8: Transformer Loss Compensation
Electro
Industries/GaugeTech
™
Powered by Innovation™
Loss Compensation is applied to 1 second per phase Watt/VAR readings and, because
of that, affects all subsequent readings based on 1 second per phase Watt/VAR read-
ings. This method results in loss compensation being applied to the following quanti-
ties:
• Total Power
• Demands, per phase and total (Thermal, Block (Fixed) Window, Rolling (Sliding)
Window and Predictive Window)
• Maximum and minimum Demands
• Energy accumulations
• KYZ output of Energy accumulations
NOTE
: Loss Compensation is disabled when the meter is placed in Test Mode.
8.2: Nexus® 1262/1272 Meter's Transformer Loss Compensation
The Nexus® meter provides compensation for active and reactive power quantities by
performing numerical calculations. The factors used in these calculations are derived
by figuring the values from the worksheet shown here and in Appendix B of the
Com-
municatorPQA®, MeterManagerPQA
®
, and EnergyPQA.com
®
Software User Manual
.
You enter the derived values into the CommunicatorPQA® software through the
Device Profile Transformer and Line Loss Compensation screen.
The CommunicatorPQA® software allows you to enable transformer loss compensa-
tion for losses due to copper and iron, individually or simultaneously. Losses can
either be added to or subtracted from measured readings. Refer to Appendix B in the
CommunicatorPQA®, MeterManagerPQA
®
, and EnergyPQA.com

for instructions.
Loss compensation values must be calculated based on the meter installation. As a
result, transformer loss values must be normalized to the meter by converting the
base Voltage and current and taking into account the number of elements used in the
metering installation. For three-element meters, the installation must be normalized
to the phase-to-neutral Voltage and the phase current; in two-element meters the
