Polyphase Smart Electricity Meter (PCR423)

Polyphase Smart Electricity
Meter (PCR423)
The PCR423 is a powerful three-phase smart electricity meter offering two-way AMI multi-communications (PLC, GPRS, RF), internal relay unit for remote disconnection, and precise energy measurement (positive and reverse active energy, leading and lagging reactive energy in 4 quadrants, active power, maximum demand, reactive power, RMS voltage & current, power factor and frequency). It also integrates power limitation – disconnecting load when configurable power or frequency thresholds are exceeded. The meter is fully compliant with IEC, ISO, STS, SABS and DLMS. It is a fully tamper-proof meter, and operates in prepayment or postpaid mode, remotely switchable via PowerCom’s AMI solution. Multiple tariffs are remotely configured for step-incline tariff and time of use (TOU). Bi-directional energy measurement supports connection to alternative energy production such as solar panel or wind turbines.
