6. Calculate the Power LSB, using Equation 5. Equation 5 shows a general formula; because the bus voltage
measurement LSB is always 4mV, the power formula reduces to the calculated result.
(5)
7. Compute the maximum current and shunt voltage values (before overflow), as shown by Equation 6 and
Equation 7. Note that both Equation 6 and Equation 7 involve an If - then condition:
(6)
If Max_Current ≥ Max Possible_I then
Max_Current_Before_Overflow = MaxPossible_I
Else
Max_Current_Before_Overflow = Max_Current
End If
(Note that Max_Current is greater than MaxPossible_I in this example.)
Max_Current_Before_Overflow = 0.64 (Note: This result is displayed by software as seen in Figure 21.)
(7)
If Max_ShuntVoltage ≥ V
SHUNT_MAX
Max_ShuntVoltage_Before_Overflow = V
SHUNT_MAX
Else
Max_ShuntVoltage_Before_Overflow= Max_ShuntVoltage
End If
(Note that Max_ShuntVoltage is greater than V
SHUNT_MAX
in this example.)
Max_ShuntVoltage_Before_Overflow = 0.32 (Note: This result is displayed by software as seen in
Figure 21.)
8. Compute the maximum power with Equation 8.

9. (Optional second Calibration step.) Compute corrected full-scale calibration value based on measured
current.
