Issue
Where is kW Demand displayed on the PowerLogic Energy Meter?
Product Line
PowerLogic Energy Meter
Environment
Energy Meter front display with or without the Energy Meter Communication Board (EMCB) installed.
Resolution
For the Energy Meter to show kW Demand on the front display, the Energy Meter Communication Board (EMCB) must be installed.
As the Energy Meter scrolls through the different values, it will flash KWD on the display. The value that appears after KWD is the kilowatt demand. When this value is displayed, there should also be a label MAX to the right side of the units kW.
Depending on the version of the Energy Meter, the display should scroll through the following values when the EMCB is installed (example for a single-phase Energy Meter):
- 0.000 Volts
- 0.000 Amps
- 0.000 kW
- KWD kW MAX
- 0.000 kW MAX (this value is the calculated Demand)
Note:
If the meter never displays the label KWD, then an EMCB is not installed. In that case, the value with kW MAX units represents the instantaneous maximum power that the unit has recorded, not the demand value.
