ELECTRICITY METERS

Smart Grids use information and communication technologies to create integrated data and electricity networks with intelligent functionalities. Key components include smart meters, measuring relays, protection devices in substations, charging stations, and solar power plants. To ensure proper operation, Smart Grids must undergo EMC and insulation tests according to standards like IEC 62052-11 or IEC 60255-26. EMC PARTNER provides comprehensive testing solutions for all conducted transient and insulation tests in compliance with international IEC standards.

Energy costs are increasing worldwide providing an impetus to greater energy efficiency. For users to benefit from this increased efficiency, an accurate and reliable measurement of consumed energy is necessary. The mechanical electricity meter is being replaced by electronic smart electricity meters with remote load monitoring. Because energy meters are installed in the power distribution network, they are subjected to high voltage insulation and damped oscillatory wave (DOW) testing.

TEST TYPES:

• 1.2/50µs Voltage Insulation
• EFT/Burst Impulse
• 1 MHz Damped Oscillatory Wave
• Combination Wave Impulses
