Application

  • Bulk energy transfer measurement and reconciliation
  • Captive power plants (CPP), feeder monitoring, grid substations and wind turbines
  • On-line monitoring of energy exchange at various interface points
  • Metering for availability-based tariffs (ABT) and open access systems
  • Energy accounting systems

Benefits

  • Elimination of data gaps and revenue losses through use of hot-swappable meter modules, with automatic shorting of external current transformers
  • Minimal integration costs through multiple communications interfaces
  • Complies with the DLMS open data exchange protocol
  • Maximum revenue integrity through highest possible level of metering system accuracy
  • Efficient network management through accurate and detailed energy flow data
  • Suitable for diverse applications through wide-range voltage, current and auxiliary supply inputs

Features

  • Full four-quadrant import / export metering with active, reactive and apparent measurement
  • Total harmonic distortion (THD) measurement for currents and voltages
  • Draw-out type meter module with automatic CT shorting
  • Wide-range dual auxiliary power supply (AC and DC), with option for self-powering
  • Dynamic error compensation for external current and voltage transformers
  • Intuitive graphical display for parameters and data
  • Two metrology LEDs for simultaneous accuracy testing of different parameters
  • Four LEDs for energy redirection and status indication
  • Comprehensive data storage for current and historical readings and load survey data
  • Flexible time-of-day tariff and maximum demand support, with automatic billing
  • Multiple communication ports for local and remote data transfer and for interfacing with external systems
  • Inter-operable DLMS and Modbus protocols for meter reading
  • Best suitable for Interface Energy Meters with five minutes integration period (field configurable)

Client testimonials

“APCPDCL has a road map to achieve a smart grid in the near future. That needs smart meters with communications channels, and input and output options. This makes the new Apex 100 meters suitable for APCPDCL, and does away with the need to reinvest in new metering when the smart grid is in place.”

Client testimonials

“With the high range of secondary currents of 1A and 10A availability in the meter, we can use the same meter for 1A secondary current applications and also for 5A secondary current applications. With this facility in the meter we can limit the stock, as it is useful for 1A as well as 5A secondary currents.”
