1. APPLICATION
The N20D meter is a digital programmable panel meter destined for

the measurement of single-phase power network parameters (2-wire
network) and 3-phase, 3,4-wire network in balanced and unbalanced
systems with the simultaneous display of measured quantities on a LCD
display. The meter enables the control and optimization of power elec-
tronics devices, systems and industrial installation operations.
The meter ensures the measurement of: rms values of voltage and
current, active, reactive and apparent power, active, reactive ener-
gy, power factors, frequency, 15, 30, 60 minutes’ mean active power,
archive of power profile, THD and harmonic measurements. Additio-
nally, the current value in the neutral wire is calculated. Voltages and
currents are multiplied by given voltage and current ratios of measuring
transformers. Indications of power and energy take into consideration
values of programmed ratios. The value of each measured quantity
can be transmitted to the master system through the RS-485 interface.
The relay output signals the overflow of the chosen quantity, and the
pulse output can be used for the consumption check of 3-phase active
and reactive energy.
The meter has additionally a continuous current output.
The meter has a galvanic separation between respective blocks:
- supply,
- measuring inputs,
- voltage and current inputs,
- analog output,
- RS-485 output,
- impulse output.

5. METER DESCRIPTION
5.1 Current Inputs

All current inputs are galvanically isolated (internal current transfor-
mers). The meter is adapted to co-operate with external measuring cur-
rent transformers. Displayed current values and derivative quantities
are automatically recoun in relation to the introduced external current
transformer ratio. Current inputs are defined in the order as 1 A or 5 A.
5.2 Voltage Inputs

Quantities on voltage inputs are automatically converted acc. to the
introduced ratio of the external voltage transformer. Voltage inputs are
defined in the order as 3 x 57.7/100 V, 3 x 230/400 V.

made version.
Fig. 5. Message after starting the meter

Caution! If on displays the message Err Cal or Err EE appears, one must
contact the service shop.
6.3 Monitoring of Parameters

In the measuring mode, quantities are displayed acc. to settled tables.
The pressure of the push-button (left) or push-button
(right) causes the transition between displayed quantities. The pressure
of the push-button (Enter) causes the transition between mean
and additional displayed values. The pressure of the push-but-
ton (down) causes the monitoring of the minimum value, however the
pressure of the push-button
(up) causes the monitoring of the maximum value.
The pressure of the (ESC) push-button during the monitoring of
these values, erases suitably minimum or maximum values. During the
operation in the measuring mode of all harmonics (ALL-table 3), instead
13
of harmonic energy, harmonic percentage values are displayed.
Through and push-buttons, one can switch between suc-
cessive harmonics. The harmonic no is alternately displayed with the
value. Through the RS-485 interface one can set up the values, that
would be visualized (starting from version 1.02).
The error display is described in the chapter 8.
When displaying the reactive power, a marker indicating the load cha-
racter is displayed, capacitive ( ) or inductive ( )

rement mode 3Ph/4W and single-phase 1Ph/2W are presented in the

Performed calculations:
Reactive power (the calculation method configured):
Q = S 2 − P2
k
or Q = ∑ U i * I i * sin (∠U i , I i )
i =1
where k – harmonic number (k = 21 dla 50 Hz, k = 18 dla 60 Hz)

Power factor PF: PF = P / S
Tangens power: tgϕ = Q / P
Cosinus: cosinus between U and I
The exceeding of the upper indication range is signaled on the display

by upper horizontal lines, however the exceeding of the lower range is
signaled by lower horizontal lines.
In case of averaged power measurement P3-phase, single measurements
are carried out with a 15 seconds’ quantum. Suitably to the 15 min, 30
min, 60 min selection, 60, 120 or 240 measurements are averaged. After
starting the meter or the power erasing, the first value will be calculated
after 15 seconds since the meter switching on or erasing. Till the time
to obtain all active power samples, the value of averaged power is
calculated from already measured samples.
The current in the neutral wire I(N) is calculated from phase current
vectors
The value of consumed ordered power can be used for a previous
warning against the exceeding of ordered power and to escape of
fines related with it. The consumption of ordered power is calculated on
the base of time interval set for the synchronization of the mean active
power and the value of ordered power (section 6.5.1). the consumption
example is presented in the section 6.5.3.
The alarm switching on is signaled by the lighting of the AL1 inscription

(in the mode AL1-3: of AL1, AL2, AL3 inscriptions). The end of alarm
duration at the alarm signaling support switched on, is indicated by the
pulsation of the AL1 inscription (in the mode AL1-3: of AL1, AL2, AL3
inscriptions).

The automatic erasing of energy is carried out:

- for active energy when changing: voltage or current ratio;
- for reactive energy when changing: voltage or current ratio, the way
of reactive power calculation;
- for energy of harmonics when changing: voltage or current ratio,
when changing the measured harmonic number.
22
Values are set by means of and push-buttons, however the
position of the set digit is selected by means of and push-
buttons. The active position is signaled by the cursor. The value is
accepted by the push-button and resigned by the pressure
of the push-button. During the acceptation, the value insertion
possibility in the range is checked. In case when the value is set beyond
the range, the meter remains in the parameter edition mode, however
the value is set on the maximum value (when the value is too higher) or
on the minimum value (when the value is too lower).

AL3 – phase 3. It will be disabled only when all alarms disappear. Alarms
operate in the n-on mode with identical hysteresis thresholds ALof and
ALon for each phase.The alarm condition withdraw is signaled by the
pulsation of the alarm symbol independently of the set support value of
the alarm signaling. The blanking of the signaling support follows after
pressing and push-buttons (during 3 sec).
Example no 1 of alarm setting:

Set the alarm of n-on type for the monitored quantity P – 3-phase active
power,
version 5 A; 3 x 230/400 V. Switching the alarm on, after exceeding 3800 W,
switching the alarm off after decreasing 3100 W.
Calculate: rated 3-phase active power: P = 3 x 230 V x 5 A = 3450 W
3450 W – 100 % 3450 W – 100 %
3800 W – ALon % 3100 W – ALoF %
It appears: ALon = 110 % ALoF = 90 %
Set: Monitored quantity: P; Kind of alarm: n-on, ALon 110, ALoF 90.0.
Example no 2 of alarm setting:

Set the alarm of earliest warning about the possibility to exceed the
ordered 1 MW power on the level 90% at the one hour accounting.
Measuring current transformer 2500/5 A, voltage :230 V, Instantaneous
maximum import of power: 1.5 MW.
Calculate: rated 3-phase active power of the ND20 meter: P = 3 x 230 V
x 2500 A (500 * 5 A) = 1.725 MW (500 * 3450 W) – 100%;
90% of ordered power / rated power = 90.0% * 1 MW / 1.725 MW = 52.1 %
of the rated meter value (rounding down).
The’ ordered hourly power (energy for consumption): 1 MWh / 4 quarters
= 900 MWs,
90% - 810 MWs. Remaining 10% at maximum power import would be
used in time: 900 MWs / 1.5 MW = 60 s

6.6. Configuration of THD Measurement,
Harmonics and Energy for the Harmonic
The meter has 3 work modes related to the THD and harmonic calculation.
When setting the parameter of the harmonic number:
- tHd – the meter measures every 1 second only the THD value for currents
and voltages, the result is exposed on the display and expressed in
registers in percentages. Energy of harmonics is reset and particular
harmonics include the error value (1e20);
- All – the meter measures harmonics from 2 up to 21, for 50 Hz frequency
(from 2 up to 18 for 60 Hz frequency). Energy of harmonics is reset.
- 2 – 21 – measurement of the selected harmonic value, every 1 second,
the result is exposed on the display and in basic units (V, A) in registers.
Energy for the given harmonic is counted up.
The switching of the harmonic number or the change of voltage or current
ratio resets energy for harmonics.
6.7. Archive – Active Power Profile
The ND20 meter is equipped with an archive allowing to store up to

9000 measurements of mean active power. Mean active power PAV is
archived with a 15, 30, 60 minutes’ interval of time, synchronized with the
real time clock. In case of operation in the 15 minutes’ walking window
mode, the archiving is performed in the same way as for the 15 minutes’
interval of time (fig. 11). The direct access to the archive is for 15 records
including the date, time and value placed in the range of addresses
1000 -1077. The position of the first (oldest) archived sample is placed
in the register 1000, however the position of the last archived sample
(youngest) is placed in the register 1001. the value of the first record,
from 15 available records placed in registers 1003 – 1077, is written in
the register 1002. The write of the first read out record value (1 – 9000)
causes the data updating of 15 records for readout.
In registers, in which samples were not already been written, are 1e20
values.
33
The archive is organized in the shape of a circular buffer. After writing
the 9000 th value, the next overwrites the oldest with number 0, and the
successive, the next with number 1, etc.
If the value of the register 1000 is higher than 1001, that means that the
buffer was overflowed one time at least. Eg, the value 15 in the register
1000, and 14 in the register 1001 means, that there were already more
than nine thousand samples and oldest samples are from the record 15
up to 9000, next from the record 1 to the youngest record with number 14.
The change of the current or voltage ratio, kind of mean power, causes
the archive erasing.
The reset of averaged power or the change of averaging time does not
erase the archive.
The automatic erasing of the archive and averaged power is performed
when changing the voltage or current ratio.

7. UPDATING OF SOFTWARE
Function enabling updating of software from the computer of the PC with
software LPCon was implementation in meter ND20 (from software version
1.09). Free software LPCon and update files are accessible on the site
www.lumel.com.pl. The connected to the computer converter RS485 is
required on USB to the updating, e.g.: the converter PD10.
a) b)
Fig. 13. Program view: a) LPCon, b) updating of software
Note! After updating the software, the manufacturer’s settings of the

meter should be set, so it is recommended to save the meter parameters
before updating using the software LPCon.
35
After starting LPCon’s software COM port, baudrate, transmission mode
and adress should be set. It can be done in Options. Then, ND20 meter
should be selected from Device. Push icon Load to read and save current
settings. Open window Lumel Updater (LU) – figure 13b from Updating-
>Updating of devices firmware. Push Connect. Update progress is
shown in Messages section. Text Port opened appear after correctly
opened port. Putting meter in update’s mode can be done in two ways:
remote from LU (with settings from LPCon – port, baudrate, transmission
mode and adress) or by turning power on while button pressed.
Meter display shows the „boot” inscription with bootloader version,
LU shows message „Device found” with name and current version of
firmware. Using button browse to the meter upgrade file. If the
file is opened correctly, a File opened message is displayed. Press the
Send button. When upgrade is successfully completed, meter reverts to
the default settings and begins normal operation while the information
window displays Done message and upgrade elapsed time. Close LU
and go to Restoration of default parameters. Select checkbox and press
Apply button. After the LU window is closed, press the Save icon to save
all initially read parameters. Current firmware version can be checked
when meter is power on.
