We supply older versions only in version C-EM-0401M-P035 (35 A die-cut transformer). Other variants are replaced by a newer version C-EM-0401M-S (order no. TXN 133 22.90), in which the customer chooses suitable current transformers with a 100 mA output. It can also change them itself, the conversion constant of the transformer is entered into the configuration of the C-EM-0401 module during its operation in prog. Mosaic environment..


For fast and accurate measurement of 3f network (measurement of phase voltages, currents, active and reactive powers, power factors, THD voltages and currents and frequencies in the LV network, etc.), in the range of rated currents from 15 A to 150 A (according to the meter configuration ) we can use the electricity meter on the CIB bus C-EM-0401M. The meter is also equipped with voltage and frequency protection for controlling PV, HFVE and cogeneration units.

It is possible to order the C-EM-0401M electricity meter with other ranges of maximum measured currents (from 5 A to 600 A), with two variants of current transformers (through and opening).

 

Connection and measurement:

four voltage inputs (L1, L2, L3, L4) measured against the zero input (N).

The measured voltages should be secured, for example, with a 1 A fuse.

 

four current measuring inputs for connection of bushing (variant P) or opening (variant S) transformers with nominal current 5 A to 600 A (I1, I2, I3, I4).

The current signals of measuring transformers (selection of transformers according to the current range and method of installation is given in the following table) are connected to the pairs of terminals l1, k1, l2, k2, l3, k3, l4, k4 and their correct orientation must be observed (white wire to terminal k, the connection of the transformers is described in detail in the notes to the following connection example).

 

The standard supply voltage of the electricity meter is 75 ÷ 510 VAC or 80 ÷ 350 VDC.

The supply voltage of the electricity meter must be connected to terminals X1 and X2 via a disconnecting element (circuit breaker - see

following connection example). A circuit breaker with a nominal value of 1 A is suitable as a disconnecting element.

An electricity meter with a supply voltage range of 24 ÷ 48 VAC or 20 ÷ 75 VDC can be supplied on request.

 

The electricity meter samples 128 samples per period, sampling is controlled by the measured frequency on L1. The meter measures and evaluates voltage and current signals continuously without interruption, the basic evaluation interval is 200 ms.

In this interval, it is possible to read from the electricity meter via the bus the instantaneous values of active power (production, consumption) for each phase.

Other quantities can be read by query commands according to current needs.

In addition to voltages, currents and active powers, the meter also provides: reactive, apparent, deformation and fundamental active and reactive power, power factor, harmonics and THD currents and voltages, calculation of harmonic voltages and currents up to 63 harmonics.

 

The current inputs of the electricity meter must never be used for direct current measurement! Always use only the measuring transformers supplied with the device.

The C-EM-0401M electricity meter is equipped with a DO1 output, which is controlled by a protective function implemented in the electricity meter. The electricity meter implements the function of voltage and frequency protection, the range of monitored undervoltage, overvoltage, underfrequency and overfrequency, including reaction times is set in the parameters of the electricity meter. The same time is set for the resumption after the cause of the protection activation has disappeared.

Notes:

  1. It is suitable to connect voltage measuring inputs via fuses of approx. 1 A. All measured voltages are connected to the internal resistors via a high impedance.
  2. We connect current bushing transformers with the correct polarity: white wire to terminal k, black wire to terminal l of the respective input. 
  3. Pass the measured conductor through the transformer opening so that on the encapsulated side (yellow side) the output leads towards the appliances, on the black side (in the following figure "source side") the conductor is connected to the installation power supply (applies to standard connection of installation consumption measurement).
  4. Channel transformers are supplied with insulated stranded conductors with a length of approx. 110 mm. 
  5. Openable transformers are terminated with terminals with M3 screws, for connection to the electricity meter it is possible to use stranded insulated wires with a diameter of min. 0.5 mm.
  6. The length of the wires from the transformers to the meter terminal block should not be longer than approx. 1 m.
  7. After switching on the power supply, the start-up sequence takes place for 10 s (it is signaled by a fast flashing of the green LED R, it flashes in an interval of 400 ms). After switching to the normal measuring mode, the flashing will slow down for a period of 2 s.

 

The design and orientation of the measured current direction for bushing transformers are indicated in the following figure.

Divided measuring current transformer

This special type of measuring current transformers can be used for measuring alternating current up to approx. 650 A. Their great advantage is the relatively easy installation and the possibility to install the analyzer even during the operation of the measured device (without the need to disconnect). The split transformer can be easily connected, opened, snapped around the wire and start the measurement.
