Check The Error On The Multitek Energy Meter For 4000A DB

04/13/2015 5:13 AM

Hi every one

Can tell how to use the fluk energy logger to connect to the "multitek M600-WM9" energy meter to carry out the compare % of error for 4000A DB panel.

I facing following promble :-

1. Can not de-energise the 4000A DB panel.

2. Can not access the 4000A DB panel.

3. only can access to the control section.

4. Ration for CT is 4000/5A

any one can advise .

The equipment supplier can, certainly, and the best (certainly the quickest) thing to do is to use the telephone to speak directly to a technical adviser.

Your options are very limited, you're not allowed to propperly connect to your actual power lines and instead want to connect one measuring instrument to another measuring instrument.

In my opinion, the fluke energy logger alone would be a better option; fortunately the fluke logger has 2 analog auxiliar inputs, except that they are +/- 10V, and the multitek analog output is 0-20mA; in that case you would need a signal conditioner to convert from 0-20mA to +/-10V.

Your question makes think that you've not R.T.F.M. (Read The Furnished Manuals), here you go, a manual and a brochure, that'll get you quick started.

<...a signal conditioner to convert from 0-20mA to +/-10V....> Would that be a single 500 ohm precision resistor?

It could be, but a bi-polar signal is needed.

Hi All

I have use the energy logger and the set below :

1. The current prove for L1 clamp on the Multitek Energy Meter terminal T1, L2 clamp on the Multitek Energy Meter terminal T4 and L3 clamp on the Multitek Energy Meter terminal T7 (for current portion).

2. The voltage source for V1, V2, V3 and Nurture take from the spare 400A DB (for voltage portion).

3. Refer to the SLD show the measurement CT indicate 4000/5A, I set the energy logger current prove ration to 800.

4. The power supply for the energy logger I tapped from L1 and Nurture.

I am getting 2 MWH for 2 hours (Total consumption) and compare to the Multitek Energy Meter reading is very close and the remote metering is about 19% error.

we still study and the IMCS system cause the 19% error local and remote metering.

Need some advise for anyone come cause this issue & solution .

Thanks

Chan KK
