Smart Meter Relays & Latching Bistable Relays: The Core Switching Components for Smart Grids
A key component in ensuring the proper functioning of these systems is the “Latching Relay". This vital device enables precise control of the smart meter's operations, managing everything from customer demand to energy connection control. (remote load disconnect & reconnect)
In Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and smart grid developments, the smart meter relay is crucial for reliable load management. The most widely adopted technology is the latching relay (also known as a magnetic latching relay or bistable relay). Unlike standard relays, a latching relay is highly energy-efficient; it maintains its contact state without continuous power and requires only a short electrical pulse to switch.
IVY Metering latching relays are fully compliant with IEC 62055-31 or IEC 62052-11, UC2/UC3 standards. Available in both traditional pulse-driven and advanced motor-driven designs, they feature high current capacities (up to 150A) and exceptional magnetic immunity (up to 500mT) to prevent electricity theft. Widely applied in prepaid smart meters, EV chargers, solar PV systems, and industrial automation, our relays deliver secure, anti-tamper, and long-lasting load control solutions.
IVY Metering current transformers include: internal small current transformers(1~140A PCB & Lead wire type DC/Non-DC immunity high accuracy CTs) and outdoor split core current transformers (60/150/200A/400/500/800A......5000A), with mA/1A/5A output.
