Abstract
An arrangement includes an A/D converter and a processing circuit. The A/D converter is configured to generate digital samples of voltage and current waveforms in a polyphase electrical system. The processing circuit is operably coupled to receive the digital samples from the A/D converter. The processing circuit configured is to obtain contemporaneous phase current and voltage samples I, I, Iand/or I, and V, V, V. The processing circuit is further configured to determine at least Isample values based on three of the current samples of I, I, I, and I, and determine a VA value based at least in part on I. The processing circuit is further configured to provide information representative of the VA calculation to one of a group consisting of a display, a communication circuit, a memory and a billing calculation unit.
