PD CLC/TR 50579:2012CLC/TR 50579:2012 - 4 - Introduction This Technical Report specifies immunity levels and standard testing procedure for the immunity against symmetric currents in the frequency range from 2 kHz to 150 kHz as an extension of the harmonised standards EN 50470-1 and EN
14、 50470-3 until the basic standards IEC 61000-x-x are in force. This Technical Report was requested by various approval bodies and utilities as a temporary solution, since accuracy problems with electricity meters were observed in presence of disturbing currents in the frequency range from 2 kHz to 1
15、50 kHz. Up to date no standards are available for this frequency range. The testing against symmetrical currents is not yet a part of the actual basic standards or product standards in EMC. However for some electricity meters an influence of symmetric currents has been shown in various investigation
16、s. The source of these currents in a frequency range from 2 kHz to 150 kHz can be a photovoltaic inverter or other switched mode power supplies. PD CLC/TR 50579:2012- 5 - CLC/TR 50579:2012 1 Scope This European Technical Report applies to newly manufactured static watt-hour meters intended for resid
17、ential, commercial and light industrial use, of class indexes A, B and C, for the measurement of alternating current electrical active energy in 50 Hz networks. It specifies particular requirements and immunity test for direct connected and transformer connected electricity meters as an extension fo
18、r EN 50470-1 and EN 50470-3. The tests are designed to achieve immunity against disturbing currents of up to 2 A (2 kHz-30 kHz) and up to 1 A (30 KHz-150 kHz) for direct connected meters and 2 % Imax (2 kHz-30 kHz) and 1 % Imax (30 KHz-150 kHz) for transformer connected meters. It applies to static
19、watt-hour meters for indoor and outdoor application, consisting of a measuring element and register(s) enclosed together in a meter case. If the meter has (a) measuring element(s) for more than one type of energy (multi-energy meters), or when other functional elements, like maximum demand indicator
20、s, electronic tariff registers, time switches, ripple control receivers, data communication interfaces etc. are enclosed in the meter case (multi-function meters) then this Technical Report applies only for the active energy metering part. This Technical Report distinguishes between: meters of class
21、 indexes A, B and C; direct connected and transformer operated meters; It does not apply to: watt-hour meters where the voltage across the connection terminals exceeds 600 V (line-to-line voltage for meters for polyphase systems); portable meters; reference meters. 2 Normative references The followi
22、ng documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

26、 the current path of an electricity meter or other instrumentation for the measurement of energy 4 General The test is done with two currents flowing through the electricity meter. One current is the 50 Hz load current I50Hzsecond is the disturbing current IDist in the frequency range from 2 kHz to
27、150 kHz flowing only through the current path of the electricity meter. Both currents I50Hzand IDist are generated independently from each other. Figure 1 Simplified diagram of the currents flowing through the current path of the electricity meter The method to generate the current flowing through t
28、he current path of the electricity meter is not given as specification or requirement in detail by this Technical Report. The important parameter is the level of the disturbing current flowing through the current path of the electricity meter. The method to generate both the disturbing current and t
29、he 50 Hz load current is not of interest for the result of the test. PD CLC/TR 50579:2012- 7 - CLC/TR 50579:2012 5 Test equipment 5.1 Test generator for the disturbing current 5.1.1 General The test generator includes all equipment necessary to generate the disturbing signal. The disturbing signal i
30、s the current through the current path of the EUT. The test generator shall meet the following minimum specifications: Table 1 Specifications of the test generator Parameter SpecificationFrequency range of the disturbing signal: 2 kHz 150 kHz Generated wave shape: Sine wave, unmodulated Maximum THD
31、of the generated disturbing signal at maximum level: 0,9 condition is met. NOTE 2 It should be ensured that the 50 Hz current flowing through the disturbing current generator does not disturb the disturbing current generator. 6 Test sequence a) Start frequency is set in the signal generator. Then th
32、e level of the generator output is increased in small steps from zero (or near zero) until the selected test level is achieved. At each level step the actual disturbing current IDistis measured by the current meter and compared with the wanted test level. When the test level is achieved within the g
33、iven tolerance (see specification) the selected measuring period is started. b) Before the next frequency (actual frequency increased by 1 %) is selected, the disturbing signal level is reduced by a sufficient value to avoid a disturbing signal level higher than the selected test level for the next
34、frequency. c) Then steps are repeated until the stop frequency is reached.

NOTE EN 60044-1 describes transformers having a measuring range of 0,01 Into 1,2 In, or of 0,05 Into 1,5 In, or of 0,05 Into 2 Inand transformers having a measuring range of 0,01 Into 1,2 Infor accuracy classes 0,2S and 0,5S. As the measuring ranges of a m
39、eter and its associated transformers have to be matched and as only transformers of classes 0,2S and 0,5S have the accuracy required to operate the meters of this standard, the measuring range of the meter will be 0,01 Into 1,2 In. The above Imaxcurrents should be chosen based on the respective maxi
40、mum currents of the meters being 120 %, 150 % and 200 % Inof the meter. PD CLC/TR 50579:2012- 11 - CLC/TR 50579:2012Annex A (informative) Example for a realised test set-up Setup schematic The dotted lines in the figure are control lines (e.g. RS 232 and IEC-Bus 488) Figure A.1 Example for a realize
41、d test set-up The disturbance signal (current) flowing through L to L is measured by the current meter (15). The software (14) increases the signal generator (10) level from zero to the wanted test level in steps. After each step the disturbance signal level is measured. The signal level is increase
42、d until the wanted test level is reached. Then the signal is applied for the selected dwell time (typically 10 s or longer). During the dwell time the 50 Hz voltage (5) and current (6) is measured and the pulse period of the sensor output (7) is measured also. The average of the current, the voltage
43、 and the period is then used for the calculation of the additional percentage error. Special care has been taken with the cabling to avoid current loops generating strong magnetic fields around the cables which might disturb the meter directly via a magnetic field coupling. The software (14) on the
44、computer controls and regulates the disturbing signal via measuring the disturbing signal (current) (15) and controlling the Amplitude and frequency of the signal-generator (10). NOTE A small portion of the disturbance signal (current) in this set-up is flowing through the 50 Hz current circuit (4)
45、and not through the EUT. However this portion is very small since the impedance of the current path is very low compared to the resistor in the 50 Hz-Path used for decoupling. This current can be neglected or determined in a pre test and corrected in the calculation or signal generation. Other measu
46、res like an inductor as low pass filter in the current path may also be used.
