ADE7880

Neutral Current Mismatch

In 3-phase systems, the neutral current is equal to the algebraic

sum of the phase currents

IN(t) = IA(t) + IB(t) + IC(t)

If there is a mismatch between these two quantities, then a

tamper situation may have occurred in the system.

The ADE7880 computes the sum of the phase currents adding

the content of the IAWV, IBWV, and ICWV registers, and

storing the result into the ISUM 28-bit signed register: ISUM(t) =

IA(t) + IB(t) + IC(t). ISUM is computed every 125 μs (8 kHz

frequency), the rate at which the current samples are available,

and Bit 17 (DREADY) in the STATUS0 register is used to signal

when the ISUM register can be read. See the Digital Signal

Processor section for more details on Bit DREADY.

To recover ISUM(t) value from the ISUM register, use the

following equation:

ISUM (t)

=

ISUM[27:0] ×

ADCMAX

I FS

where:

ADCMAX = 5,928,256, the ADC output when the input is at full

scale.

IFS is the full-scale ADC phase current.

Note that the ADE7880 also computes the rms of ISUM and

stores it into NIRMS register when Bit 2 (INSEL) in CONFIG3

register is set to 1 (see Current RMS Calculation section for

details).

The ADE7880 computes the difference between the absolute

values of ISUM and the neutral current from the INWV

register, take its absolute value and compare it against the

ISUMLVL threshold.

If

ISUM − INWV ≤ ISUMLVL ,

then it is assumed that the neutral current is equal to the sum

of the phase currents, and the system functions correctly.

If

ISUM − INWV > ISUMLVL ,

then a tamper situation may have occurred, and Bit 20

(MISMTCH) in the STATUS1 register is set to 1. An interrupt

attached to the flag can be enabled by setting Bit 20

(MISMTCH) in the MASK1 register. If enabled, the IRQ1 pin is

set low when Status Bit MISMTCH is set to 1. The status bit is

cleared and the IRQ1 pin is set back to high by writing to the

STATUS1 register with Bit 20 (MISMTCH) set to 1.

If ISUM − INWV ≤ ISUMLVL , then MISMTCH = 0

If ISUM − INWV > ISUMLVL , then MISMTCH = 1

Data Sheet

ISUMLVL, the positive threshold used in the process, is a 24-bit

signed register. Because it is used in a comparison with an

absolute value, always set ISUMLVL as a positive number,

somewhere between 0x00000 and 0x7FFFFF. ISUMLVL uses

the same scale of the current ADCs outputs, so writing

+5,326,737 (0x514791) to the ISUMLVL register puts the

mismatch detection level at full scale; see the Current Channel

ADC section for details. Writing 0x000000, the default value, or

a negative value, signifies the MISMTCH event is always triggered.

The right value for the application should be written into the

ISUMLVL register after power-up or after a hardware/software

reset to avoid continuously triggering MISMTCH events.

As stated in the Current Waveform Gain Registers section, the

serial ports of the ADE7880 work on 32-, 16-, or 8-bit words

and the DSP works on 28 bits. As presented in Figure 61, ISUM,

the 28-bit signed register, is accessed as a 32-bit register with the

four most significant bits padded with 0s.

Similar to the registers presented in Figure 43, the ISUMLVL

register is accessed as a 32-bit register with four most significant

bits padded with 0s and sign extended to 28 bits.

PHASE COMPENSATION

As described in the Current Channel ADC and Voltage Channel

ADC sections, the data path for both current and voltages is the

same. The phase error between current and voltage signals

introduced by the ADE7880 is negligible. However, the ADE7880

must work with transducers that may have inherent phase

errors. For example, a current transformer (CT) with a phase

error of 0.1° to 3° is not uncommon. These phase errors can

vary from part to part, and they must be corrected to perform

accurate power calculations.

The errors associated with phase mismatch are particularly

noticeable at low power factors. The ADE7880 provides a

means of digitally calibrating these small phase errors. The

ADE7880 allows a small time delay or time advance to be

introduced into the signal processing chain to compensate for

the small phase errors.

The phase calibration registers (APHCAL, BPHCAL, and

CPHCAL) are 10-bit registers that can vary the time advance

in the voltage channel signal path from −374.0 μs to +61.5 μs.

Negative values written to the PHCAL registers represent a time

advance whereas positive values represent a time delay. One LSB

is equivalent to 0.976 μs of time delay or time advance (clock

rate of 1.024 MHz). With a line frequency of 60 Hz, this gives

a phase resolution of 0.0211° (360° × 60 Hz/1.024 MHz) at the

fundamental. This corresponds to a total correction range of

−8.079° to +1.329° at 60 Hz. At 50 Hz, the correction range is
