Step 1: 
a.  Press POWER to select the power category.  
 
!The display blanks and all annunciators in the  
    power section glow, confirming selection.  
Step 2: 
a.  Press PHASE/NEXT for the desired power function.  
 
!The functions are accessed in a clockwise sequence. 
 
Note: For KWH readings: The first digit on the left of the KWH counter will blank out on the display 
when rollover at 199999 KWH occurs. The actual value of the first digit can only be viewed 
through digital communications. Or, reset the KWH counter to zero to avoid confusion. 
 
 
5.2: Accessing Voltage and Current Phases 
 
The EPM5300P displays four current measurements (phases A, B, C, and Neutral) and six voltage 
measurements (phase-to-phase: A-B, B-C, C-A and phase-to-neutral: A-N, B-N, C-N).

Step 1: 
a. To select the Amps (or Volts) category, press    
 AMPS (or VOLTS).  
 
! The display blanks and all annunciators in the   
     section glow, confirming selection. 
Step 2: 
a. Press PHASE/NEXT for the desired phase. 
 
 
5.3: Accessing %THD Functions 
 
Harmonic Measurement readings are available on the EPM 5300P meter. The EPM 5300P displays 6 
parameters of total harmonic distortion. It measures harmonic waveforms and %THD for voltage phases 
A-N, B-N and C-N, and current phases A, B and C.  Measurement capability reaches the 31
st
 harmonic 
order. All readings are faceplate accessible.
