GETTING STARTED
To describe how to use the MCP3909 3-Phase Energy Meter Reference Design, the
following example is given using both a 4-Wire 3-phase, 220VAC line voltage and
connections using an energy meter calibrator equipment or other programmable load
source. The meter design uses a 5A load for calibration current and a maximum current
(I
All connections described in this section are dependent on the choice of current
sensing element and a secondary external transformer may be required in higher
current meter designs.
For testing a calibrated meter, the following connections apply for a 4-wire connection.

The meter will turn on when the line connection has 220V connected to any of the three
phases.
1.3.3
After connecting the USB cable to a computer running Windows
meter should be recognized as a HID (Human Interface Device) compliant USB device.
