4.3.2.1 Harmonics
The PMC-33M-A provides harmonic analysis for THD, TOHD, TEHD and individual harmonics up to the
31st order. All harmonic parameters are available on the front panel and through communications. In
addition, the PMC-33M-A also provides TDD, K-factor and Crest-factor measurements for current.
4.3.2.2 TDD
Total Demand Distortion (TDD) is defined as the ratio of the root mean square (rms) of the harmonic
current to the root mean square value of the rated or maximum demand fundamental current.
TDD of the current I is calculated by the formula below:
where
IL = maximum demand of fundamental current
h = harmonic order (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)
Ih = rms load current at the harmonic order h
4.3.2.3 K-Factor
K-Factor is defined as the weighted sum of the harmonic load current according to their effects on
transformer heating, as derived from ANSI/IEEE C57.110. A K-Factor of 1.0 indicates a linear load (no
harmonics). The higher the K-Factor, the greater the harmonic heating effect.

4.6 Diagnostics
The PMC-33M-A provides wiring error detection for 3P4W and 3P3W wiring modes, which allow users
to check for possible problems especially during the initial commissioning stage. The following wiring
errors may be detected:
Frequency Out-of-Range
Voltage / Current Phase Loss
Incorrect Voltage and Current Phase Sequence
kW Direction per phase and Total
Possible Incorrect CT Polarity
Please note the detections above are based on the assumptions below:
The Voltage and Current Phase Sequence are consistent
kW is kW Import, which means the kW is over 0
The wiring is correct
3P4W wiring mode supports all detections
3P3W wiring mode does not support the detection of Voltage Phase Loss, kW Direction per phase
and CT Polarity
The Diagnostic register (0101) indicates the status of the wiring error detection with a bit value of 1
meaning active and 0 meaning inactive which are illustrated in table below:
Bit Event
B00 Summary Bit (Set if any other bit is set)
B01 Frequency is out of range (45 to 65Hz) (3P4W or 3P3W)
B02 Any phase voltage < 10% of PT Primary (Register 6000) (3P4W only)
B03 Any phase current < 10% of CT Primary (Register 6004) (3P4W or 3P3W)
B04 Reserved
B05 Reserved
B06 Voltage Phase Reversal (3P4W only)
B07 Current Phase Reversal (3P4W or 3P3W)
B08 Negative kW Total may be abnormal (3P4W or 3P3W)
B09 Negative kWa may be abnormal (3P4W only)
B10 Negative kWb may be abnormal (3P4W only)
B11 Negative kWc may be abnormal (3P4W only)
B12 CTa polarity may be reversed (3P4W only)
B13 CTb polarity may be reversed (3P4W only)
B14 CTc polarity may be reversed (3P4W only)
B15 Reserved

6) The PMC-33M-A has one SOE Log. The log has a Log Pointer that indicates its current logging
position. The range of the Log Pointer is between 0 and 0xFFFFFFFF, and it is incremented by one
for every new log generated and will roll over to 0 if its current value is 0xFFFFFFFF. A value of zero
indicates that the SOE does not contain any Log. If a Clear Log is performed via communications,
its Log Pointer will be reset to zero. Therefore, any 3rd party software should assume that a Clear
Log action has been performed if it sees the SOE Log Pointer rolling over to zero or to a value that
is smaller than its own pointer.
Use the following equation to determine the latest log location:
Latest Log Location = Modulo [SOE Log Pointer / SOE Log Depth (fixed at 100)]
7) The Device Operating Time means the accumulated Operating Time whenever any per-phase
Current exceeds 2% of Inominal (5A), which is 100mA. The Device Operating Time data is stored in
non-volatile memory and will not suffer any loss in the event of a power failure.
8) When the Wiring Mode is 1P2W L-N or 1P2W L-L, the L2 and L3 phase voltages and currents have
no meaning, and their registers are reserved. When the Wiring Mode is 1P3W, the L3 phase
voltages and currents have no meaning, and their registers are reserved.
9) When the Wiring Mode is 1P2W L-N, 1P2W L-L or 1P3W, the U1/I1, U2/I2 and U0/I0 have no
meaning and their registers are reserved.
5.2 Energy Measurements
The Energy registers have a maximum value of 1,000,000,000 and will roll over to zero automatically
when it is reached. The actual energy value is 0.01 times of the register value.

3) The Self-Read Time applies to both the Maximum Demand Log as well as the Max./Min. Log and
supports the following three options:
A zero value means that the Self-Read will take place at 00:00 of the first day of each month.
A non-zero value means that the Self-Read will take place at a specific time and day based on
the formula: Self-Read Time = (Day x 100 + Hour) where 0 ≤ Hour ≤ 23 and 1 ≤ Day ≤ 28. For
example, the value 1512 means that the Self-Read will take place at 12:00pm on the 15th day
of each month.
A 0xFFFF value means the automatic self-read operation is disabled and the log will be
transferred manually.

5.9 Time
There are two sets of Time registers supported by the PMC-33M-A – Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute
/ Second (Registers # 60000 to 60002) and UNIX Time (Register # 60004). When sending time to the
PMC-33M-A over Modbus communications, care should be taken to only write one of the two Time
register sets. All registers within a Time register set must be written in a single transaction. If registers
60000 to 60004 are being written to at the same time, both Time register sets will be updated to reflect
the new time specified in the UNIX Time register set (60004) and the time specified in registers 60000-
60002 will be ignored. Writing to the Millisecond register (60003) is optional during a Time Set operation.
When broadcasting time, the function code must be set to 0x10 (Pre-set Multiple Registers). Incorrect
date or time values will be rejected by the meter. In addition, attempting to write a Time value less than
Jan 1, 2000 00:00:00 will be rejected.
