Full Electricity Meter Test Solution Single Port testing system Three phase testing using a single connection point for the EUT is labour saving and eliminiates potential operator error. EMC Partner systems for EFT, Surge and DOW can all be coupled through one single device: The CDN3000A-06-32 Electricity Meter Test System

Testing of electricity meters has evolved to take account of the increasing use of electronics. Apart from tests of electrical safety, Electricity meters must be tested for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) relevant to the installation environment and in more modern electricitry meters, tests against disturbance caused by mains signalling must be conducted. EMC PARTNER specialize in test equipment to simulate the impulse and short duration disturbances that can be propogated down the power mains. By their very nature, most electricity meters are required to operate in three phase power...

Application Options Electricity Meter Energy meter testing is a complex and lengthy affair. With EMC PARTNER impulse test equipment, the insulation test, Eelctrical tests and Electromagnetic Compatibility tests (EMC) are reduced to managable levels. Your aim is to test and approve electricity meters as fast as possible. EMC PARTNER can help. Smart Meter The addition of electronics and control interfaces to energy meters has created the need for more tests to ensure reliable energy measurement and reporting. In particular when mains signalling is used, there is a need to perform differential...

Generators Because there is such a wide range of testing required for electricity meters, several unique stand-alone generators are required. Test equipment from other product areas can be used and the relevant generators are referenced in this brochure. For full technical specifications, please refer to the corresponding equipment brochure as noted below the relevant product. Insulation Tests MIG0603CWG and MIG1203CWG include two different impulse types. The voltage impulse with a source impedance of 40Ω and a combination Wave Generator (CWG) witha source impedance of 2Ω. The 1.2/50µs...

Generators Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) Tests As part of the test schedule, a range of EMC tests are called upon. These include Fast transient/Burst, Damped Oscillatory Wave, Electrostatic Discharge and Surge Immunity tests. For all EMC tests, a coupling / decoupling network (CDN) is also required. Damped Oscillatory Waves (DOW) The “classic” damped oscillatory wave generator for IEC, EN and ANSI applications. The slow waves are available through either balanced differential or grounded outputs. The 100kHz and 1MHz waveforms can be programmed up to 3000V. This generator is ideal for...
