DC meter

Real data can feedback facts, and people can use data to make judgments and adjustments. Data is everywhere in our lives, such as our electricity metering industry. In order to better know the power data situation, there is an electric meter. The DC energy meter have been designed for industrial & Telecom applications purpose. Nowadays, the new energy industry is booming, and the shadow of DC measurement is everywhere. Let’s discuss DC power meters together today.

There is direct current and communication in life. By comparing with AC, we can better know what DC is. The difference between direct current and alternating current is: 1. Direct current: In a unit time, the magnitude and direction of the current does not change called direct current; it was discovered by Edison. 2. Alternating current: In unit time, the size and direction of the current constantly change periodically is called alternating current. The function of direct current and alternating current is: these two different types of electricity can be regarded as a kind of energy, and equipment suitable for this energy can be used to transform this energy into the "power" that people need in different situations to meet the requirements. And to meet the needs of people in various aspects of production and life.

Now that we know what direct current (DC) is, we know that a DC meter is used to measure current that does not change in magnitude or direction. So what are the main application scenarios? Mainly PV, batteries, charging piles, large electrical equipment in factories, etc. In fact, no matter what the application is, you will see It’s track wherever you need to measure the DC.

Let's take solar energy as an example, why do we need to DC meter for it? In the process of DC generated by PV power generation, in addition to part of the inverter is converted into AC to be connected to the grid, and part of the direct current will be directly stored in storage batteries for emergencies. In the process of charging and discharging energy storage battery system will use DC electricity meter......

IVY, as an electricity meter manufacturer, also produces DC meters for the DC market. Taking IVY EM613001 as an example, I will briefly introduce the characteristics of this electricity meter:

1. Precision：Sampling by shunt, which can safegard the araccuracy is precious within Cl 1.

2. Wide range : 10-240A，DC 40-400V

3. Convenience: RS485 DC meter by cost-effective

4. Safety: Support over current and over voltage by alarm.

5. Friendly: Can check LCD data with back light during dark environment.

6. Multifunction: 4 tariff, 8 time slots.
