Discover NMI M6-1 pattern approved electricity meters for Australian defence facilities. SATEC’s Class 0.5S accuracy meters ensure compliance with National Measurement Act requirements for military energy infrastructure.

Discover how SATEC’s shadow metering solutions deliver transparent, compliant tenant utility billing for Australian commercial properties. Advanced power metering technology for fair billing practices.

For buildings aiming to achieve NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) certification, NMI (National Measurement Institute) approved energy meters play a vital role in ensuring precise and compliant energy data.

SATEC’s eXpertmeter EM133-XM-HACS is the 1st DIN meter approved by the National Measurement Institute (NMI) to be used for three (3) Single-Phase Smart-Meters in a single compact unit!

SATEC’s release of the NMI approved EM133-XM eXpertmeter takes smart energy metering to a high-level design far exceeding any DIN energy meter products currently on the Australian Market.

Electricity energy meters for use in the Australian market must be Pattern Approved, this involves a process of assessing and testing the electricity energy meter to comply with metrology conditions per NMI M 6-1.

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.

SATEC continue to set the standard in Energy Metering design with the release of the NMI Approved BFM136 Multi Circuit Meter, suitable for use on multiple electrical circuits.

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.
