Issue:
Is Energy Monitoring affected when applying single phase line voltage to an ATV630?
Product Line:
Altivar 630 drives
Environment:
All
Cause:
Need details of energy monitoring in single phase environment
Resolution:
Yes, using single phase input voltage will affect energy monitoring.
The energy monitoring functionality is based on nominal current drive with error estimation +/- 5% .
The problem with single phase input voltage is that we have to derate the drive (3 x Pn). So the margin for error will be much bigger, and so the energy monitoring is far from reality.
If measuring is needed, an external device would have to be used (like a PowerLogic for example).
