 Instrument Transformer Correction

(IT; CT’s and VT’s)
 Phase and Ratio error must be known at the burden levels
that the transformers in the meter system actually see.
 Wiring losses must be included as well.
 The PT ratio and phase corrections are fixed and do not
change with levels.
 The CT ratio and phase corrections are DYNAMIC and
change with current levels as needed.
 The corrections are done at the beginning of the signal
processing and they benefit all readings, as well as watt
and VAR pulses.

 Instrument Transformer Correction

(IT; CT’s and VT’s)
 Many existing installations have instrument transformer which
may not meet metering accuracy class 0.3%. The dynamic CT
correction allows for system accuracy improvements without
changing the existing CT’s.
 Increased accuracy can yield increased revenue.
 Increased accuracy without buying new transformers.
 Increased accuracy without the labor of changing out CT’s.
 Improves the overall accuracy of all CT installations including
metering system which have metering accuracy CT’s.

 Instrument Transformer Correction

(IT; CT’s and VT’s)
 A switch in Maxcom allows the user to turn the correction ON and
OFF without losing CT correction data in the meter – useful for
testing of the meter.

 Operation of the correction can be verified by running watt-hour

registration at 5A PF=1.0 and 0.5 Lag, and at 0.5A PF=1.0 and 0.5
Lag. Expected readings can then be verified.
