EM.PhaseToPhaseCalib

Properties:

PropertyTypeDescription

id

number

Id of the EM component instance

from

string

Select the phase from witch the calibration data is taken

to

string

Select the phase to witch the calibration is due

Response:

restart_required:true on success; error if request can't be executed or failed

info

In order to be able to calibrate correctly the phase voltages need to be equal i.e. if we calibrate a CT from phase c to a CT on phase a, the voltage of phase c and phase a needs to be the same (phases are connected on the same voltage line). The minimum power allowed for the calibration to take place is 500W. The method takes around 5 seconds to complete, and the response is delayed with the request answer - restart_required: true in case of success or error message in case of fail. The reasons for the calibration to fail may be - deviation in measurement after calibration on the from and to phases that indicating incorrect input phases setup, incorrect CTs or other problem.

EM.PhaseToPhaseCalibReset

Configuration

The configuration of the Energy Meter component shows the energy metering device's name, blink mode selector, phase selector and phase sequence detection enabled. To Get/Set the configuration of the EM component its id must be specified. Name setting does not require restart however, setting blink_mode_selector and/or phase_selector requires restart.

Status

The status of the Energy Meter Component contains information from the current measurements, for all active phase(es) of the device. To obtain information for the components status its id must be specified. The information for a phase contains information for:

  • The momentary values of the current in A (Amps), voltage in V (Volts), active_power in W (Watts), apparent_power in VA (Volt-Ampere), pf - power factor is dimensionless.

  • neutral is the reporting for the neutral current measurements.
