AMI
Electricity is the most important source of energy in daily life. Distributed generation and
load-controlled principles are already established as the basic components of electrical power
supply network.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is an integral network and system for metering,
collection, memory and analysis of customer consumption information in enabling a Smart Grid.
Furthermore, consumers can obtain the consumption information timely by multiple mediums
including in-home displays, on line portals and smart phone applications, enabling informed
decisions for efficient use of energy.
A Smart Energy Meter comes with two-way communication to enable connection with
centralized systems allow deployment of Smart Grid applications.

Meters shall be installed and maintained only by suitably-qualified personnel. The operator must
read the following safety advice when performing installation or service work on meters.
Meter Handling
Before installing or removing a meter, or removing the terminal cover for any reason, insulate the
meter from the mains power supply.
Adhere strictly to all relevant national regulations for the avoidance of electrical accidents.
Always disconnect all measurement and auxiliary circuit connections from the meter before
attempting to open the meter housing.
Installation
Install meters in accordance with the voltage and current specifications printed on the front
panel and the wire and environmental specifications given in the installation information.
The meter measuring and auxiliary circuits must be galvanically insulated.
All voltage paths (measurement and auxiliary) must be fused.
The meter voltage connections must be physically separated from the communication lines
in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Do not install meters that are obviously damaged.
Do not install meters that have been dropped or otherwise subjected to significant impact
even if no damage can be seen.
Following installation, ensure that the meter terminal covers are correctly fitted and sealed
to prevent user access.
Transformer connections
Observe all industry guidelines and safety precautions when performing any installation or
service work on meters connected to Voltage (VT) and/or Current Transformers (CT).
Transformers that do not have a ground connection on the secondary may reach dangerously
high output voltages.
Always insulate voltage transformers.
Always short-out current transformer secondary circuits.
Always ensure the transformer secondary circuit is connected to ground unless a special
wiring arrangement is required.

7.2. Metrology
The meter current sensors provide a wide dynamic range and guarantee high stability over the
operating temperature range of the meter.
The current and voltage input signals are sampled and digitized 42 times per cycle by an analogue
to digital converter (ADC) on measurement chip, then processed by a microcontroller to derive
various energy values. The microcontroller records these values in a suite of registers that are
independent of any meter configuration and are always available. These registers accumulate
their respective energy values in an incremental fashion.
The contents of these registers can be displayed at any time as instantaneous values on the
meter LCD.
The active and reactive energy is calculated according to the formulas as below:
( ) ( )
( ) ()
The apparent energy is calculated by the method of Quadratic sum of active and reactive powers.
S = P²+ Q²
This method is precise at low current.
Record the energy always considering the direction of flow, which is sum the export energy
and subtracts the import energy.
As shown in figure 7.5, T is the time interval used for calculating average power. Average power is
calculated in every “period”, and the result is stored in register named “current_average_value”.
Energy(cumulated in interval T)
current_average_value =
T
At the end of interval “T”, value in “current_average_value” and timestamp are copied to register
named “last_average_value".
Sliding-Window Mode
Take the example shown in Figure 7.7, the demand calculation interval T is composed by 3
periods, and the current average value is calculated based on the last 2 periods result and
energy accumulated during period ak, and do step by step of each period.
last_average_value: lav
current_average_value: cav
IM meter use typically sliding window of 15 sliding windows with 1-minute period;
IM meter is equipped with a backup power supply to ensure these functions, including:
1. Super-Capacitor
It is able to provide a minimum of 2 days power supply without LCD display triggered during power
outage.
During power outage, the super-capacitor is the first backup device to be drained.
2. Battery
Internal Fixed battery, soldered on meter functional PCB.
Replaceable battery (Only optional for IM300)
Both batteries are specified to provide a minimum capacity of 3 years continuous operation at 25°C
and a minimum shelf-life of 10 years, with less than 10% loss of capacity due to self-discharge at
25°C.
The nominal battery voltage is 3.6V, if the battery voltage falls below a preset threshold value
(3.06V), battery low event will be recorded, and alarm shown as flashing icon on LCD screen and/or
LED.
During power outage, the power supply starts from super capacitor, the replaceable battery, and
finally internal fixed battery.
If the monthly billing interval occurs during power outage, the meter will execute billing after
power is restored. In the case that the power outage has taken over 2 months or longer, the meter
will only store one billingrecord.
7.9. (Dis-)Connection
IM100 and IM300-AD1034 type of meter are able to be equipped with internal relay to connect
and disconnect supply to consumer for purpose of load control and prepayment. (Dis-)Connection
can be controlled by command or manually pressing button, or a preset action script at regular
time.
IM meters are also able to connect 1 channel of auxiliary terminals to an external dis-connector,
and control on/off by signal at maximum 250V/5A by an external relay.
Note 1, the filed marked in “X” means the path is applicable in the corresponding mode.
Note 2, In Mode (0) the disconnect control object is always in 'connected' state, so no state switch
path is allowed.
Note 3, Local dis-connection is always possible unless the corresponding trigger is inhibited.
The manual operation of reconnection is necessary, after the current has return below the current
limit.
7.11. Anti-tamper
IM meters are sealed to ensure no hardware interface or core component is exposed. When such
tamper event occurs, the corresponding event will be recorded with time stamped, and then
trigger alarm by LED/LCD/buzzer/message push action according to configuration.
The IM meters detect the current reversal when the power factor value is larger than the limit
value. This limit value is programmed.
Occurrence Condition
1) Line current must be greater than 50% of Starting current (Ist);
2) Current must be reversed (negative);
3) Last for more than 30 seconds.
Restoration Condition
1) Line current must be greater than 50% of starting current (Ist);;
2) Current must be forward (positive);
3) Last for more than 30 seconds.
Due to the fact that meter has an internal neutral point to prevent the influence of absence of the
neutral line to energy measurement and the fact that meter is not connected to protective earth
the detection of neutral break is not straight forward. There are 2 possible methods to detect
neutral break but neither of them is useful in systems with a symmetrical load:
Monitor current asymmetry as a consequence of the shift of internal neutral point.
Monitor sum of all phase currents.
In the case of absence of neutral line the sum of currents in the system is equal to zero but currents
are different in amplitude and RMS values.
The current cut event happens when the meter detects there is no current in the meter and the
Occurrence Condition
1) Residual Current (Measured Neutral current – Calculated Neutral current i.e. vector sum of all 3
phases current) must be greater than 2.5A) Any line current must be less than 0.1A
Restoration Condition
1) Residual current must be less than 1.5A
2) Average of all line currents must be greater than 1.5A
Partial bypass:
Occurrence Condition
1) Residual Current (Measured Neutral current – Calculated Neutral current i.e. vector sum
of all three phase current) must be higher than 25% * In (nominal current);
2) All line currents must be higher than 15% * In.
Restoration Condition
1) Residual current must be less than 15% * In;
2) Average of all line currents must be greater than 15% * In.
Fully bypass:
Occurrence condition
1) Residual current (Measured Neutral current – Calculated Neutral current i.e. vector sum
of all three phase current) must be greater than 25% * In;
2) All line current must be less than 1% * In.
Occurrence condition
1) Residual current must be less than 15% * In;
2) All line current must be greater than 15% * In.

8.2. LED
There are three red LEDs on the main cover,
Active energy pulse;
Reactive energy pulse;
Alarm indicator (configurable).
The pulse configuration must be adapted to the maximal possible pulse frequency, which itself
results from the pulse length and the conditions of the pulse receiver.
The conditions of pulse receiver have to be considered individually for every case, but the pulse
length can be selected and defines the maximum possible pulse frequency. Therefore, the pulse
pause (distance between 2 pulses) must be equal or higher than the pulse length, so the maximal
pulse frequency will be calculated from the inverted value of the twice pulse length.
Table 8.4
Pulse Width Min. Pulse Pause Max. Pulse Frequency
35 ms 40 ms 12.5 Hz
80 ms 80 ms 6.25 Hz
There are various communication interfaces in IM meters to support AMI, parameters reading and
configuration.
Note:
Because PIN 1, 2, 3 and 5 share the power supply so the total power supply by the IM100 UART
interface can support is 12 Watts for long term operation. Peak value can reach up to 15 Watts.
9.4. RS232/RS485
Both RS232 and RS485 interfaces are physically appear as RJ45 female connector, with the Pin
sequence shown in picture below. They are both capable of supporting baud rates of 600bps,
1200bps, 2400bps, 4800bps, and 9600bps. The protocol ICE62056-46 is supported on both RS232
and RS485.
10.1. Warnings
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Before and during installation of a meter, observe all requirements given in the Safety information.
In particular:
Meters must be installed only by suitably-qualified personnel.
Ensure that the meter supply cabling is insulated from the mains supply, and that the isolation
cannot be overridden by another person.
