A Low Cost Watt-Hour Energy Meter Based on the ADE7757
by Stephen T. English
INTRODUCTION
This application note describes a high accuracy, low
cost, single-phase power meter based on the ADE7757.
The meter is designed for use in single-phase, 2-wire
distribution systems. The design can be adapted to suit
specific regional requirements, e.g., in the U.S., power is
usually distributed for residential customers as singlephase, 3-wire.
The ADE7757 is a low cost, single - chip solution for
electrical energy measurement. The ADE7757 is a highly
integrated system comprised of two ADCs, a reference
circuit, and a fixed DSP function for the calculation of
real power. A highly stable oscillator is integrated into
the design to provide the necessary clock for the IC. The
ADE7757 includes direct drive capability for electromechanical counters and a high frequency pulse output for
both calibration and system communication.
This application note should be used in conjunction with
the ADE7757 Data Sheet. The data sheet provides detailed
information on the functionality of the ADE7757 and will
be referenced several times in this application note.
DESIGN GOALS
The International Standard IEC 61036 (2000-09), Alternating Current Static Watt-Hour Meters for Active Energy
(Classes 1 and 2), was used as the primary specification
for this design. For readers more familiar with the ANSI
C12.16 specification, see the ANSI C12.16 and IEC 61036
section at the end of this application note for a comparison of the two standards. The section explains the
key IEC 61036 specifications in terms of their ANSI
equivalents.
REV. A
The ADE7757 board design greatly exceeds this basic
specification for many of the accuracy requirements,
e.g., accuracy at unity power factor and at a low power
factor (PF = ±0.5). In addition, the dynamic range performance of the meter has been extended to 400. The
IEC 61036 standard specifies accuracy over a range of
5% Ib to IMAX (see Table I). Typical values for IMAX are
400% to 600% of Ib.

NOTES
1
The current ranges for specified accuracy shown in Table I are expressed
in terms of the basic current (Ib). The basic current is defined in IEC 61036
(2000–09) Section 3.5.1.1 as the value of current in accordance with which
the relevant performance of a direct connection meter is fixed. IMAX is the
maximum current at which accuracy is maintained.
2
Power factor (PF) in Table I relates the phase relationship between the
fundamental voltage (45 Hz to 65 Hz) and current waveforms. PF, in this
case, can be simply defined as PF = cos(), where  is the phase angle
between pure sinusoidal current and voltage.

Class index is defined in IEC 61036 (2000–09) Section 3.5.5, Page 27, as
the limits of the permissible percentage error. The percentage error is
defined as

Figure 1. Single-Phase Watt-Hour Meter Based on the ADE7757
The schematic in Figure 1 shows the implementation of
a simple, low cost, watt-hour meter using the ADE7757.
A shunt is used to provide the current-to-voltage conversion needed by the ADE7757 and a simple divider
network attenuates the line voltage. The energy register
(kWh) is a simple electromechanical counter that uses
a 2-phase stepper motor. The ADE7757 provides direct
drive capability for this type of counter. The ADE7757
also provides a high frequency output at the CF pin for
a selected meter constant of 1600 imp/kWh. Thus, a
high frequency output is available at the LED and optoisolator output. This high frequency output is used to
speed up the calibration process and provides a means
of quickly verifying meter functionality and accuracy in
a production environment. The meter is calibrated by
varying the line voltage attenuation using the series
resistor network, R5 to R16. Figure 1 illustrates these
resistors as a potentiometer.
DESIGN EQUATIONS
The ADE7757 produces an output frequency that is proportional to the time average value of the product of two
voltage signals. The input voltage signals are applied at
V1 and V2. The detailed functionality of the ADE7757
is explained in the Theory of Operation section of the
ADE7757 Data Sheet. The ADE7757 Data Sheet also
provides an equation that relates the output frequency
on F1 and F2 (counter drive) to the product of the rms
signal levels at V1 and V2. This equation is shown here
for convenience, and will be used to determine the correct signal scaling at V2 in order to calibrate the meter
to a fixed constant.

AN-679
The meter shown in Figure 1 is designed to operate at
a line voltage of 220 V and a maximum current (IMAX) of
30 A. However, by correctly scaling the signals on
Channel 1 and Channel 2, a meter operating at any line
voltage and maximum current could be designed.
ADE7757 Reference
The on-chip reference circuit of the ADE7757 has a temperature coefficient of typically 30 ppm/°C. However,
on A Grade parts, this specification is not guaranteed
and may be as high as 80 ppm/°C. At 80 ppm/°C, the
ADE7757 error at –20°C/+60°C could be as high as 0.65%,
assuming a calibration at +25°C. An optional external
reference can be used by connecting it to the REFIN/OUT
pin for improved accuracy.
The four frequency options available on the ADE7757
will allow similar meters (i.e., direct counter drive) with
an IMAX of up to 120 A to be designed. The basic current
(Ib) for this meter is selected as 5 A and the current range
for accuracy will be 2% of Ib to IMAX, or a dynamic range
of 400:1 (75 mA to 30 A).
Shunt Selection
The shunt size (350 ) is selected to maximize the use
of the dynamic range on Channel V1 (current channel).
However, there are some important considerations when
selecting a shunt for an energy metering application.
First, minimize the power dissipation in the shunt. The
maximum rated current for this design is 30 A; therefore,
the maximum power dissipated in the shunt is 30 A 2 
350  = 315 mW. IEC 61036 calls for a maximum power
dissipation of 4.0 VA* in the current circuit. Second, the
higher power dissipation may make it difficult to manage
the thermal issues. Although the shunt is manufactured
from Manganin material, an alloy with a low temperature
coefficient of resistance, high temperatures may cause
significant error at heavy loads.
The electromechanical register (kWh) will have a
constant of 100 imp/kWh, i.e., 100 impulses from the
ADE7757 will be required to register 1 kWh. IEC 61036
Section 4.2.11 specifies that electromagnetic registers
have their lowest values numbered in 10 divisions, each
division being subdivided into 10 parts. Therefore, a
display with five plus one digits is used, i.e., 10,000s,
1,000s, 100s, 10s, 1s, and 1/10s. The meter constant (for
calibration and test) is selected as 1600 imp/kWh.
A third consideration is the ability of the meter to
resist attempts to tamper by shorting the phase circuit.
With a very low value of shunt resistance, the effects of
externally shorting the shunt are very much minimized.
Therefore, the shunt should always be made as small as
possible, but this must be offset against the signal range
on V1 (0 mV–20 mV rms). If the shunt is made too small,
it will not be possible to meet the IEC 61036 accuracy
requirements at light loads. A shunt value of 350  was
considered a good compromise for this design.
Design Calculations
The design parameters are as follows:

To select the F1– 4 frequency for Equation 1, see the
Selecting a Frequency for an Energy Meter Application
section in the ADE7757 Data Sheet. From Tables IV and
V in the data sheet, it can be seen that the best choice
of F1–4 frequency for a meter with IMAX = 30 A is 3.44 Hz
(F2). This frequency selection is made by logic inputs
S0 and S1 (see Table II in the ADE7757 Data Sheet). The
CF frequency (meter constant) is selected by using the
logic input SCF. The two available options are 16  F1
(1600 imp/kWh) or 32  F1 (3200 imp/kWh). For this
design, 1600 imp/kWh is selected by setting SCF logic
low. With a meter constant of 1600 imp/kWh and a maximum current of 30 A, the maximum frequency from CF is
11.2 Hz. The only remaining unknown from Equation 1 is
V2 or the signal level on Channel 2 (the voltage channel).
The –3 dB cutoff frequency of the network in Figure 3
is determined by R4 and C4. Even with all the jumpers
closed, the resistance of R16 (649 k), R15 (649 k), and
R5 (300 k) is still much greater than R4 (499 ). Hence,
varying the resistance of the resistor chain R6 to R14
has little effect on the –3 dB cutoff frequency of the
network. The network shown in Figure 3 allows the line
voltage to be attenuated and adjusted in the range 57 mV
rms to 68 mV rms with a resolution of 9 bits or 21 V.
This is achieved by using the binary weighted resistor
chain R6 to R14. This allows the meter to be accurately
calibrated using a successive approximation technique.
Starting with J2, each jumper is closed in order of
ascendance, e.g., J2, J3, etc. If the calibration frequency
on CF, 16  100 imp/hr (0.4888 Hz), is exceeded when any
jumper is closed, it should be opened again. All jumpers
are tested, J10 being the last jumper. Note that jumper
connections are made by shorting out two solder pads.
This approach is preferred over the use of trim pots, as the
stability of a trim pot over time and environmental conditions is unreliable.
From Equation 1, solving for V2 gives 61.5 mV rms:
0.0305555 Hz =
515.84 × 1.75mV × V2 × F1–4
2.52
(2)
Therefore, to calibrate the meter with the line voltage,
the input V2 must be attenuated to this value.
Since the ADE7757 transfer function is extremely linear,
a one-point calibration (at Ib) at unity power factor is
all that is needed to calibrate the meter. If the correct
precautions have been taken at the design stage, no calibration will be necessary at low power factor (PF = 0.5).
The next section discusses phase matching for correct
calculation of energy at low power factor.
CALIBRATING THE METER
From the previous section, it can be seen that the meter
is simply calibrated by attenuating the line voltage down
to 61.5 mV. The line voltage attenuation is carried out
by a simple resistor divider, as shown in Figure 3. The
attenuation network should allow a calibration range
of at least ±30% to allow for shunt tolerances and the
on-chip reference tolerance of ±8% (see the ADE7757
Data Sheet). In addition, the topology of the network
is such that the phase matching between Channel 1
and Channel 2 is preserved, even when the attenuation
is being adjusted (see the Correct Phase Matching
between Channels section in this application note).

CORRECT PHASE MATCHING BETWEEN CHANNELS
The ADE7757 is internally phase matched over the frequency range 40 Hz to 1 kHz between the two channels.
Correct phase matching is important in an energy metering application because any phase mismatch between
channels will translate into significant measurement
error at low power factor. This is easily illustrated with
the following example.
Figure 4 shows the voltage and current waveforms for an
inductive load. In the example shown, the current lags
the voltage by 60°(PF = –0.5). Assuming pure sinusoidal
conditions, the power is easily calculated as
V rms × Irms × cos (60°)

Figure 5 illustrates how aliasing effects could introduce
inaccuracies in a meter design based on the ADE7757.
The ADE7757 uses two - ADCs to digitize the voltage
and current signals. These ADCs have a very high sampling rate, i.e., 450 kHz.
If, however, a phase error (e) is introduced externally
to the ADE7757, e.g., in the antialias filters, the error is
calculated as
[cos(δ°) – cos(δ° + φ )] / cos (δ°) × 100%

Figure 5 shows how frequency components (arrows
shown in black) above half the sampling frequency
(also know as the Nyquist frequency), i.e., 450 kHz,
are imaged or folded back down below 225 kHz
(arrows labeled as Image Frequencies). This will
happen with all ADCs no matter what the archi tecture. In the example shown, it can be seen that
only frequencies near the sampling frequency, i.e.,
450 kHz, will move into the band of interest for
metering, i.e., 0 kHz to 2 kHz. This fact will allow users to
use a very simple low-pass filter (LPF) to attenuate these
high frequencies (near 450 kHz) and prevent distortion
in the band of interest.
where  is the phase angle between voltage and current and e is the external phase error (see Note 3 in
Table I). With a phase error of 0.2°, for example, the error at
PF = 0.5 (60°) is calculated to be 0.6%. As this example demonstrates, even a very small phase error will produce a large
measurement error at low power factor.

is a single -pole filter with a rolloff or attenuation of

Choosing the Filter –3 dB Cutoff Frequency
As well as having a magnitude response, all filters
also have a phase response. The magnitude and phase
response of a simple RC filter (R = 499 , C = 68 nF) is
shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7. From Figure 6, it is seen
that the attenuation at 450 kHz for this simple LPF is
approximately 40 dB. This is enough attenuation to
ensure no ill effects due to aliasing.

������������
����������������
�
�������
���
As explained previously, the phase response can introduce significant errors if the phase response of the
LPFs on Channel 1 and Channel 2 is not matched.
Phase mismatch can easily occur due to poor component tolerances in the LPF. The lower the cutoff
frequency in the LPF (antialias filter), the more pro nounced these errors will be. Even with the corner
frequency set at 4.7 kHz (R = 499 , C = 68 nF), the
phase errors due to poor component tolerances can be
significant.
Figure 4. Voltage and Current (Inductive Load)
ANTIALIAS FILTERS
As mentioned previously, the antialias filters on Channel 1 and Channel 2 are one possible source of external
phase errors. The antialias filters are low-pass filters
that are placed before the analog inputs of any ADC.
They are required to prevent a possible distortion due to
sampling called aliasing. Figure 5 illustrates the effects
of aliasing.

Note that this is also why precautions were taken with the
design of the calibration network on Channel 2 (voltage
channel). Calibrating the meter by varying the resistance
of the attenuation network will not vary the cutoff frequency and, thus, the phase response of the network on
Channel 2 (see the Calibrating the Meter section in this
application note). Figure 9 shows a plot of the phase lag
at 50 Hz when the resistance of the calibration network
is varied from 1.6 M (J2 to J10 closed) to 1.9 M (J2 to
J10 open). Note that the variation in phase is less than
0.1 millidegrees.

The phase response for the simple LPF is shown at 50 Hz
for R = 499  ± 10%, C = 68 nF ± 10% (see Figure 8). The low
pass filter for the current signal uses 1.54 k and 22 F for
the same corner frequency of the voltage channel AAF.
Remember that a phase shift of 0.2° can cause measurement errors of 0.6% at low power factor. This design uses
resistors of 1% tolerance and capacitors of 10% tolerance
for the antialias filters to reduce the possible problems
due to phase mismatch. Alternatively, the corner
frequency of the antialias filter could be pushed out to
10 kHz to 15 Hz. However, the frequency should not
be made too high as this could allow enough high
frequency components to be aliased and therefore cause
accuracy problems in a noisy environment.

Oscillator Stability
The integrated oscillator circuitry is designed to be
stable over temperature and power supply variation.
The initial oscillator frequency is determined by the
value of the voltage reference and the RCLKIN resistor. Variation in reference drift is rejected by the unique
architecture of the oscillator circuitry. A variation of the
RCLKIN resistor value will cause a shift in the oscillator
frequency; therefore, a low temperature coefficient resistor is recommended.
POWER SUPPLY DESIGN
This design uses a simple low cost power supply based
on a capacitor divider network, i.e., C17 and C18. Most of
the line voltage is dropped across C17, a 0.47 F, 630 V
metalized polyester film capacitor. The impedance of C17
dictates the effective VA rating of the supply. However,
the size of C17 is constrained by the power consumption
specification in IEC 61036. The total power consumption
in the voltage circuit, including power supply, is specified in Section 4.4.1.1 of IEC 61036 (2000–9), Table 7: “The
total power consumption in each phase is 2 W and 10 VA
under nominal conditions.” The nominal VA rating of the
supply in this design is 8 VA. The total power dissipation is approximately 0.5 W. Together with the power
dissipated in the shunt at 30 A load, the total power
consumption of the meter is 1 W. Figure 10 shows the
basic power supply design.

The plots shown in Figures 11, 12, and 13 show the

biggest load on the power supply is the current
required to drive the stepper motor, which has a coil
impedance of about 400 . Figure 11 shows the power
supply line current to be 40 mA rms. The voltage
across C18 is shown in Figure 12. Note the spikes in the
waveform that are caused by the stepper motor when it
switches. Figure 13 shows the current drawn from the

circuitry, while the longer spikes are caused by the CF
LED when it pulses. Refer to Figure 10 when reviewing

1206 resistors were used in the antialias filters. Ferrite
beads can also be effective when placed in series with
the connection to the shunt. A ferrite choke is particularly
effective at slowing the fast rise time of an ESD current
pulse. The high frequency transient energy is absorbed in
the ferrite material rather than being diverted or reflected to another part of the system. The PSU circuit is also
directly connected to the terminals of the meter. Here,
the discharge will be dissipated by the ferrite, the input
capacitor (C17), and the rectification diodes D2 and D3.
The analog input V2P is protected by the large impedance of the attenuation network used for calibration.
DESIGN FOR IMMUNITY TO ELECTROMAGNETIC
DISTURBANCE
In Section 4.5 of IEC 61036, it is stated that “the meter
shall be designed in such a way that conducted or radiated electromagnetic disturbances as well as electrostatic
discharge do not damage nor substantially influence the
meter.” The considered disturbances are
•
Electrostatic discharge
•
Electromagnetic HF fields
•
Fast transience burst
•
Power line surge
Another very common low cost technique employed to
arrest ESD events is to use a spark gap on the component side of the PCB (see Figure 14). However, since the
meter will likely operate in an open air environment and
be subject to many discharges, this is not recommended
at sensitive nodes like the shunt connection. Multiple
discharges could cause carbon buildup across the spark
gap, which could cause a short or introduce an impedance that will in time affect accuracy. A spark gap was
introduced in the PSU after the MOV to take care of any
very high amplitude/fast rise time discharges.
All of the precautions and design techniques (e.g., ferrite beads, capacitor line filters, physically large SMD
resistors, PCB layout including grounding) contribute
to a certain extent to protecting the meter electronics
from each form of electromagnetic disturbance. Some
precautions (e.g., ferrite beads), however, play a more
important role in the presence of certain kinds of disturbances (e.g., RF and fast transience burst). The following
sections discuss the disturbances listed above and what
protection has been put in place.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Although many sensitive electronic components contain
a certain amount of ESD protection on-chip, it is not
possible to protect against the kind of severe discharge
described below. Another problem is that the effect of
an ESD discharge is cumulative, i.e., a device may survive an ESD discharge, but it is no guarantee that it will
survive multiple discharges at some stage in the future.
The best approach is to eliminate or attenuate the effects
of the ESD event before it comes in contact with sensitive electronic devices. This holds true for all conducted
electromagnetic disturbances.

Testing was carried out according to IEC 61000 - 4 -3.
Susceptibility of integrated circuits to RF tends to be
more pronounced in the 20 MHz to 200 MHz region. Frequencies higher than this tend to be shunted away from
sensitive devices by parasitic capacitances. In general,
at the IC level, the effects of RF in the 20 MHz to 200 MHz
region tend to be broadband in nature, i.e., no individual
frequency is more troublesome than another. However,
there may be higher sensitivity to certain frequencies
due to resonances on the PCB. These resonances could
cause insertion gain at certain frequencies, which, in
turn, could cause problems for sensitive devices. By far
the greatest RF signal levels are those coupled into the
system via cabling. These connection points should be
protected. Some techniques for protecting the system
are to
Very often, no additional components are necessary to
protect devices. With a little care, those components
already required in the circuit can perform a dual role.
For example, the meter must be protected from ESD
events at those points where it comes in contact with
the outside world, e.g., the connection to the shunt. Here,
the ADE7757 is connected to the shunt via two LPFs
(antialias filters), which are required by the ADC (see
Antialias Filters section in this application note). This RC
filter can also be enough to protect against ESD damage
to CMOS devices. However, some care must be taken
with the type of components used. For example, the
resistors should not be wire-wound because the discharge will simply travel across them. The resistors
should also be physically large to stop the discharge
from arcing across the resistor. In this design, 1/8W SMD

Minimizing Bandwidth
In this application, the required analog bandwidth is
only 2 kHz. This is a significant advantage when trying
to reduce the effects of RF. The cable entry points can
be low-pass filtered to reduce the amount of RF radiation entering the system. The shunt output is already
filtered before being connected to the ADE7757. This
is to prevent aliasing effects that were described earlier.
By choosing the correct components and adding some
additional components (e.g., ferrite beads), these antialias
filters can double as very effective RF filters. Figure 6 shows
a somewhat idealized frequency response for the antialias
filters on the analog inputs. When considering higher
frequencies (e.g., >1 MHz), the parasitic reactive elements of each lumped component must be considered.
Figure 15 shows the antialias filters with the para sitic elements included. These small values of parasitic
capacitance and inductance become significant at higher
frequencies and, therefore, must be considered.

ELECTRICAL FAST TRANSIENCE (EFT) BURST TESTING
This testing determines the immunity of a system to conducted transients. Testing is carried out in accordance
with IEC 61000- 4- 4 under well-defined conditions. The
EFT pulse can be particularly difficult to guard against
because the disturbance is conducted into the system
via external connections, e.g., power lines. Figure 16
shows the physical properties of the EFT pulse used in
IEC 61000-4-4. Perhaps the most debilitating attribute of
the pulse is not its amplitude (which can be as high as
4 kV), but the high frequency content due to the fast rise
times involved. Fast rise times mean high frequency content, which allows the pulse to couple to other parts of
the system through stray capacitance, for example. Large
differential signals can be generated by the inductance
of PCB traces and signal ground. These large differential signals could interrupt the operation of sensitive
electronic components. Digital systems are generally
most at risk because of data corruption. Minimizing trace
lengths and use of ground planes reduces the susceptibility to these high frequency pulses.
���
���
�����
��
Analog electronic systems tend to be affected only for
the duration of the disturbance. As the bandwidth of the
analog sections tends to be limited, the effect of an EFT
event is reduced.

Parasitics can be kept at a minimum by using physically
small components with short lead lengths (i.e., surface
mount). Because the exact source impedance conditions
are not known (this will depend on the source impedance of the electricity supply), some general precautions
should be taken to minimize the effects of potential
resonances. These resonances include the resonance
of capacitors as well as parasitic components in the
layout. Resonances that result from the interaction of
the source impedance and filter networks could cause
insertion gain effects and so increase the exposure of the
system to RF radiation at certain (resonant) frequencies.
Figure 15 illustrates the lossy parasitics of a capacitor, as
seen in C1 and C2. As much as 0.8 nH can cause a zero in
the antialias filter response at frequencies on the order
of 100 MHz. Adding a series inductance to the inputs
will further reduce the susceptibility to high frequency
signals from either EFT, surge, or ESD events. Ferrite
beads added in series with the antialias filter will perform quite well in this respect.

Figure 16. Single EFT Pulse Characteristics
Another possible issue with conducted EFT is that
the effects of the radiation will, like ESD, generally be
cumulative for electronic components. The energy in an
EFT pulse can be as high as 4 mJ and deliver 40 A into a
50  load (see Figure 19). Therefore, continued exposure
to EFT due to, for example, inductive load switching, may
have implications for the long-term reliability of components. The best approach is to protect those parts of the
system that could be sensitive to EFT.

AN-679
The protection techniques described in the Electromagnetic HF Fields section also apply equally well in the
case of EFT. The electronics should be isolated as much
as possible from the source of the disturbance through
PCB layout (i.e., moating) and filtering signal and power
connections. In addition, the input capacitor to the power
supply provides a low impedance shunt to an EFT pulse.
A Zener completes the low impedance path to ground
for the EFT pulse.
The plot in Figure 17 shows how the MOV voltage and
current can be estimated for a given overvoltage and
source impedance. A load line (open- circuit voltage,
short-circuit current) is plotted on the same graph as the
MOV characteristic curve. Where the curves intersect,
the MOV clamping voltage and current can be read. Note
that care must be taken when determining the shortcircuit current. The frequency content of the overvoltage
must be taken into account because the source impedance (e.g., mains) may vary considerably with frequency.
A typical impedance of 50  is used for mains source
impedance during fast transience (high frequency) pulse
testing. The next sections discuss IEC 61000 - 4 - 4 and
IEC 61000 - 4 -5, which are transience and overvoltage
EMC compliance tests.
A varistor or metal oxide varistor (MOV) can be used
to add protection. This device acts as a nonlinear
voltage-dependent resistor. See the following section
for a description of this device.
Care should be taken to minimize trace lengths in the
power supply to reduce the effect of parasitic trace
inductance. Stray inductance due to leads and PCB
traces will mean that the MOV will not be as effective in
attenuating the differential EFT pulse. The MOV is very
effective in attenuating high energy, relatively long duration disturbances, e.g., due to lightning strikes.
IEC 61000-4-4 and the S20K275
While the graphical technique just described is useful,
an even better approach is to use simulation to obtain a
better understanding of MOV operation. EPCOS components provide PSPICE models for all their MOVs; these
are very useful in determining device operation under the
various IEC EMC compliance tests. For more information
about EPCOS, PSPICE models, and their applications, see
www.epcos.com.
MOV TYPE S20K275
The MOV used in this design was of type S20K275 from
Siemens. An MOV is a voltage - dependent resistor
whose resistance decreases with increasing voltage.
They are typically connected in parallel with the device
or circuit being protected. During an overvoltage event,
they form a low resistance shunt and thus prevent any
further rise in the voltage across the circuit being protected. The overvoltage is essentially dropped across the
source impedance of the overvoltage source, e.g., the
mains network source impedance. Figure 17 illustrates
the principle of operation.

Derating the MOV Surge Current
The maximum surge current (and, therefore, energy
absorbed) that an MOV can handle is dependent on the
number of times the MOV will be exposed to surges over
its lifetime. The life of an MOV is shortened every time
it is exposed to a surge event. The data sheet for an
MOV device will list the maximum nonrepetitive surge
current for an 8 s/20 s current pulse. If the current
pulse is of longer duration, and if it occurs more than
once during the life of the device, this maximum current
must be derated. Figure 25 shows the derating curve
for the S20K275. Assuming exposures of 30 s duration
and a peak current as shown in Figure 24, the maximum
number of surges the MOV can handle before it goes out
of specification is about 10. After repeated loading (10
times in the case just described), the MOV voltage will
change. After initially increasing, it will rapidly decay.

output impedance of 2 . This is defined as the ratio of

To ensure accuracy over a wide dynamic range, the data
acquisition portion of the PCB should be kept as quiet as
possible, i.e., minimal electrical noise. Noise will cause
inaccuracies in the analog-to-digital conversion process
that takes place in the ADE7757. One common source of
noise in any mixed-signal system is the ground return
for the power supply. Here, high frequency noise (from
fast edge rise times) can be coupled into the analog
portion of the PCB by the common impedance of the
ground return path. Figure 26 illustrates the mechanism.
EMC Test Results
The reference design has been tested for EMC at an
independent test house. To ensure the design meets
the IEC specifications, the meter was subject to limits
far above the IEC specifications. Testing was carried
out by Entela Design & Test Services, Inc., Littleton,
MA 01460, USA. The reference design was evaluated
for radiated susceptibility (EN 61000-4-3:1998) pursuant
to IEC 61036:2000-9 requirements. A copy of the certifi cation issued for the design is shown in the Test Results
section of this application note.
One common technique to overcome these kinds of
problems is to use separate analog and digital return
paths for the supply. Every effort should be made to
keep the impedance of these return paths as low as
possible. A circuit board can have trace inductance on
the order of 33 nH/in., which can increase the sensitivity
to high frequency signals. As can be seen in Figure 26,
a common path for the ground currents can couple
between the digital and analog sections of the meter.
Decoupling signals to a narrow ground trace can, in
effect, couple unwanted noise to other parts of the
circuit. In the PCB design for the ADE7757, a ground
plane was used to minimize the impedance of these
return paths. High frequency noise sources from the
digital circuit were decoupled as close to the ADE7757 as
possible with high frequency ceramic capacitors. Large
capacitors, such as an aluminum electrolytic, will not
work since they have a typical residual series inductance
of 6.8 nF, which tends to reduce the decoupling effect of
the capacitor at high frequencies.
PCB DESIGN
Both susceptibility to conducted or radiated electromagnetic disturbances and analog performance were
considered at the PCB design stage. Fortunately, many
of the design techniques used to enhance analog and
mixed-signal performance also lend themselves well to
improving the EMI robustness of the design. The key
idea is to isolate that part of the circuit that is sensitive to noise and electromagnetic disturbances. Since
the ADE7757 carries out all the data conversion and
signal processing, the robustness of the meter will be
determined to a large extent by how well protected the
ADE7757 is.
Layout for maximizing surge immunity is critical.
Distances between traces and various components on
the board can affect the overall performance for high
voltage immunity. The material used in this application
is proprog with a dielectric strength of 1000 V/mil. The
spacing between high voltage traces is a minimum of
20 mils for a breakdown of 20 kV through the insulator.
Additional precautions include spacing between various
components. The air gap between components has a
dielectric strength of 75 V/mil, far less than the proprog.
For this reason, any exposed leads or components
should be spaced 100 mils apart for a breakdown voltage of 7500 V. Placing components too close together
can cause a breakdown between components. During
manufacturing, additional steps should be taken to
ensure the circuit board is cleaned of impurities. This
minimizes any resistive paths that may cause a leakage
path during a high voltage event.

A second source of noise is the ground return current
path of the capacitor-based power supply. To minimize
this effect, the power supply ground current is isolated
from the ADE7757 ground current(s). This minimizes
signals for the line voltage from affecting the performance of the ADE7757. The solid ground planes and the
signal partitioning to those planes tend to isolate the
ground currents. Figure 27 shows the return paths for
the two ground currents on the board.
To ensure high performance of the meter, the layout
must ensure signal integrity through the signal paths.
Short leads, surface mount components, and ground
traces between signals improve the isolation of various
signals on the board and its overall performance.

The power supply portion of the PCB is the only place
where both phase and neutral wires are connected.
Since the PSU is capacitor-based, a substantial current
(approximately 32 mA at 220 V) will flow in the ground
return back to the phase wire (system ground). This
portion of the PCB contains the transience suppression
circuitry (e.g., MOV, ferrite) and power supply circuitry.
The length of the path for the power supply return
current is kept to a minimum to isolate it from the analog
circuitry.

handle for rated accuracy. The given classes are: 10,
20, 100, 200, and 320. These correspond to a maximum

The ADE7757 and sensitive signal paths are located in
a quiet part of the board that is isolated from the noisy
elements of the design such as the power supply and
flashing LED. This is shown in Figure 27. The ground currents from the power supply are at the same frequency
as the signals being measured and could cause accuracy
issues (e.g., crosstalk between the PSU as analog inputs)
if care is not taken with the routing of the return current.
Also, part of the attenuation network for Channel 2 (the
voltage channel) is in the power supply portion of the
PCB. This helps to eliminate possible crosstalk to Channel 1 by ensuring that analog signal amplitudes are kept
as low as possible in the analog (quiet) portion of the
PCB. Remember that with a shunt size of 350 , the voltage signal range on Channel 1 is 35 

Ibasic (Ib)-IEC 61036
The basic current (Ib) is a value of current with which
the operating range of the meter is defined. IEC 61036
defines the accuracy class of a meter over a specific
dynamic range, e.g., 0.05 Ib < I < IMAX. It is also used
as the test load when specifying the maximum permissible effect of influencing factors, e.g., voltage variation
and frequency variation. The closest equivalent in ANSI
C12.16 is the test current. The test current for each meter
class (maximum current) is as follows:
Class 10:
2.5 A
Class 20:
2.5 A
IMAX IEC 61036
IMAX is the maximum current for which the meter meets
rated accuracy. This would correspond to the meter class
under ANSI C12.16. For example, a meter with an IMAX
of 20 A under IEC 61036 would be designated Class 20
under ANSI C12.16.
NO LOAD THRESHOLD
The ADE7757 has on-chip anticreep functionality. The
ADE7757 will not produce a pulse on CF, F1, or F2 if the
output frequency falls below a certain level. This feature
ensures that the energy meter will not register energy
when no load is connected. IEC 61036 (2000-09) Section
4.6.4 specifies the start-up current as being not more
than 0.4% Ib at PF = 1. For this design, the start-up current is calculated at 3.8 mA or 0.076% Ib (see the No Load
Threshold section in the ADE7757 Data Sheet).
