5.2  Measurement

Update Rate:

 ~200 milliseconds. Internally, all measurements are performed at this rate.

Start-Up Time:

 ~500 milliseconds. The meter starts measuring energy and generating pulses 

this long after AC voltage is applied.

Default CT Phase Angle Correction:

 0.0 degrees.

Table 4: WattNode Model Service Types

* Note: the delta models have an optional neutral connection that may be used for measuring 

wye circuits. In the absence of neutral, voltages are measured with respect to ground. Delta 
WattNode models use the phase A and phase B connections for power.

Over-Voltage Limit:

 125% of nominal Vac. Extended over-voltage operation can damage the 

WattNode and void the warranty.

Over-Current Limit:

 120% of rated current. Exceeding 120% of rated current will not harm the 

WattNode meter but the current and power will not be measured accurately.

Maximum Surge:

 4kV according to EN 61000-4-5, 6kV for WattNode Revenue models.

Power Consumption:

 The following table shows maximum volt-amperes, the power supply 

ranges, typical power consumption, and typical power factors with all three phases powered at 
nominal line voltages. The power supply consumes most of the total power, while the measure-
ment circuitry draws 1-10% of the total (6-96 milliwatts per phase, depending on the model). Due 
to the design of the power supply, WattNode meters draw slightly more power at 50 Hz.

 Note: The 

Rated VA

 is the maximum at 115% of nominal Vac at 50 Hz. This is the same as the 

value that appears on the front label of the meter.

Maximum Power Supply Voltage Range:

 -20% to +15% of nominal (see table above). For the 

3D-240 service, this is -20% of 208 Vac (166 Vac) to +15% of 240 Vac (276 Vac).

Operating Frequencies:

 50/60 Hz
