4.1.2.2.2 Voltage and Current Gain Calibration

To calibrate the voltage and current readings, perform the following steps:

  1. Connect the GUI to view results for voltage, current, active power, and the other metering parameters.
  2. Configure the test source to supply the desired voltage and current for all phases. Make sure that these are the voltage and current calibration points with a zero-degree phase shift between each phase voltage and current. For example, for 120V, 10A, 0° (PF = 1). Typically, these values are the same for every phase.
  3. Click on the Manual cal. button as illustrated in Figure 4-4.

    The screen in Figure 4-5 pops up:

  4. Calculate the correction values for each voltage and current. The correction values that must be entered for the voltage and current fields are calculated using Equation 15.
    Equation 15. Correction %= valueobservedvaluedesired-1 ×100

    where

    • valueobserved is the value measured by the TI meter
    • valuedesired is the calibration point configured in the AC test source
