introduction:
The APM521 network power meter is designed and built in strict accordance with IEC international standards, with rich functions such as accurate measurement of full power, comprehensive statistics of electrical energy, in-depth analysis of electrical energy quality, event recording, and network communication. It is mainly used for comprehensive monitoring of power supply quality in the power grid. This series of instruments is equipped with fully functional DI/DO modules and AO modules, which can flexibly and efficiently achieve full power measurement of electrical circuits and real-time monitoring of switch status.
Against the backdrop of accelerated energy management and surging smart grid construction, smart meters with international certification have become an emerging growth engine in the field of power equipment exports. For enterprises, selecting products that have passed * * certification is not a simple market choice, but a "ticket" to enter * * markets such as North America and the European Union. It is also a strategic key to shaping brand reputation and ensuring long-term stable cooperation. Among them, UL certification, as a widely accepted safety standard in the North American market, works hand in hand with the CE certification of the European Union to jointly build the core compliance barrier for products to move towards internationalization.
1、 Application scenarios of electric meters
Commercial buildings, such as office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, etc., are used to accurately measure electricity consumption for cost accounting and energy management.
