Metering SMPS Requirements

Power supply requirements - Input

• Single phase

• From 60 to 180 VAC

• To 265 to 300 VAC

• In short periods of time (6 hours – one week)

• To 440 to 500 VAC

• Preferred single rectifier – for non-isolated SMPS

• Poly phase

• From 60 to 180 VAC

• To 440 to 500 VAC

• Input connection

• Bridge connection – SMPS works even if only 2 wires are connected

• Single rectifier – SMPS stops working if the Neutral is disconnected

• Common requirements – high level of surge protection (4 to 6 kV)

Power supply requirements - Output

• Simple e-meter

• No communication – only measurement and data processing

• Output power: ~ 1 to 5 W

• Output voltage: 3.3/5 V – typical supply for MCU, metering, and display

• Smart e-meter – includes communication – PLC, GSM

• Output power

• Average: 2 to 6 W

• Peak power: up to 5 to 15 W

• Output voltages: 3.3/5 V and 10 to 15 V

• Concentrator

• Output power: 10 to 25 W

• Output voltages: 3.3/5 V and 10 to 15 V

Power supply requirements - Others

• Operating frequency

• The communication frequency of Smart meters is typically between 60

and 100 kHz

• Therefore, the preferred operating frequency is > 100 kHz

• Magnetic field immunity

• The SMPS must be able to survive magnetic fields up to 0.5 T!!!

• Distance of field source to SMPS – several centimeters

• Typically the SMPS must survive, but operation can be halted

• In certain cases, limited operation may also be required in this condition

SMPS

3.3/5 V

10 to 15 V

3.3/5V ISO

//

An SMPS consists of:

• AC/DC converter

• 10 to 15 V – communication – typically

directly generated by AC/DC

• 3.3/5V – MCU and other circuits

• Directly generated by SMPS

• + simple, - lower precision

• DC-DC from 10 to 15 V

• + more components, - precision

of both outputs is good

• LDO – either from unregulated output

of AC/DC or from 10 to 15 V

• 3.3V/5V ISO – mandatory for 3-phase e-

meter using shunts – either isolated DC-

DC or other output from AC/DC from

transformer

Buck Converter Limitations and Advantages

• Output

• 5 to 15 V, up to 300 mA (Viper26)

• Tolerance ±1 V

• Input

• Considering 100 V surge pulse up to 700 VDC

• It means 500 VAC

• Minimum voltage from 40 VDC (Viper06) to 100 VDC (Viper26)


• 30 or 60 kHz for Viper06

• 60 kHz for Viper16 or Viper26

• 115 kHz recommended only in case of 15 V output and no operation in CCM

• Applicable components

• Viperx6, Viperx1

Flyback Converter Limitations and Advantages

• Output

• Any voltage (typically 3.3V and 15V)

• Simple to realize more outputs

• High precision for one output (±3%)

• Power

• Altair04-900: 4 to 12 W (peak)

• Viperx1/6: 12 to 20 W

• L6566BH: Up to 30 W (in fact, not limited)

• Input maximum

• Viper: Up to 440 VAC for a limited time

• Altair04-900: Up to 460 VAC (permanent connection)

• L6566BH + 950V/1.2kV MOSFET: Up to 500 VAC


• Typically above 100 kHz (115 kHz, 100 to 130 kHz)
