Assignee: LUNAR ENERGY, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining a configuration associated with at least one metering component installed at a site to be metered;
performing a metering component test including at least one of:
detecting phase assignment of the at least one metering component based at least on the configuration including by:
discharging a battery by a predefined power amount on a first line;
determining whether a measurement on a first metering component changed by an expected amount;
in response to a determination that the measurement on the first metering component did not change by the expected amount:
determining that a measurement on a second metering component changed by the expected amount;
determining that the second metering component is on the first line; and
setting a phase adjustment factor for the second metering component to reflect the determination that the second metering component is on the first line;

in response to a determination that the measurement on the first metering component changed by the expected amount:
determining that the first metering component is on the first line;
setting a phase adjustment factor for the first metering component to be 1;
discharging the battery by the predefined power amount on a second line;
determining whether the measurement on the second metering component changed by the expected amount;

in response to a determination that the measurement on the second metering component did not change by the expected amount and a determination that the measurement on the first metering component changed by the expected amount:
determining that the first metering component is on the second line; and
setting a phase adjustment factor for the first metering component to reflect the determination that the first metering component is on the second line;

in response to a determination that the measurement on the second metering component changed by the expected amount:
determining that the second metering component is on the second line; and
setting a phase adjustment factor for the second metering component to be 1; and

detecting polarity of the at least one metering component based at least on the configuration; and

outputting information associated with the metering component test.
