Definitions

  • This invention relates to an instantaneous multiplier for use in power measurement systems such as solid state electricity meters.
  • Solid state electricity meters generally require a four quadrant multiplier to compute the actual power waveform with varying voltage, current and power factor of the load. This is generally achieved using a four quadrant multiplier based upon the variable transconductance principle. Unfortunately such four quadrant multipliers suffer from drift problems and linearity errors.

  • the multiplier will use an analogue to digital convertor connected to the input of a digitally programmable resistor network as the resistance network to vary the resistance within the amplifier circuit.
  • the analogue to digital convertor will preferably incorporate a further digitally programmable resistance network whose output is compared continuously with the rectified voltage level and is modified to track that voltage.
  • Figure 2 is a block diagram of the full instantaneous multiplier circuit; and Figure 3 is a similar block diagram of an alternative form of multiplier circuit.
  • a full wave rectified voltage waveform is applied to a non-inverting input of a comparator 2. If the rectified signal input is lower than the other input then the comparator output will be a '0' and the output of a de ⁇ glitching clocked latch 3 will be a 'O 1 also. This causes
  • the inverting operational amplifier 5 then produces an output which is applied to the inverting input of the comparator 2.
  • This sequence of events will continue until the voltage at the inverting input of the comparator 2 is more negative than at the non-inverting input, causing the comparator 2 to change state at its output, which is propagated through the latch 3, causing the counter 4 to count down.
  • the current flowing into the summing junction of the operational amplifier 5 will thus decrease causing the voltage at the inverting input of the comparator 2 to fall, which may produce a change of state of the comparator 2.
  • the overall action is that the voltage at the inverting input of the comparator 2 will closely track the voltage at the non-inverting input.
  • the oscillator 8 always produces a count up or count down in the counter 4, and an invertor 9 ensures that the count up or down occurs at a defined time after the previous count, to overcome oscillation at the output of the comparator 2 due to the two inputs being at similar potentials.

Abstract

Une tension instantanée de courant alternatif v est appliquée à un redresseur pleine onde (10) et à un détecteur de phases (11). La sortie du redresseur pleine onde est appliquée à un convertisseur analogique/numérique (1) et la sortie de celui-ci est appliquée à un réseau à résistances binaires numériquement programmable (12), par exemple un réseau R-2R. Un signal de tension qui représente le courant c.a. instantané i est appliqué au réseau de résistances binaires numériquement programmable (12). Par conséquent, la sortie de l'amplificateur (13) sera la résultante du courant instantané multiplié par la valeur redressée de la tension appliquée, puisque la résistance d'entrée à l'amplificateur (13) est modifiée en fonction de la valeur de la tension appliquée. La phase de la tension appliquée est déterminée par un détecteur de phases (11) qui actionne un commutateur analogique (14), de sorte que la sortie de l'amplificateur (13) est inversée par un amplificateur (15) pour des excursions négatives de la tension instantanée v. Par conséquent, la sortie d'un amplificateur de totalisation (16) sera une représentation vraie de l'énergie instantanée.
