2: Meter Overview
2.1: The Nexus® 1262/1272 Multi-parameter Revenue Meter
The Nexus® 1262/1272 transformer-rated, polyphase revenue meter is a unique
collection of metering technologies designed to fulfill advanced metering require-
ments. It provides high-accuracy power and energy measurements of Voltage,
current and all power values, data logging and power quality recording. The unit
makes the data available through the programmable display, connected systems, and
historic logs.
2.2: Accu-Measure
TM
Technology - Theory of Operation
The advanced metering capability of the Nexus® 1262/1272 device is a result of EIG’s
Accu-Measure
TM
Digital Sensing Technology. Accu-Measure
TM
technology is a
combination of high-speed sampling, high-resolution measurement and high-speed
calculation. All Voltage and current waveforms are sampled and RMS values calculated
continuously every cycle. Values of Voltage, current and power are produced every
three cycles and every second.
Figure 2.1 illustrates the key processes operating within the Nexus® 1262/1272
meter. The meter allows for four types of inputs and can provide outputs to an
integrated display, pulse outputs and several communication ports.
Nexus® 1262/1272 Meter Processing
Voltage and current signals enter the meter and are sampled at up to 256 samples
per cycle. Each sample is resolved to a digital value using 16-bit analog-to-digital
converters. The Nexus® 1272 meter has two 16-bit A/D converters and the Nexus®
1262 meter has one. The first converter, which both meters have, is for the real-time
measurements. The second converter, unique to the 1272, is for the waveform
recorder. The use of two A/D converters ensures that both signals have maximum
resolution, accuracy and integrity. The second converter also isolates energy sampling
and calculations from the waveform fault recording requirements. This provides both
advanced energy and advanced waveform analysis.
