Abstract

Non-linear equipment is increasingly being used in household situations to increase the efficiency of the power consumption of equipment. This results in conducted electromagnetic interference problems due to the switching of the equipment, which draws pulsed currents with high peak values and fast rising slopes. Accordingly, static energy meters, used to measure the energy consumption in households, show misreadings in conjunction with such pulsed currents. Therefore, a control meter is under construction which is used to validate the readings of an installed static energy meter. When validating the control meter, energy metering errors were found resulting from current droop of the current transducers. The droop in the current response multiplied with the voltage resulted in large energy metering errors of 38%. While no issues where found for linear, resistive, loads. This shows the need for pulsed immunity tests to validate energy measurement systems, because linear tests have not shown to be problematic.
