Energy Meter shows "Phase Loss" Alarm

Issue
Energy meter shows “Phase Loss” alarm on front display.

Product Line
Energy meter (EMB and EME series).

Environment
Installing/wiring energy meter

Cause
If the voltage of any phase is measured as less than 75% of the voltage on any other phase, the display will show PHASE LOSS and indicate the specific phase(s).

Resolution
If the energy meter is installed with the proper number of phases (see selection below to determine this) then the phase voltages should be verified. If the number of phases installed is not correct, then the phase loss alarm will be indicated in all operating conditions.

It’s very important to know the model number of your Energy meter.
For example, users see “Phase Loss” error when they use EMB2043 (1 phase, 3 wire) with 1 phase, 2 wire application.

As a result, it’s very important for users to know their application and use appropriate meter that meets their system type.  Please review the tables below for selecting correct meter.
