FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What will be the 1mA current measurement accuracy of direct current inputs?
2. I often test energy meters on very distorted power network. It is possible to find the source of the distortions?
3. Can I use TE30 to test the ratio of MV (15kV) current transformer?
4. Error test of three-phase energy meter goes 33%. What is wrong?
5. We should be done to use the REC functionality (network parameters recording) of the TE30 tester?
6. What are the main differences between the TE30 and TE30 Lite?

1. What will be the 1mA current measurement accuracy of direct current inputs?

The accuracy of the TE30 (class 0.05%) is defined as 0.05% of measurement value in range 10mA...12A and 0.05% of lower range (10mA) for values below 10mA.

It gives: 0.05%*10mA=0.005mA. For 1mA the relative error is: (0.005mA/1mA)*100%=0.5%. So the 1mA is measured with 0.5% of accuracy for TE30 class 0.05%.

2. I often test energy meters on very distorted power network. It is possible to find the source of the distortions?

Yes, it is easy by the unique function of power (P,Q) harmonic measurements.
The sign at the bars of power in spectrum diagram shows source of the distortion.
For the active power harmonics (P): if plus (+) then distortion goes from network to load; if minus (-) then distortion goes from load to network.

See the pictures below. Oscilloscope shows that U and I are highly distorted but only harmonics of power P with many long minus bars means that distortion goes from this customer to power network.

3. Can I use TE30 to test the ratio of MV (15kV) current transformer?

Yes, you can use special High Voltage current clamps up to 2000A at 40kV called AmpLiteWire, connected to the primary side of CT. The secondary side of CT can be connected directly to the TE30 current inputs or by precision 100A clamps to avoid breaking of the secondary current circuit. As the result you will get the ratio and phase shift error of the MV CT.

4. Error test of three-phase energy meter goes 33%. What is wrong?

Approximately 33% or 66% meter error test result means that there is a wiring problem.
At first make sure that TE30 voltage and current inputs are connected correctly to network/meter. Then use a Vector Graph measurements to find the problem. Probably one phase in your meter is disconnected/shorted or rotated.
Typical Vector Diagram shows picture below.

5. What should be done to use the REC functionality (network parameters recording) of the TE30 tester?

To use the REC functionality, user need to purchase a license key that extends the TE30 functionality with the REC function, enabling the measurement, registration and analysis of power quality parameters. The license key generated remotely by the manufacturer and can be uploaded by the user at any time after purchasing the device or by manufacturer when purchasing the TE30. Recorded parameters can be selected individually or automatically in accordance with the requirements of EN 50160.

6. What are the main differences between the TE30 and the TE30 Lite?

The TE30 Portable Three-Phase Workiing Standard and Power Quality Analyzer is manufactured in the 0.1% or 0.05% class, while TE30 Lite Portable Three-Phase Working Standard and Power Quality Analyzer is available in the 0.2% class.

The TE30 Portable Three-Phase Working Standard and Power Quality Analyzer enables direct current measurement up to 12A, while TE30 Lite enables current measurement up to 3000A with clamps only (depending on the selected optional measuring clamps).
