Transformation ratio
:
The pulses generated by a billing meter are always associated to the secondary, so that the Conversion
Ratio (Transformation Ratio) must be programmed in the case of Medium Voltage installations for
transferring the secondary pulses to the real primary measurement.
Example:
Low Voltage Installation:
Forward voltage: 1/1 -- Transformation ratio = 1.
Medium Voltage Installation:
Transformation ratio = X
In a Medium Voltage installation, where:
Voltage Primary = 27500 V, Voltage Secondary = 110 V.
Current Primary = 200 A, Current Secondary= 5 A.
Transformation ratio = 10000�
4�3�5�- SPECIAL BROADCAST COMMAND
In case the peripheral number assigned to the
ReadWatt
device is unknown, you have the broadcast
command available (address 00). With this command you can change certain basic parameters, such
as the MODBUS peripheral number or communication speed.
For this you need to know the serial number of the device you wish to access.
The serial number is on the front panel of the device (
Figure 9
); this number must be translated into
hexadecimal language so that it can be sent in the broadcast command.
Serie no
( in decimal)

It is important to remember that because it is a broadcast frame, there is no confirmation reply.
