KM-90A WATTHOUR METER TEST SYSTEM Functional Description and Specifications A. General The test system shall: include a built-in analyzer/counter dedicated to the purpose of testing watthour meter parameters; allow test sequence setup from an operator programmable menu; provide a semi-automatic testing mode wherein the Full Load, Power Factor, and Light Load tests on a meter are performed automatically, without operator intervention; allow set up by form switch and front panel patch leads; allow closed-link testing of single-phase and polyphase meters; provide overall system accuracy of ±0.1% at unity and 50% power factor; use a pneumatically (air) operated test socket which remains closed upon loss of power or air. B. Test Requirements 1. Tests Performed a. Watthour As Found and As Left results shall be stored separately. Each can be separately recalled to the display, printed out, or sent to a computer or other peripheral device via an RS-232 port (or parallel port). b. KYZ (Pulse Initiators) Pulse initiator testing can be performed in either the pulses or revolutions mode. Pulses/revolution and its reciprocal shall be calculated and displayed. Additionally, KY and KZ counts shall be displayed. c. Demand Meter Testing Demand testing shall be done by either a time interval (0.1 to 99.9 minutes) or by a number of watthours (as measured by the watthour standard). The unit shall display the average KW applied, the disk revolutions, measured watthours, and the time of the test to the nearest tenth of a minute. d. Creep The system shall allow application of test voltage (without test current) for creep testing. e. Reference Standard The system shall be capable of testing external pulse producing standards (open collector output). 2. Meters Tested The system shall test all socket base meters–ANSI (American National Standards Institute) forms 1 through 16 (excluding 11), 19, 20, 21, 24, 26, and 29. Al
