q) is either consumed by inductive loads or generated by
capacitive loads.
Apparent power (S) is the capacity of your measured power system to provide real
and reactive power.
The units for power are watts (W or kW) for real power P, vars (VAR or kVAR) for
reactive power Q, and volt-amps (VA or kVA) for apparent power S.

Power flow

Positive real power P(+) flows from the power source to the load. Negative real
power P(-) flows from the load to the power source.

Power factor sign convention

Power factor sign (PF sign) can be positive or negative, and is defined by the
conventions used by the IEEE or IEC standards.
You can set the power factor sign (PF sign) convention that is used on the display
to either IEC or IEEE.

PF sign convention: IEC

PF sign correlates with the direction of real power (kW) flow.

80 EAV15107-EN05
Measurements PowerLogic™ PM5300 series

• Quadrant 1 and 4: Positive real power (+kW), the PF sign is positive (+).
• Quadrant 2 and 3: Negative real power (-kW), the PF sign is negative (-).

PF sign convention: IEEE

PF sign is correlates with the PF lead/lag convention, in other words, the effective
load type (inductive or capacitive):
• For a capacitive load (PF leading, quadrant 2 and 4), the PF sign is positive
(+).
• For an inductive load (PF lagging, quadrant 1 and 3), the PF sign is negative
(-).

Power factor register format

The meter provides power factor values in a variety of formats to suit your energy
management software.

Power factor in IEC and lead/lag (IEEE) formats: Float32 and Int16U registers

The meter provides total power factor in IEC and lead/lag (IEEE) formats in both
Float32 and Int16U data types. You can use these registers to bring power factor
information into third-party software. These registers are interpreted using the
standard IEC and IEEE sign conventions.
NOTE: For information on how to calculate actual power factor values from
the values in Int16U registers, see your meter’s Modbus register list, available
from www.schneider-electric.com.

Four quadrant power factor information: floating point registers

The meter also provides PF information (including sign and quadrant) in single
floating point registers for each of the PF values (for example, per-phase and total
values for true and displacement PF, and associated minimums and maximums).
The meter performs a simple algorithm to the PF value then stores it in the
appropriate PF register.
The meter and software (such as Power Monitoring Expert or ION Setup) interpret
these PF registers for reporting or data entry fields according to the following
diagram:

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Resets

Resets
Meter resets
Resets allow you to clear various accumulated parameters stored on your meter
or reinitialize the meter or meter accessories.
Meter resets clear your meter’s onboard data logs and other related information.
Resets are typically performed after you make changes to the meter’s basic setup
parameters (such as frequency, VT/PT or CT settings) to clear invalid or obsolete
data in preparation for putting the meter into active service.

Meter Initialization
Meter Initialization is a special command that clears the meter’s logged data,
counters and timers.
It is common practice to initialize the meter after its configuration is completed,
before adding it to an energy management system.
After configuring all the meter setup parameters, navigate through the different
meter display screens and make sure the displayed data is valid then perform
meter initialization.

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Multi-tariffs

Multi-tariffs
Multi-tariff
The multi-tariff feature allows you to set up different tariffs for storing energy
values.
The energy values for different tariffs are stored in registers that correspond to
each of those tariffs.

Multi-tariff example
The multi-tariff feature can be used when a utility has set up tariff schedules with
different rates based on what day or time of day energy is consumed.

Power

Time

Cost

Tariff energy containers

T1 T2 T3 T4

T1 T2 T3 T4

In the above illustration, the area under the power curve equals the energy
consumed.
Typically, the utility sets tariff schedules so the cost of energy is higher during high
demand or high energy consumption times. How these “tariff energy containers”
are configured determines how fast these containers fill, which correlates to
increasing energy costs. The price per kWh is lowest at tariff T1 and highest at
tariff T2.

Multi-tariff implementation
The meter supports configuration of up to 4 different tariffs to measure and
monitor energy usage that can be used in billing or cost applications.
There are three different tariff modes you can use to activate the multi-tariff
registers:
• Command mode
• Time of Day mode
• Input mode

Active tariff control mode

The active tariff is controlled based on the tariff mode.
• When the meter is set to command mode, the active tariff is controlled by the
Modbus commands from your energy management system or other Modbus
master.

86 EAV15107-EN05
Multi-tariffs PowerLogic™ PM5300 series

• When the meter is set to input mode, the active tariff is controlled by the
status of the digital inputs.
• When the meter is set to time of day mode, the active tariff is controlled by the
day type, the start and end times, and the start and end dates.

Command mode overview

You can use command mode to send a Modbus command to the device which
sets the active tariff.
The active tariff is applied to the measured energy until you send another Modbus
command that sets a different tariff.
Search for your meter’s Modbus register list at www.schneider-electric.com to
download the Modbus map.

Time of day mode overview

You can use time of day mode to create a tariff schedule that specifies where the
meter stores energy or input metered data, based on the time of year (month,
day), the type of day (every day, weekend, weekday or a specific day of the week),
or time of day.
The data collected from the different tariffs can then be used in energy audits or
similar costing and budget planning purposes.

Time of day mode tariff validity

A valid time of day tariff has certain conditions and limitations:
• Each tariff must cover a unique time period (tariffs cannot overlap), but there
can be periods with no tariff.
• Any number of tariffs, from none to the maximum number of tariffs, can be
applied.
• Time of day tariffs do not adjust for daylight savings time.
• Time of day tariffs include February 29th in leap years (however, it is not
recommended to have February 29th as a start or end date, as that tariff
would be invalid for non-leap years.
• Except for leap years, tariff dates are not year-specific; if you wanted to
create a tariff that starts on the first Monday in August, you need to enter the
date for that year, then manually update the tariff information for the
subsequent years.
Your device performs validation checks as you enter tariff information; it prompts
you to change the information that you have entered or set the tariff to disabled if
the tariff configuration is invalid. These checks can include:
• Start and end times must be different (for example, you cannot create a tariff
that starts at 02:00 and also ends at 02:00).
• Start time can only be earlier than end time for tariffs that are applied every
day. You can create a daily tariff that starts at 06:00 and ends at 02:00, but
these times are only valid for the Everyday tariff and invalid for the other tariff
types.
• Start day must be earlier than end day if the days are in the same month. You
cannot create a tariff that starts June 15 and ends June 12.

Time of day tariff creation methods

You can create time of day tariffs using one of the two methods, or a combination
of these methods:

EAV15107-EN05 87
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Multi-tariffs

• Time of year tariffs divide the year into multiple sections (usually seasons),
where each section has one or more day types. For example, a four tariff
configuration using this method could have Summer and Winter seasons that
also use different weekend and weekday tariffs.
• Daily tariffs can divide days by day of the week, a weekday, a weekend, or
every day, and can specify the time of day. For example, a four tariff
configuration could have every day in the year divided into six-hour tariff
periods or could have two tariffs for weekends and two tariffs for weekdays.
You can combine these methods if, for example you wanted to create a tariff that
applies on Mondays from January 1 to June 30, from 09:00 to 17:00. However,
since only one tariff can be applied at any time, you cannot use an everyday or
weekday tariff type because you already specified a tariff for the time periods
09:00 to 17:00.
Depending on how you configure the tariffs and the maximum number of tariffs
supported by your meter, you may not be able to assign tariffs for the entire year,
potentially leaving time gaps that do not have any tariff assigned to them.

Example tariff configurations for a four-tariff system

In these examples, four tariffs are used to cover the entire year (there are no time
periods that do not have an associated tariff).
Configuration 1: four tariffs with weekdays and weekends

Tariff Type Start date End date Start time End time

1 Weekend June 21 December 20 00:00 23:59

2 Weekend December 21 June 20 00:00 23:59
3 Weekday June 21 December 20 00:00 23:59

4 Weekday December 21 June 20 00:00 23:59

NOTE: The end time of 23:59 is actually 23:59:59, or just before midnight.
All weekend days fall into one of two different tariffs, depending on the date. All
weekdays fall into one of two different tariffs, depending on the date. This
configuration does not use tariffs based on the time of day, or any day types other
than weekend or weekday.
Example dates and corresponding tariffs:
• Friday, June 29 = tariff 3
• Sunday, November 28th = tariff 1
Configuration 2: one season for weekends, with off-peak and shoulder hours, two
seasons for weekdays, with shoulder hours

Tariff Type Start date End date Start time End time

1 Every day January 1 December 31 23:00 04:59

2 Weekdays May 1 September 20 00:00 22:59

3 Weekdays October 1 April 30 05:00 22:59

4 Weekends January 1 December 31 05:00 22:59

All days have a tariff applied between 23:00 and 04:59, corresponding to off-peak
hours. All weekend days have a tariff applied from 05:00 to 22:59, corresponding
to shoulder hours. All weekdays fall into one of two seasons (summer or winter),
and have two tariffs applied throughout the day.
Example dates and corresponding tariffs:
• Wednesday, March 21, 08:00 = tariff 3
• Tuesday, January 10, 21:00 = tariff 3
• Sunday, June 24, 14:00 = tariff 4
• Friday, August 17, 00:00 = tariff 1

88 EAV15107-EN05
Multi-tariffs PowerLogic™ PM5300 series

Configuring time of day mode tariffs using the display

When the meter is set to time of day for tariffs, the active tariff is determined by the
day type, the start and end times, and the start and end dates.
The time of day tariff is not a calendar; the meter does not calculate the
corresponding day of the week to a specific date, but February 29th is considered
a valid date if you are programming the meter during a leap year.
When you enter tariff times using the front panel, be aware that the displayed
minute value includes the entire minute. For example, an end time of 01:15
includes the time from 01:15:00 through 01:15:59. To create a tariff period that
starts right after this, you must set the next tariff start time to 01:16. Although it
may appear that there is a gap between these tariffs, there is not.

Repeat for the other tariffs as required.
The meter checks the configuration and display a message if any tariffs have
conflicting settings (overlapping tariff periods for example).

Input mode overview

You can use input mode to have the digital inputs of the device set to know which
tariff is applied to the energy that is presently being consumed.
The number of different tariffs that can be applied is determined by the number of
available digital inputs and the total number of tariffs supported by your device.

Digital input assignment for input control mode

You need to assign one or more digital inputs with non-exclusive associations to
define the active tariff.
If a digital input is used for multi-tariff, it cannot be used for an exclusive
association (such as Demand Sync), but digital inputs can be shared with a non-
exclusive association (such as Alarms). To make a digital input available for
setting tariffs, any conflicting associations must be manually removed at the
source of the original association.
The digital inputs are used as binary counters to identify the appropriate tariff,
where off = 0 and on = 1, and most significant bit (MSB) is digital input 2 and least
significant bit (LSB) is digital input 1. By this definition, digital input 1 must be
associated with the multi-tariff feature in order to set the tariff to Input mode.

PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Power quality

Power quality
Power quality measurements
The meter provides harmonic distortion metering up to the 31st harmonic.
The following power quality measurements are available:
• Individual harmonics (odd harmonics up to 31st)
• Total harmonic distortion (THD, thd) for current and voltage (line-to-line, line-
to-neutral)
• Total demand distortion (TDD)
The following harmonics data is available on the display:
• Numeric magnitude and angle of the fundamental (first) harmonic.
• Graphical display of the 3rd to 31st harmonics, expressed as a percentage of
the fundamental harmonic.

Harmonics overview
Harmonics are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency of the power
system.
Harmonics information is valuable for power quality analysis, determining properly
rated transformers, maintenance and troubleshooting. Evaluation of harmonics is
required for compliance to system power quality standards such as EN50160 and
meter power quality standards such as IEC 61000-4-30.
Harmonics measurements include per-phase magnitudes and angles (relative to
the fundamental frequency of the phase A voltage) for the fundamental and higher
order harmonics relative to the fundamental frequency. The meter’s power system
setting defines which phases are present and determines how line-to-line or line-
to-neutral voltage harmonics and current harmonics are calculated.
Harmonics are used to identify whether the supplied system power meets required
power quality standards, or if non-linear loads are affecting your power system.
Power system harmonics can cause current flow on the neutral conductor, and
damage to equipment such as increased heating in electric motors. Power
conditioners or harmonic filters can be used to minimize unwanted harmonics.

Total harmonic distortion

Total harmonic distortion (THD) is a measure of the total per-phase voltage or
current harmonic distortion present in the power system.
THD provides a general indication of the quality of a waveform. THD% is
calculated for each phase of both voltage and current.

Total demand distortion

Total demand distortion (TDD) is the per-phase harmonic current distortion against
the full load demand of the electrical system.
TDD indicates the impact of harmonic distortion in the system. For example, if
your system is showing high THD values but a low demand, the impact of
harmonic distortion on your system might be insignificant. However at full load, the
THD value for the current harmonics is equal to TDD, so this could negatively
impact your system.

Harmonic content calculations

Harmonic content (HC) is equal to the RMS value of all the non-fundamental
harmonic components in one phase of the power system.
The meter uses the following equation to calculate HC:

HC = (H2)2 + (H3)2 + (H4)2 ...

THD% calculations
THD% is a quick measure of the total distortion present in a waveform and is the
ratio of harmonic content (HC) to the fundamental harmonic (H1).
By default, the meter uses the following equation to calculate THD%:
HC
THD = -------
- x 100%
H1

thd calculations
thd is an alternate method for calculating total harmonic distortion that uses the
RMS value for the total harmonic content rather than the fundamental content.
The meter uses the following equation to calculate thd:
HC
thd = x 100
(H1)2 + (HC)2

TDD calculations
TDD (total demand distortion) evaluates the harmonic currents between an end
user and a power source.
The harmonic values are based on a point of common coupling (PCC), which is a
common point where each user receives power from the power source.
The meter uses the following equation to calculate TDD:

TDD = ( (HCIA)2 + (HCIB)2 + (HCIC)2) / (ILoad) x 100

Where ILoad is equal to the maximum demand load on the power system.

Verifying accuracy PowerLogic™ PM5300 series

Verifying accuracy
Overview of meter accuracy
All meters are tested and verified at the factory in accordance with International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) standards.
Your digital power meter typically does not require re-calibration. However, in
some installations a final accuracy verification of the meters is required, especially
if the meters will be used for revenue or billing applications.

Accuracy test requirements

The most common method for testing meter accuracy is to apply test voltages and
currents from a stable power source and compare the meter’s readings with
readings from a reference device or energy standard.

Signal and power source

The meter maintains its accuracy during voltage and current signal source
variations but its energy pulsing output needs a stable test signal to help produce
accurate test pulses. The meter’s energy pulsing mechanism needs
approximately 10 seconds to stabilize after every source adjustment.
The meter must be connected to control power in order to conduct accuracy
verification testing. Refer to your meter’s installation documentation for power
supply specifications.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Verify the device’s power source meets the specifications for your device’s
power supply.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Control equipment
Control equipment is required for counting and timing the pulse outputs from an
energy pulsing LED or digital output.
• Most standard test benches have an arm equipped with optical sensors to
detect LED pulses (the photodiode circuitry converts detected light into a
voltage signal).
• The reference device or energy standard typically has digital inputs that can
detect and count pulses coming from an external source (i.e., the meter’s
digital output).
NOTE: The optical sensors on the test bench can be disrupted by strong
sources of ambient light (such as camera flashes, florescent tubes, sunlight
reflections, floodlights, etc.). This can cause test errors. Use a hood, if
necessary, to block out ambient light.

Environment
The meter should be tested at the same temperature as the testing equipment.
The ideal temperature is about 23 ºC (73 ºF). Make sure the meter is warmed up
sufficiently before testing.

EAV15107-EN05 101
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Verifying accuracy

A warm-up time of 30 minutes is recommended before beginning energy accuracy

verification testing. At the factory, the meters are warmed up to their typical
operating temperature before calibration to help ensure that the meters will reach
their optimal accuracy at operating temperature.
Most high precision electronic equipment requires a warm up time before it
reaches its specified performance levels. Energy meter standards allow the
manufacturers to specify meter accuracy derating due to ambient temperature
changes and self-heating.
Your meter complies with and meets the requirements of these energy metering
standards.
For a list of accuracy standards that your meter complies to, contact your local
Schneider Electric representative or download the meter brochure from
www.schneider-electric.com.

Reference device or energy standard

To help ensure the accuracy of the test, it is recommended that you use a
reference device or reference energy standard with a specified accuracy that is 6
to 10 times more accurate than the meter under test. Before you start testing, the
reference device or energy standard should be warmed up as recommended by
its manufacturer.
NOTE: Verify the accuracy and precision of all measurement equipment used
in accuracy testing (for example, voltmeters, ammeters, power factor meters).

Energy pulsing
You can configure the meter’s alarm /energy LED or one of the digital outputs for
energy pulsing.
• The meter is equipped with an alarm / energy pulsing LED. When configured
for energy pulsing, the LED emits pulses that are then used to determine the
accuracy of the meter’s energy measurements.
• The meter is equipped with digital outputs. When you configure a digital
output for energy pulsing, the meter sends voltage pulses to the digital output
port, which are then used to determine the accuracy of the meter’s energy
measurements.

Meter settings for accuracy testing

Your meter‘s power system and other parameters must be configured for accuracy

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

1. Turn off all power supplying this device and the equipment in which it is
installed before working on the device or equipment.
2. Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
3. Connect the test voltage and current source to the reference device or energy
standard. Ensure all voltage inputs to the meter under test are connected in
parallel and all current inputs are connected in series.

B Test voltage and current source

C Meter under test

4. Connect the control equipment used for counting the standard output pulses
using one of these methods:

Option Description

Energy pulsing LED Align the red light sensor on the standard test bench armature over
the energy pulsing LED.

Digital output Connect the meter’s digital output to the standard test bench pulse
counting connections.

NOTE: When selecting which method to use, be aware that energy

pulsing LEDs and digital outputs have different pulse rate limits.
5. Before performing the verification test, let the test equipment power up the
meter and apply voltage for at least 30 seconds. This helps stabilize the
internal circuitry of the meter.
6. Configure the meter’s parameters for verifying accuracy testing.

EAV15107-EN05 103
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Verifying accuracy

7. Depending on the method selected for counting the energy pulses, configure
the meter’s energy pulsing LED or one of the digital outputs to perform energy
pulsing. Set the meter’s energy pulse constant so it is in sync with the
reference test equipment.
8. Perform accuracy verification on the test points. Run each test point for at
least 30 seconds to allow the test bench equipment to read an adequate
number of pulses. Allow 10 seconds of dwell time between test points.

Required pulses calculation for accuracy verification testing

Accuracy verification test equipment typically requires you to specify the number
of pulses for a specific test duration.
The reference test equipment typically requires you to specify the number of
pulses required for a test duration of “t” seconds. Normally, the number of pulses
required is at least 25 pulses, and the test duration is greater than 30 seconds.
Use the following formula to calculate the required number of pulses:
Number of pulses = Ptot x K x t/3600
Where:
• Ptot = total instantaneous power in kilowatts (kW)
• K = the meter’s pulse constant setting, in pulses per kWh
• t = test duration, in seconds (typically greater than 30 seconds)

Total power calculation for accuracy verification testing

Accuracy verification testing supplies the same test signal (total power) to both the
energy reference/standard and the meter under test.
Total power is calculated as follows, where:
• Ptot = total instantaneous power in kilowatts (kW)
• VLN = test point line-to-neutral voltage in volts (V)
• I = test point current in amps (A)
• PF = power factor
The result of the calculation is rounded up to the nearest integer.
For a balanced 3–phase Wye system:
Ptot = 3 x VLN x I x PF x 1 kW/1000 W
NOTE: A balanced 3–phase system assumes that the voltage, current and
power factor values are the same for all phases.
For a single-phase system:
Ptot = VLN x I x PF x 1 kW/1000W

Percentage error calculation for accuracy verification testing

Accuracy verification testing requires you to calculate the percentage error
between the meter being tested and the reference/standard.
Calculate the percentage error for every test point using the following formula:
Energy error = (EM - ES) / ES x 100%
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.

104 EAV15107-EN05
Verifying accuracy PowerLogic™ PM5300 series

Accuracy verification 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.

Watt-hour test point Sample accuracy verification test point

Full load 100% to 200% of the nominal current, 100% of the nominal voltage and
nominal frequency at unity power factor or one (1).

Light load 10% of the nominal current, 100% of the nominal voltage and nominal
frequency at unity power factor or one (1).

Inductive load (lagging 100% of the nominal current, 100% of the nominal voltage and nominal
power factor) frequency at 0.50 lagging power factor (current lagging voltage by 60°
phase angle).

VAR-hour test point Sample accuracy verification test point

Full load 100% to 200% of the nominal current, 100% of the nominal voltage and
nominal frequency at zero power factor (current lagging voltage by 90°

Light load 10% of the nominal current, 100% of the nominal voltage and nominal
frequency at zero power factor (current lagging voltage by 90° phase
angle).

Inductive load (lagging 100% of the nominal current, 100% of the nominal voltage and nominal
power factor) frequency at 0.87 lagging power factor (current lagging voltage by 30°
phase angle).

Energy pulsing considerations

The meter’s alarm / energy LED and digital outputs are capable of energy pulsing
within specific limits.

Description Alarm / energy LED Digital output

Maximum pulse frequency 2.5 kHz 25 Hz

Minimum pulse constant 1 pulse per k_h

Maximum pulse constant 9,999,999 pulses per k_h

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.
If Ptot is the instantaneous power (in kW) and K is the pulse constant (in pulses
per k_h), then the pulse period is:
3600 1
Pulse period (in seconds) = =
K x Ptot Pulse frequency (Hz)

VT and CT considerations
Total power (Ptot) is derived from the values of the voltage and current inputs at
the secondary side, and takes into account the VT and CT ratios.
The test points are always taken at the secondary side, regardless of whether VTs
or CTs are used.
If VTs and CTs are used, you must include their primary and secondary ratings in
the equation. For example, in a balanced 3-phase Wye system with VTs and CTs:

EAV15107-EN05 105
PowerLogic™ PM5300 series Verifying accuracy

VTp CTp 1 kW
Ptot = 3 x VLN x xIx x PF x
VTs CTs 1000 W
where Ptot = total power, VTp = VT primary, VTs = VT secondary, CTp = CT
primary, CTs = CT secondary and PF = power factor.

Total power limits

There are limits to the total power that the alarm / energy pulsing LED and the
digital output can handle.

Total power limit for alarm / energy LED

Given the maximum pulse constant (Kmax) you can enter is 9,999,999 pulses per
kWh, and the maximum pulse frequency for the alarm / energy LED is 83 Hz, the
maximum total power (Max Ptot) the alarm / energy LED’s energy pulsing circuitry
can handle is 29.88 Watts:
• Maximum Ptot = 3600 x (Maximum pulse frequency) / Kmax = 3600 x 83 /
9,999,999 = 0.02988 kW

Total power limit for digital output

Given the maximum pulse constant (Kmax) you can enter is 9,999,999 pulses per
kWh, and the maximum pulse frequency for the digital output is 25 Hz, the
maximum total power (Max Ptot) the digital input’s energy pulsing circuitry can
handle is 9 Watts:
• Maximum Ptot = 3600 x (Maximum pulse frequency) / Kmax = 3600 x 25 /
9,999,999 = 0.009 kW

Typical sources of test errors

If you see excessive errors during accuracy testing, examine your test setup and
test procedures to eliminate typical sources of measurement errors.
Typical sources of accuracy verification testing errors include:
• Loose connections of voltage or current circuits, often caused by worn-out
contacts or terminals. Inspect terminals of test equipment, cables, test
harness and the meter under test.
• Meter ambient temperature is significantly different than 23 °C (73 °F).
• Floating (ungrounded) neutral voltage terminal in any configuration with
unbalanced phase voltages.
• Inadequate meter control power, resulting in the meter resetting during the
test procedure.
• Ambient light interference or sensitivity issues with the optical sensor.
• Unstable power source causing energy pulsing fluctuations.
• Incorrect test setup: not all phases connected to the reference device or the
energy standard. All phases connected to the meter under test should also be
connected to the reference meter/standard.
• Moisture (condensing humidity), debris or pollution present in the meter under
test.
