Calibration with Three Measurements
The simplest calibration method is to make three measurements. Typically, a voltage measurement and two Watt-hour (Wh)
measurements are made.
If the voltage measurement has the error EV and the two Wh measurements have errors E0 and E60, where E0 is measured
with φL = 0 and E60 is measured with φL = 60. These values should be simple ratios—not percentage values. They should be
zero when the meter is accurate and negative when the meter runs slow. The fundamental frequency is f0. T is equal to 1/fS,
where fS is the sample frequency (2520.62Hz). Set all calibration factors to nominal: CAL_IA = 16384, CAL_VA = 16384,
PHADJ_A = 0.
From the voltage measurement, we determine that
1. AXV = EV +1
We use the other two measurements to determine φS and AXI.

E60 = E0 + (E0 +1) tan(60) tan(φS )
E60 − E0

tan(φS ) =

E60 − E0
(E0 +1) tan(60)

Now that we know the AXV, AXI, and φS errors, we calculate the new calibration voltage gain coefficient from the previous ones:
