EM720

Multi-Function Revenue Meter

Hybrid Revenue Meter & Power Quality Analyzer (PQA / PQM)

The EM720 is the IEC version of the eXpertMeterTM Series of multifunctional power analyzers. This series was designed to deliver two functionalities that are present in every substation, in a single device:

 

  • PQ Analyzer & Power Meter, typically required by utility SCADA teams
  • Revenue Meter, typically operated and read by the utility billing department

 

Combining these functions simplifies design and eliminates redundancy.

Revenue Meter:

 

  • Class 0.2S per IEC 62053-22
  • Anti-tamper revenue grade design
  • 5A or 1A current inputs

 

Power Quality Analyzer

 

  • PQ monitoring per IEC 61000-4-30 Class A requirements
  • EN50160 / GOST 32144 statistics and reports
  • Waveform capture and transient recording at 1024 samples per cycle

 

Transformer and transmission line losses calculation

 

Communication

 

  • IEC 61850
  • Interfaces: RS485/232; ETH; 2G/3G; USB; IR / IRIG-B
  • Open protocol: Modbus RTU; DNP3.0

 

Digital & Analog I/O: up to 8 I/O

 

Backup Battery: up to 6 hours of full operation. Rechargeable

Transformer/Line losses calculation

 

Based on parameters such as copper losses and iron losses, this unique economical feature enables the meter to accurately establish a virtual metering point. This eliminates the need to construct a costly high voltage metering point, requiring a metering cubicle, CT and PT.

Power Meter

  • Voltage, current (including neutral current), power, energy, power factor, frequency, voltage/current unbalance
  • Ampere/Volt demand meter
  • 50/60 Hz measurements
  • 256 samples per cycle

Revenue Meter

  • Class 0.2S accuracy per IEC 62053-22
  • Four-quadrant import and export (e.g. PV), active and reactive energy poly-phase static meter
  • Three-phase total and per phase energy measurements; active, reactive and apparent energy counters
  • Time Of Use (TOU): 10 billing energy and maximum demand registers, 8 tariff rates, 4 seasons x 4 types of days, 8 tariff changes per day
  • Easily programmable tariff calendar schedule
  • Revenue grade, anti-tamper design
  • Virtual metering: transformer and transmission line losses calculation

Power Quality Analyzer

  • Power Quality Analysis according to IEC 61000-4-30 Class A
  • EN50160 / GOST 32144 monitoring, statistics & reports
  • 6 hour battery back-up and/or auxiliary power supply for continuous recording of major dips & interruptions
  • Harmonics & Inter-harmonics per IEC 61000-4-7
  • Voltage and current THD, TDD and K-Factor, up to 50th order harmonic
  • Voltage and current harmonic spectrum and angles
  • Directional power harmonics
  • Flicker measurement per IEC 61000-4-15
  • Waveform recording, up to 1024 samples/cycle*
