71M6511 Calibration of a Single Phase Meter with Shunt and CT
Single-phase residential meters use a shunt resistor combined with a current transformer (CT) in order to enable
tamper-detection. This application note describes the calibration procedure and the method to compute billing
values for single phase metering.
The second part of this application note describes common methods of tampering and ways to detect tampering.

6511 Calibration for Shunt and CT
Definitions and Procedure:
1. Set the meter equation field of the configuration RAM for EQU to zero using the command:
RI00 = 10 // EQU = 0; CE_EN =1; TMUX = 0;
2. The shunt resistor is connected to Phase 0 (channel A), and the CT is connected to Phase 1 (channel B).
The calibration procedure described in next section is applicable to this sensor arrangement. But one can
easily modify this procedure to the desired CT/Shunt combinations.
3. For the sake of calculation, individual WRATE parameters for Pulse generation, i.e. WRATE_SHUNT and
WRATE_CT will be used.
4. It is also necessary to compute and estimate IMAX_SHUNT and IMAX_CT parameters for meter billing
purposes.
5. Using IMAX_SHUNT and VMAX, the energy calculations for channel A should be performed.
6. Using IMAX_CT and VMAX, the energy calculations for channel B should be performed.
7. The LSB values for measurements for W0SUM / W1SUM/ VAR0SUM/ VAR1SUM/ I0SQSUM/ I1SQSUM/
V0SQSUM should be modified to compute the correct energy values. That is, IMAX_SHUNT and
IMAX_CT should be applied separately to individual channels based on the sensor connections.
8. Before starting a calibration it should be ensured that all coefficients are in their default state, i.e. CAL_IA
(0x08), CAL_VA (0x09), CAL_IB (0x0a) must be 16384. PHADJ_A (0x0e) and PHADJ_B (0x0f) should be
zero.
* (0x0p) represents the CE register address.

Calibrating for Shunt Resistor (Channel A):
1. Estimate IMAX for the shunt resistor (IMAX_SHUNT). This can be done by using the following formula:
IMAX_SHUNT = ViMAX/RSHUNT
---This adjusted IMAX value is stored as IMAX_SHUNT at the MPU address location that can be updated
using the command )A= IMAX_SHUNT of the Demo Code supplied by TERIDIAN.
---The ViMAX value is the maximum analog input voltage for the channel, typically 176mV (RMS).
2. Apply VMAX = 600V (RMS) for the 6511 Demo Board if the resistor divider for VA has not been changed.
3. WRATE_SHUNT is computed based on IMAX_SHUNT and VMAX.
4. Update the CE WRATE register (0x2D) with WRATE_SHUNT.
5. Test for accuracy at 15A, 240V at phase angle 0, phase angle 60 and at phase angle –60 degrees.
6. Apply the error values to the supplied spreadsheet (revision 2.0 or later) and determine the calibration
coefficients for channel A, i.e. CAL_IA, CAL_VA, and PHADJ_A.
7. Update the CE registers 0x08, 0x09 and 0x0E of the compute engine with the calibration coefficients
obtained from the spreadsheet, using the commands ]8=CAL_IA, ]9=CALVA, and ]E=PHADJ_A.
8. Retest for accuracy at several currents and phase angles.

Calibration for CT (Channel B):
1. Assign/compute IMAX for the CT channel (IMAX_CT), based on the CT turns ratio N and the termination
resistor value RTermination using the formula:
IMAX_CT = 176mV* N/ (RTermination)
This IMAX value is stored as IMAX_CT.
2. Compute WRATE_CT based on the IMAX_CT and VMAX.
3. Update the CE WRATE variable with WRATE_CT.
4. Enter the command
>)7=2; Configure W1SUM as external pulse source since the CT is connected to
Channel 1 for VA*IB.
5. Test for accuracy at 15A, 240V at phase angle 0, phase angle 60 and at phase angle –60.
6. Apply these values to the supplied spreadsheet (revision 2.0 or later) and derive the calibration
coefficients for PHADJ_B.
7. Update only the field ]f of the CE registers with the value for PHADJ_B.
8. CAL_IB should be adjusted for the total error found in the tests using the formula
CAL_IB = 16384 * (1 - error/100)
since CAL_IA and CAL_VA are already fixed by the sensor used on Phase A. That is, if the chip reports
an error of -2.5%, CAL_IB should be adjusted for a value of (16384 * (1 - (-2.5/100)).
9. Since CAL_VA is already adjusted, this register should not be updated.
10. Retest for accuracy at several currents and phase angles.

Tamper Detection Using CT and Shunt.
Tampering has become a common practice for reducing electricity consumption in single-phase metering. To
prevent tampering, meter manufacturers opted for solid-state electricity meters. Teridian’s 71M6511/6511H
metering chip provides solutions to the meter manufacturers for tamper detection.
This part of the application note describes the details of tamper detection.
71M6511 is a single phase metering chip with provision for two current sensor inputs and one voltage input.
Under normal operation the meter designed for tamper detection contains two current sensors and one voltage
sensing input through the resistor dividers. The following sensor combinations can be used for tamper detection
using the 71M6511 chip.
Combination
1
2
3
IA_Input
Current_Shunt
Current_Transformer
Current Transformer
IB_Input
Current_Transformer
Current_Shunt
Current Transformer
Please note that the option involving two current shunts is not allowed, since the shorting of live and neutral wires
can occur with this combination. The metering Equation for supporting the above above combination for
tampering should be ‘0’ . That is, the Compute Engine provides two output energy registers W0SUM_X ( VA * IA)
and W1SUM_X (VA * IB) using metering Equation ‘0’ that can be used for tampering. The MPU firmware can
easily be implemented for Tamper detection using the available Energy Registers.
Also please note that the VAR0SUM_X and VAR1SUM_X registers are also available if one wishes to implement
tampering using VARhours.
Under normal operation the single-phase meter can be used for tamper detection with one of the above combination of sensors. Following is a diagram showing a single-phase meter connected as per combination 1 (from
the above table). The meter equations are the same for all combinations provided in the above table.
