time. The result of the calculation is displayed as energy saved (1-4-1-4) in kilowatt
hours. The Energy Savings Meter parameter (3-9-5-1) can be used to choose between
two calculation methods:
▪ Method with constant reference power
▪ Method with variable reference power

The method with constant reference power requires specification of the power in
kW. This is the average effective power of the running pump set for operation
without a frequency inverter. The specification is made using the Fixed Reference
Power parameter (3-9-5-2).
