If the raw data reading is 250 then the current reading in engineering units will be as follows:
Amps reading = 250
×
(400.00 - 0)/(9999 - 0) + 0 = 10.00A
3. Power readings
a) Assume device settings (direct wiring): Wiring 4LL3; PT = 1; CT primary current = 200A; Voltage
scale = 828V.
Active Power engineering scales (rounded to whole kW, see Section 4):
HI_ENG = Pmax = Vmax

2 = 662,400W = 662kW
LO_ENG = -Pmax = -662kW
If the raw data reading is 5500 then the power reading in engineering units will be as follows:
Watts reading = 5500
×
(662 - (-662))/(9999 - 0) + (-662) = 66.3kW
If the raw data reading is 500 then the power reading in engineering units will be as follows:
Watts reading = 500
×
(662 - (-662))/(9999 - 0) + (-662) = -595.8W
b) Assume device settings (wiring via PT): Wiring 4LN3; PT = 120; CT primary current = 200A.

3/1000 = 119,232kW
LO_ENG = -Pmax = -119,232kW
If the raw data reading is 5500 then the power reading in engineering units will be as follows:
Watts reading = 5500
×
(119,232 - (-119,232))/(9999 - 0) + (-119,232) = 11,936kW
If the raw data reading is 500 then the power reading in engineering units will be as follows:
Watts reading = 500
×
(119,232 - (-119,232))/(9999 - 0) + (-119,232) = -107,307kW
4. Power Factor readings
Power factor engineering scales (see Section 3.3):
HI_ENG = 1.000.
LO_ENG = -1.000.
If the raw data reading is 8900 then the power factor in engineering units will be as follows:
Power factor reading = 8900
×
(1.000 - (-1.000))/(9999 - 0) + (-1.000) = 0.78
2.6.2 32-bit Long Integer Format
32-bit long integer data is transmitted in two adjacent 16-bit Modbus registers as unsigned
(UINT32) or signed (INT32) whole numbers. The first register contains the low-order word
(lower 16 bits) and the second register contains the high order word (higher 16 bits). The
low-order word always starts at an even Modbus address.
The value range for unsigned data is 0 to 4,294,967,295; for signed data the range is -
2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
If your Modbus driver does not support a 32-bit long integer format, you can read the two
16-bit registers separately, and then convert them into a 32-bit value as follows (using C
notation):
32-bit value = (signed short) high_order_register
×
(unsigned short)
low_order_register
Examples
1. Unsigned 32-bit Values
If you read unsigned Voltage V1 of 69,000V from registers 13952-13953, then the register readings will
be as follows:
(13952) = 3464
(13953) = 1
The 32-bit value is (1 x 65536 + 3464) = 69000V.
