Apparent Power Offset Calibration
Each RMS measurement includes an offset compensation
register to calibrate and eliminate the DC component in the
RMS value -see
Current RMS calculation and Voltage RMS
calculation
. The Voltage and Current RMS values are then
multiplied together in the Apparent Power signal processing.
As no additional offsets are created in the multiplication of
the RMS values, there is no specific offset compensation in
the Apparent Power signal processing. The offset compensa-
tion of the Apparent Power measurement in each phase is
done by calibrating each individual RMS measurements.
TOTAL APPARENT POWER CALCULATION
The sum of the Apparent powers coming from each phase
gives the total Apparent Power consumption. Different com-
binations of the three phases can be selected in the sum by
setting bits 7-6 of the VAMode register (mnemonic
VAMOD[1:0]). Figure 34 demonstrates the calculation of
the total apparent power.

APPARENT POWER CALCULATION
Apparent power is defined as the maximum active power that
can be delivered to a load. As Vrms and Irms are the effective
voltage and current delivered to the load, the Apparent Power
(AP) is defined as V
rms
x I
rms
.
Note that the Apparent power is equal to the multiplication
of the RMS values of the voltage and current inputs. For a
poly-phase system, the RMS values of the current and voltage
inputs of each phase (A, B and C) are multiplied together to
obtain the apparent power information of each phase. The
total apparent power is the sum of the apparent powers of all
the phases. The different solutions available to process the
total apparent power are discussed in the following para-
graph.
Figure 32 illustrates graphically the signal processing in each
phase for the calculation of the Apparent Power in the
ADE7754.

Figure 32 - Apparent Power Signal Processing
The Apparent Power is calculated with the Current and
Voltage RMS values obtained in the RMS blocks of the
(Hexadecimal) output range of the Apparent Power signal for
each phase. Note that the output range changes depending on
the contents of the Apparent Power Gain registers but also on
the contents of the Active Power Gain and Voltage Gain
registers
–
see
Current RMS calculation and Voltage RMS
calculation
. Only the effect of the Apparent Power Gain is
shown on Figure 33. The minimum output range is given
when the Apparent Power Gain register content is equal to
800h and the maximum range is given by writing 7FFh to the
Apparent Power Gain register. This can be used to calibrate
the Apparent Power (or Energy) calculation in the ADE7754
for each phase and also the Total Apparent Energy -see
Total
Apparent Power calculation
