AC Meter Cards for OrionMX

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document introduces two new AC measurement cards for the OrionMX: the AC Meter Expansion Card (M1) and the AC Aux Meter Expansion Card (C1). These cards provide comprehensive AC measurements for monitoring and source transfer applications.

AC Meter Expansion Card (M1)
The M1 card offers accurate AC measurements from Bus 1 and provides Phase A, B, and C voltages from a second bus for source transfer and synchrocheck applications. It requires configuration with NCD and Distro 10.2, expected in Q1 2024.

AC Aux Meter Expansion Card (C1)
The C1 card attaches to the M1 card, offering additional AC measurements, including split core current inputs from Line 2 and a measured neutral from Line 1. It also supports synchrocheck applications.

Installation
Both cards utilize non-intrusive split core auxiliary CTs, transforming 5A nominal in the CT circuit to 5mA, allowing for quick installation without outages. Bitronics split core CTs maintain accuracy comparable to conventional CT inputs.

Available Measurements
The cards provide a wide range of measurements, including:
  • Amps, Volts, Watts, VARs, VAs, and Power Factor for phases A, B, C, and Total
  • Frequency, Phase Angle, Symmetrical Components, and Unbalance measurements
  • Demand and Fundamental Amps, THD, TDD, and Slip Frequency

Specifications
M1 Expansion Card:
  • Voltage Inputs: 8 Inputs for Bus 1 and Bus 2, nominal 120Vac, range 0 to 600V rms
  • Current Inputs: 3 Inputs for Line 1, nominal 5A ac with 1000/1 split-core CTs
  • Frequency: 20-75 Hz for voltage, 45-65 Hz for current
C1 Aux Meter Card:
  • Additional Current Inputs: 5 Inputs for Line 2 and Line 1 neutral currents
  • Nominal 5A ac with 1000/1 split-core CTs
  • Frequency: 45-65 Hz

When used together, the M1 and C1 cards provide a complete set of AC measurements from the second source.

AC Meter Cards for OrionMX-1

AC Meter Cards for OrionMX Two new AC measurement cards are available for the OrionMX: • The AC Meter Expansion Card (M1) - Provides a full set of accurate AC measurements from Bus 1. It also provides Phase A, B and C voltages from a second bus for source transfer and synchrocheck applications. • The AC Aux Meter Expansion Card (C1) – Attaches to the AC M1 Meter Card and provides additional AC measurements, including four split core current inputs from Line 2 (A, B, C, and N), one split core current input for measured neutral from Line 1, and one output for synchrocheck applications. When both cards above are added to an OrionMX, a complete set of AC measurements is available from the OrionMX to support monitoring and source transfer applications. Both the M1 and C1 cards are configured with NCD and require Distro 10.2, planned for release in Q1 2024. Non-intrusive Installation Both AC Meter Cards accept current inputs from split core auxiliary CTs. Split Core auxiliary CTs transform the 5A nominal in the CT circuit to 5mA (1000/1). This non-intrusive approach provides for quicker installation without taking an outage. Bitronics split core CTs provide the same accuracy as conventional hardwired CT inputs.
