CHAPTER 1 ─ INTRODUCTION
1.1 About the ElNet Meter
Large consumers of electricity e.g. factories, hotels, hospitals,
municipalities, need to know the history of their consumption and
the quality of the power supply. Details such as Voltage, Current,
Power Factor, Hertz, Neutral Current, Energy Demands and all
electricity related events are recorded in the ElNet Energy &
Powermeter.
An additional feature of the Meter is the ability to measure
Harmonics. Part of the Electricity Supply Authority’s bill reflects
poor or good Harmonics in the consumer’s system, therefore it is
in his interest to monitor Harmonics and try to improve it.
These are all recorded on a continual basis and can be recalled
and shown on the front panel display of the instrument with a few
simple key-strokes any time the user wishes.
The ElNet Energy & Powermeter is a compact, multi
functional, three-phase Meter simple to install and is especially
designed to integrate into Building Management Systems. It
requires no special mounting and is ideally suited for mounting on
the front face of any standard electrical panel.
The Configuration and Setup is menu driven, with password
protection.
Communication with external devices is simple and is based on
standard known technology.
The ElNet Energy & Powermeter boasts a new innovative
built in “Flash Memory”, which pioneers a new frontier into
electrical measurement. It has a 1 MB of FLASH MEMORY with
a capacity of recording up to 2 years of power malfunctions and
interruptions.
