ELECTRICAL WIRING
Electricity meter connection composition
z
To perform energy saving peak cut control, basically, electricity meters with pulse transmission
function measuring all the power consumed by the air conditioner are necessary. Multiple
meters installations are also possible as long as the number of electricity meters is within the
specied limit. A general electricity meter installation conguration is shown below.

Item Description Remarks
Electricity meter Measures the voltage and current of the power cable to which measurement
line is connected and nds the power consumption from these. In addition,
pulses corresponding to the measured value are output to the transmission
line.
VT(PT) Voltage Transformer (Power Transformer)
Transform the power source voltage to a measurable voltage. Transformation
ratio is indicated by VT (PT) ratio.
Normally unnecessary for the voltage value level used by outdoor units and
indoor units.
CT Current Transformer
Transform the power line current value to a current measurable by an
electricity meter. Transformation ratio is indicated by CT ratio.
There are types which is inserted between power cables and types which are
coupled to the power cables.
Pulse unit Pulse unit indicates the relationship between electricity meter output pulse and
measured power. The value specied in pulse unit indicates the power in kWh
consumed on the power cable for 1 pulse.
Units: [kWh/pulse]
The value specied by pulse unit takes into account the VT and CT ratio used
and corresponds to the actual power consumption itself.
Pulse unit reference
point
Indicates the measurement point of the power consumption specied in pulse
units.
Pulse constant Pulse constant indicates the relationship between electricity meter measured
power and output pulses. The value specied by pulse constant indicates
how many pulses are equivalent to 1kWh of power consumption input to an
electricity meter.
Units: [pulse/kWh]
Because the ratio of VT and CT used is not taken into account in the value
specied by pulse constant, to nd the actual power consumption on the power
cable, the pulse constant value must be multiplied by both the VT and CT ratio.
Pulse constant
reference point
Indicates the measurement point of power consumption specied by pulse
constant.
