Electricity meters come in many forms. Understanding features and capabilities, as well as the requirements of an application, can ensure that today’s meter will meet tomorrow’s requirements.

There is a significant difference between low cost metering solutions and advanced smart meters. Subsequently, there is a wide gap between how more advanced solutions can serve applications best instead of traditional low cost metering implementations.

SATEC were the first manufacturer to achieve the NMI M6-1 accreditation in a DIN-RAIL Smart Meter. SATEC also remain the only supplier to provide the Australian market with a multi-channel metering system solving the problem when there is no physical space for a new metering panel.

SATEC’s achievement in obtaining ISO 17025 provides further confidence with their metering product solutions.

Continued advancements in technology and functionality are the boundaries that SATEC continue to pursue with energy metering solutions.

Are you managing your Energy Metering assets? Do you manage your Metering assets manually? Can you retrieve asset information from meter display?

Many sceptics thought it was impossible to achieve NMI Approval for a Multifunction Electricity Meter designed in a compact DIN rail footprint. In fact many doomsday forecasters predicted electrical switchboard enclosures, distribution boards, riser/cupboard spaces for multifunction metering would have to be increased in size to accommodate larger electrical metering to be in compliance for Energy Meters per NMI M 6-1.

One of the many technical and metrology requirements for obtaining pattern approval and verification from The National Measurement Institute (NMI) for any active-energy electricity meter to be used for trade is for the energy meter to pass the 12KV impulse test.

Electricity meters, energy meters, multi-function metering and any power metering incorporating internal clocks for date/time stamp resolution must comply with NMI electrical metering standards to ensure the clock time does not drift.

NABERS rating for data centre load management and performance has been introduced to encourage improved environmental performance within the commercial built arena, improving innovation and outcomes for reducing energy consumption and reduced green-house gas (GHG) emissions.
