External CTPT error compensation

Automatic CT shorting feature is available which provide facility to remove the module at site with any shutdown for periodical testing purpose. Additional RS232 communication ports are available in Rack for online communication and in latest ABT meters are having 5 communication ports including USB serial to read meter without CMRI External CT PT error compensation facility available to achieve the better system accuracy. It will be possible to check the healthiness of phase voltages by displaying all the voltages on the display of the metering system. The meter will work accurately irrespective of phase sequence of the mains supply. Also the mid night snap shots of the following parameters for last 35 days will be provided: (i) Active energy import (ii) Active energy export (iii) Cumulati ve Reactive energy import for voltage high condition (iv) Cumulati ve Reactive energy export for voltage

Not possible

Tampers:

i.

Missing Potential: The offered meter will be capable of detecting and recording occurrences and restoration of missing potential (1 phase or 2 phases) which can happen due to intentional / accidental disconnection of potential leads. CT Polarity reversal: The offered meter will be capable of detecting and recording occurrences and restoration of CT polarity reversal of one or more phases. Current and Potential imbalance: The meter will be capable of detecting and recording occurrence and restoration of unbalance of voltage and current.

ii.

iii.

Snapshots of voltage, current, power factor and energy (active) readings as well as date and time of logging of occurrence and restoration of all the above anamoly events will be logged into the meter memory and available for retrieving through the meters optical port via

Data collection device and down loading to BCS.

iv.

Power On/Off: The offered meter will detect power off when both the auxiliaries supply fails; this event will be recorded on the net power up. At the same time power on event will be recorded.

Last hundred events (occurrence + restoration, occurrence & restoration will be counted as a separate event) of all types of anomaly with date and time will be available in the meter memory on first-in, first-out basis. 3. Compartment tampers wise

Compa rtment No.1: 20 events of missing potential. Compa rtment No.2: 20 events of CT polarity reversal. Compa rtment No3: 40 events will be allocated for current / voltage unbalance. Compa rtment No.4: 20 events of power On/Off. Tamper data will be available on meter display as detailed below: Present Status of Tamper First Occurrence Tamper ID Date and Time of First Tamper Occurrence Last Tamper Restoration ID
