The Main Advantages of DIN Rail Energy Meters

Oct 10, 2024

I wonder if everyone has noticed that traditional wall-mounted smart meters used to be fixed in one place and had the characteristics of large size and inconvenient installation. Nowadays, many brand manufacturers have launched DIN rail single-phase energy meters. DIN rail energy meters adopt a modular design, with a width matching that of miniature circuit breakers, and belong to the standard DIN 35mm rail installation method. ACREL energy meter designed for DIN rail mounting can be easily installed in distribution boxes and has the advantages of small size, lightweight, easy installation, and easy networking. They are easy to achieve terminal distribution energy metering and facilitate the addition of energy meters to industrial electrical metering systems for transformation.

What are the differences between DIN rail energy meters and traditional energy meters?

Appearance difference

Compared to traditional energy meters, DIN rail energy meters are smaller in size, easier to install, and lack an LCD display function. Instead, they use five indicator lights to show the operating status of the energy meter.

Functional difference

DIN rail energy meters are fully compatible with Type I and Type II collectors, support data through-copy functions, support the collection and storage of information on locks, charging piles, and other metering devices, and support real-time data collection and freezing.

What are the main advantages of DIN rail energy meters?

Provide data support for inaccuracy analysis

DIN rail energy meters can be used as main meters in metering boxes for measuring and monitoring. They can read voltage, current, electric quantity, and other data from other energy meters in the box, providing data for platform and local inaccuracy analysis models, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of inaccuracy analysis and generating event reports.

Meet the needs of hierarchical line loss lean management

By establishing the network topology relationship between the main meter of the metering box and household meters, a multi-level structure of "transformer-substation, substation-box, box-household" is formed to achieve lean management of line loss.

Provide technical means for anti-theft analysis and location

Through the sensing capability of DIN rail energy meters, fault and power outage events can be reported in a timely manner, and data analysis methods can be used to study and locate anti-theft events.

Flexible installation

DIN rail energy meters use standard rail installation methods, such as the common 35mm DIN rail, making the installation process very convenient. Simply snap the meter into the rail to complete the installation, without the need for complex fixing and connection processes.

Wide application of DIN rail energy meters

Due to their flexibility and multifunctionality, rail-mounted energy meters are widely used in various scenarios. In industrial applications, they can be used in factories and workshops; in commercial applications, they can help manage electricity in shopping malls and office buildings; in household applications, they can also be used in home distribution systems. Additionally, DIN rail energy meters are suitable for buildings, data centers, automated production lines, and other occasions.
