METERS FOR FISCAL METERING AND SUBMEASUREMENT

The Law 54/1997, of November 27, concerning the Electricity Sector, has established mechanisms for competition in its operation, whose fulfillment required the implementation of a homogeneous and effective system for metering the energy transfers between the various electrical activities.

In developing the law's regulations, the following classification of the measurement points has been established, as well as the precision requirements necessary for the meters.




METERING EQUIPMENTS

A first classification of the energy meters can be carried out according to their application: fiscal metering and sub-metering. APLEIN INGENIEROS, S.A. has suitable equipment for both purposes.

Equipment for fiscal metering: MK 6S

The equipment dedicated to fiscal metering has to comply with the requirements laid down by the legislation in force with regard to the characteristics of the meter and the communications protocols.

MK 6S - Features

* Accuracy: class 0.2S – 0.5S - 1
Appropriate for use in measurement points type 1, 2 & 3
* 4-quadrant measurements
* 255 load profiles
* Readings: power factor, energy, frequency, power, instantaneous values of voltage and current.
* Tariffication (TOU) : Up to 8 rates per channel / 5 simultaneous
* Screen display with 4 lines of text
* Pulse inputs and outputs
* MODBUS and IEC 870-5-102 communication, REE spec.



Submetering equipment or industrial meters: MK 10


This equipment is appropriate for installation in an energy management system.
The objectives of an energy management system are the reduction of costs and the analytic consumption management. The following essential functions must be provided:

* Measurement of electrical magnitudes
* Measurement of power and active and reactive energy
* Historical records of consumption, thresholds exceeded, values reached
* Critical magnitudes: power factor, harmonics
* Detection of events outside the regulations: voltage surges, overcurrents, etc.

An energy management system consists of meters connected to a local industrial network which is used to transmit information to a database where it will be analysed to permit decisions to be taken.


MK 10 - Features:

* Accuracy: class 1 - 2
Appropriate for use in measurement points type 3, 4 and 5
* 4-quadrant measurements
* Screen display with 4 lines of text
* 4 load profiles
* Readings: power factor, energy, frequency, power, instantaneous values of V and I.
* Measurement of the network quality parameters - UNE EN 50160
