Smart Power Analyzer Meter

EM835 SERIES

1. Introduction

The multifunction panel meter SMART EM835 series is a top new-generation intelligent panel meter, used not only in the electricity transmission and power distribution system but also in the power consumption measurement and analysis in high voltage intelligent power grid.

This document provides operating, maintenance and installation instructions for the SMART EM835 series. The unit measures and displays the characteristics of single phase two wires, three phase three wires and three phase four wires supplies, including voltage, frequency, current, power and active and reactive energy, imported or exported, Harmonic, Power factor, Max. Demand etc. Energy is measured in terms of kWh, kVArh. Maximum demand current can be measured over preset periods
of up to 60 minutes.

In order to measure energy, the unit requires voltage and current inputs in addition to the supply required to power the product. The requisite current input(s) are obtained via current transformers.

The SMART EM835 can be configured to work with a wide range of CTs, giving the unit a wide range of operation. Built-in interfaces provide pulse and RS485 Modbus RTU outputs. Configuration is password protected.

Pulse Relay Output The pulse relay output can be set to generate pulses to represent
kWh or kVAr.
Rate can set to generate 1 pulse per:

  • 0.001=1Wh/VArh
  • 0.01 = 10 Wh/VArh
  • 0.1 = 100 Wh/VArh
  • 1 = 1 kWh/kVArh
  • 10 = 10 kWh/kVArh
  • 100 = 100 kWh/kVArh
