The issue of saving electricity is an acute issue for many citizens. The easiest option is to replace the old electricity meter with more modern equipment. In this regard, the Matrix electric meter has recently become very popular, which helps to reduce the consumption of wasted electricity.
Counter description
The electricity meter from the Matrix company is a multifunctional equipment with a high accuracy class. By using it, both consumers and companies supplying electricity will know exactly how much energy was spent and at what time it happened.
Email counter Matrix is an intelligent device included in the AIIS KUE. Among the main functions that such equipment performs, the key ones are the measurement and accounting of energy in one or more directions. The coverage of the device functionality includes:
- Multi-tariff metering of consumed energy. Up to six temporary tariffs are available for accounting with the possibility of self-regulation of special days.
- Measurement of all the necessary parameters of the electrical network.
- The ability to read various profiles, ranging from minute to hour.
- The possibility of using several relays to protect the power supply network from the risk of short circuits, as well as to limit the current power, permissible voltage thresholds.
- Remote reading of information from the device, as well as adjustment of the configuration of the measuring device.
Electricity metering device Matrix has several additional functions that exclude the possibility of unauthorized access to the device. We are talking about the presence of a variety of sensors that determine:
- opening the case;
- opening the terminal block;
- incorrect connection;
- differential current;
- excessively strong magnetic field.
Such meters are installed not only in residential buildings, but also in industrial facilities.
Why do we need counters Matrix
Installing counters in the house Matrix allows you to implement several functions at once:
- control of the quantity and quality of consumed energy, voltage, frequency and other parameters;
- operational analysis, storage and processing of incoming information for correct commercial calculations of the cost of consumed electricity;
- increasing the reliability and efficiency of energy metering;
- regulated distribution of power and energy, which can significantly reduce energy costs, and this is especially important for large enterprises;
- reduction of payments for energy resources;
- fully automatic carrying out of all calculations of the consumed electricity between subscribers and supplying companies.
Of the advantages of using the Matrix counter, one can single out the presence of a modern system for setting up equipment and its reliable operation. Due to the monitoring system used, a simple data exchange is ensured by transferring them through power networks. Stability and reliability of communication is ensured due to the signal retransmission channel operating at two frequencies.
The supplier can continuously monitor the lines for the degree of their utilization at the moment of maximum energy consumption.
How savings are achieved
By installing the Matrix meter, electricity consumers deprive themselves of the risk of electricity theft by unscrupulous people. The total loss of electricity of the facility can only be technical leaks, the amount of additional contributions, which are indicated in the receipt in the form of "general house needs" or "electricity losses", will be significantly reduced. Therefore, conscientious consumers do not have to pay for fraudulent activities of other people.
The Matrix electricity metering system has a specialized power relay in its design, which, if necessary, completely cuts off the power supply to the subscriber, thus ensuring its protection against possible short circuits, as well as sudden voltage surges that often occur during leaks. When configured correctly, the Residual Shutdown function can help avoid the risk of costly equipment repairs that will inevitably be required in the event of an emergency.
The meter transfers all data to the Center through secure communication protocols. The history of readings is permanently stored in the device's memory, as well as in the database, making it impossible to make any adjustments. If any conflict situations arise between the company providing the house with electricity and the consumer, you can study the history of the readings and understand who is right.
The meter captures and instantly transmits to the database all information about attempts to gain access to the device unauthorized, regardless of whether it is in the room or fixed on a pole on the street.
Home and appliances protection
The meter constantly monitors all network parameters and stores data on the occurrence of any emergency situations. If necessary, the emergency shutdown function of the built-in power relay is activated.
The device displays the following parameters:
- current;
- power;
- voltage;
- voltage balance;
- temperature;
- differential current.
Tracking each of these parameters is required to provide protection against various emergencies: overheating, leakage, voltage imbalance, short circuit and overload. Thus, comprehensive safety of the power grid and the equipment used is achieved against possible risks.
Single-phase and three-phase
The manufacturer offers citizens to purchase specialized routers, but their use is mainly relevant for various enterprises. The main difference is more power and a noticeably higher cost.
Counter functionality Matrix
Counter Matrix is one of the key components of AIIS KUE. With its help, several useful functions are implemented at once:
- automatic collection of indicators coming from meters;
- prompt response to any emergency situations arising in the operation of the power supply network;
- a significant reduction in electricity losses due to the information on the phase balance, as well as the presence of meters and differential current opening sensors in the design;
- remote control of meter parameters, tracking the mode of electricity consumption by subscribers;
- control of individual parameters of power supply;
- management of street lighting sources;
- data exchange with billing systems to issue reliable bills for consumed electricity.
Matrix meters are multifunctional devices that perform almost all tasks necessary to protect the power grid and economize energy consumption.
