APATOR smartESOX pro 3 Phase Electricity Meter
Product Information
The smartESOX pro is a three-phase electricity meter designed for high-power photovoltaic installations that operate in the power grid. It is specifically designed to enable the settlement of prosumers using the net energy metering (NEM) method. The meter issuitable for use in autonomous or stand-alone installations.
Key Features
- Measurement of active, reactive, and apparent energy
- Measurement of instantaneous, maximum, redundant, and cumulative power
- Measurement of network parameters, including voltages, currents, voltage and current harmonics, frequencies, THD, asymmetry factor, and neutral wire current
- Monitoring of power grid parameters such as voltage dips and swells, long power outages, current and voltage asymmetry, current flow with no applied voltage, no current flow, and exceeded current limit
- Direct, semi-direct, and indirect connection through current transformers (CT), optionally also through voltage transformers (VT)
- Recording of energy in six tariff zones, switched by a built-in real-time clock
- Wide range of recording capabilities for measured parameters with independently configurable profiles and different recording intervals
- Enhanced event logging with 7 groups of events recorded in independent logs
- Three built-in communication ports: one optical and two serial
- Interchangeable communication module: 3G/GPRS or Ethernet
- Built-in emergency power supply connected to an external power source
- Ability to read energy registers on the display in case of power outage powered by a replaceable AA battery
- Ability to read profiles and reference periods on the LCD display
Application
smartESOX pro for RES is a three-phase elec- tricity meter designed for high- power photovol- taic installations that operate in the power grid, ensuring the settlement of prosumers using the net energy metering (NEM) method. The meter works well in autonomous or stand-alone instal- lations.
