2. DESCRIPTION MULTIPOWER is a double three-phase power meter. Compact and versatile, it allows the measurement of three-phase, two-phase and single-phase circuits. In addition to that, it has a balanced circuit measurement mode, which provides cost and space savings, enabling a meter to estimate three different three-phase consumptions by measuring the current of a phase through a three-phase electrical circuit.
4. GLOSSARY ŸActive power (W): Active power is that part of electrical power that is converted into useful work or other forms of power within an electrical circuit. It is the real power consumed or supplied by a device or system, responsible for carrying out mechanical, thermal, lighting work, among others. ŸReactive Power (VAR): Reactive power does not perform useful work directly but is necessary to maintain voltage and current in phase in alternating current circuits.

9. CONNECTION DIAGRAM 9.1Connection types: Meters M1 and M2 operate independently, their operating modes are defined by parameters 1.1.1 M1: operating mode, and 1.1.22 M2: operating mode, the available modes are: single-phase, two-phase, three-phase and three-phase balanced. 9.1.1 1F+N Single-phase: Reads one phase, the reading of the other phases is disabled.
9. CONNECTION DIAGRAM 9.1.4 3F+N Three-Phase Balanced: In the context of a balanced three-phase system, current measurement is performed on only one of the phases, with each phase representing an independent three-phase circuit. That is, phase 1 corresponds to circuit 1, phase 2 to circuit 2 and phase 3 to circuit 3. Power, demand, and power values are calculated by multiplying the voltage by the current of each phase and then multiplying this result by 3.
For the MULTIPOWER to correctly recognize the data on power consumed and supplied, it is necessary to pay attention to the installation of the primary and the polarity of the CT secondary. If the CT connection is made with reversed polarity, the MULTIPOWER will accumulate the consumed power in the supplied power records, and vice versa.

12.5 3F+N Balanced operating mode: As previously described, in item 9.1.4, in 3F + N Three-Phase Balanced mode, MULTIPOWER performs all power, demand and power calculations using values from just one phase of each load in a balanced three-phase circuit. However, the resulting values are presented on the summary screens multiplied by 3, and the summary screens do not display total values.

Power consumed and supplied: MULTIPOWER is a meter that operates in 4 quadrants, that is, it is capable of separately measuring and recording the power that is consumed or supplied to the electrical grid, also identifying whether the power factor is inductive or capacitive in both cases.
15. MODULAR AND ANGULAR ASYMMETRY Detection of modular/angular asymmetry alarms: Modular voltage asymmetry is quantified by analyzing the voltage amplitudes in each phase in relation to the nominal value (i.e., the standard line voltage of the electrical network). When the voltage amplitudes in the phases are not equal, there is a modular asymmetry. This is expressed in terms of percent imbalance and is calculated using the following formula: S = Sensitivity (0 to 100%) Modular asymmetry: Tolerance = (100 - S) x (Average of Measured Voltages)
16.1 Temperature Alarms: MULTIPOWER allows the configuration of up to two independent temperature alarm logics, where it is possible to assign an alarm output to each sensor or up to two alarm outputs in different ranges for the same sensor. It also allows linking with Auxiliaries in order to turn off their output in the event of an alarm.
16. AUXILIARY LOGIC 16.2 Auxiliaries: MULTIPOWER offers support for up to four auxiliary logic, which can be programmed to operate as thermostats or auxiliary outputs, depending on the auxiliary operating mode setting. 16.2.1 Always On Operating mode: In this mode, the auxiliary output is activated according to the time schedule of the linked events.
16. AUXILIARY LOGIC 16.2.3 Cooling Thermostat operating mode: In this mode, the Auxiliary operates as a heating thermostat, where the output is activated for values lower than the setpoint minus hysteresis and is turned off for values greater than the setpoint. The operation of the thermostat does not depend on the schedule of events. Example: 1.3.6 AUX2: Operating mode = Cooling thermostat...
After the time in manual mode has elapsed, the Auxiliary mode returns to the previous selection, off or automatic. 16.3 Events: MULTIPOWER allows the use of up to 8 configurable events where it is possible to program the performance of one or more auxiliaries according to the time schedule.
