Perfect Meter Needs Perfect Components

Pulished on Apr. 16, 2021

With the continuous development of technology, all walks of life are constantly innovating to adapt to the ever-changing market needs. This unstoppable wave also impacts the electricity meter industry and pushes us forward. Whether it is a finished electric meter or an electric meter components, they are all born for the special market demand. There is an old saying in China: one radish, one pit. For the electric meter industry, we can say “perfect meter need perfect components”.


First, let's talk about India. The Indian government and power companies are very fond of suspended meters. Nowadays, meters require advanced communication methods such as NB-IOT, GPRS-4G & Bluetooth. What is more special is that the amperage of Indian meters is usually 32A/64A. Therefore, we recommend using IM601- 60A relay and IM901- 90A relay. Good-price relay with UC2 certificate. In addition, India has a great demand for anti-theft. In response to India's demand for anti-theft, we also recommend multiple anti-theft CT.


Next, let’s talk about Russia. As an industrial power with a large area and a lot of energy, Russia’s electric meter amperage is 100A/120A. Russia also requires suspended electric meters. For certification, Russia’s requirements are UC3 certification. For the needs of Russia, we have introduced a 3-in-1 relay assembly, which completely meets the needs of the Russian market. Our IM1002 relay and IM1201 relay can also meet the needs of UC3 certificates.


Next, we turn our attention to Thailand. Thailand has a very large investment in power facilities, so the requirements for electricity meters are also very high (for example, dual modules are required). Therefore, we "prescribe the right medicine" specially designed EM12A034/EM52A026 two electric meters to meet the demand. Among them, the requirements for components are also very knowledgeable. Communication module should be emphasized here.


After talking about Thailand, let’s talk about another country in Asia—Indonesia. In recent years, Indonesia has carried out power grid reforms. Therefore, Indonesia’s requirements for electricity meters include: prepayment, remote on-off, etc., so electricity meters need to be "more efficient" , "Smarter", in view of these characteristics, we recommend the use of anti-DC transformers, magnetic latching relays, etc.


Finally, let’s take a look at the European market, such as Sweden, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. According to our long-term cooperation and accumulated experience, many European countries have more advanced and sophisticated requirements for power facilities. The amperage of their electric meters is 60A/80A. Many European countries prefer to use compact and small guide rail meters and require CE and MID certification. For components: ROHS&REACH, so there are many elegant choices for relays and current transformers.


Above is a summary of electricity meters and components in some countries. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. You can tell us in the comment area what are the requirements for electricity meters in your area~ We will study with humility and may provide you with mysterious prizes ~If you want to know more about the electricity meters and components mentioned in the knowledge and product information, please feel free to visit our website: www.ivy-metering.comand you can buy it directly on www.ivy-electronics.com
