3 PHASE DIRECT CONNECTED METER
TYPE: 538-1000 (WITH BLUETOOTH COMMUNICATION)
The Shikhar-300 series of meters are a part of Genus 3 Phase AC Static Direct Connected meter lineup for domestic, industrial and commercial applications. This meter consists of a comprehensive array of energy registers phase wise and cumulative with extensive configurability a user friendly display and aesthetically appealing housing.
3 Phase meters can handle varying loads, typically ranging from residential to industrial levels. The capacity depends on the specific meter and its design.
No, the type of meter (single-phase or three-phase) doesn’t affect electricity consumption. Consumption is determined by the connected load and usage patterns.
Three-phase metering is essential for accurately measuring power in industrial and commercial settings where the electrical system uses three-phase power distribution.
Wiring involves connecting the energy meter to three-phase high-voltage power lines, ensuring an aligned phase and proper installation following the installation guidelines.
The various types of 3-phase energy meters include –
Electromechanical Meters – Traditional meters with a rotating disk to calculate the energy usage.
Electronic Meters – Digital meters using solid parts for accurate energy calculation.
Smart Meters – Modern meters with communication capabilities for remote monitoring and control of energy usage.
Three-phase meters have their application in industrial and commercial sectors for accurate measurement of three-phase power consumptions, ensuring correct billing and efficient energy management.
Accurate measurement, efficient billing, and suitability for three-phase power systems, making them ideal for larger electrical loads.
Typically, four wires are present: three for each phase (L1, L2, L3), and one for the neutral (N)
Follow Installation guidelines, ensuring correct wiring, proper phase sequence, and compliance with safety standards.
To install a three-phase energy meter, companies must hire a licensed electrician and follow the local electrical codes to guarantee a stable and standard installation.
Three-phase meters are electronic devices used to calculate and track electrical energy usage in systems that rely on three-phase power distribution, commonly found in industrial and commercial sectors.
The price of a 3-phase meter box varies depending on the brand, specifications, and supplier. Generally, it ranges from 3000 to 5000 rupess, but can be higher for specialized models with advanced features.
