Abstract

Electric billing in the University of the Philippines Los Baños is done in a lumped sum manner. A primary metering system installed at the National Power Corporation (NPC) substation determines the total power consumption of all the buildings under UPLB. This system for measuring the energy consumption limits the ability to conduct researches about the electrical system about the electrical system of UPLB. Installation of secondary metering systems in buildings will solve this problem. This study determined the requirements for the safe operation of the secondary metering system including the specification of suitable ratings of the meters and auxiliary devices. It also developed a selection procedure for meters based on the fact that meter forms vary according to the phase, voltage and current level, the network configuration it services. Using the selection process, this study provides suggestions of the possible meters forms that can e used for the buildings in UPLB. The meter forms considered in this study conformed to ANSI standards, and were selected in such a way that Blondel's theorem was strictly followed.
