Choose the right and suitable energy measurement device for your application

The need for measurement is increasing. In addition to insight into energy consumption, more and more companies want insight into the load on their installation and into the quality of voltage and current (Power Quality solutions). In addition, they want to be notified in time if malfunctions occur.

Variety of energy meters

Fortop has a wide range of energy meters in the range. The differences are mainly in the design, options and type of display. A simple energy meter can suffice in the short term, but in the longer term a more extensive energy meter often pays for itself.

The choice of an energy meter depends on what you want to measure and how you want the data to be presented.

Reasons to measure according to the 4 aspects of power management

blueprint measurement levels - reasons to measure

We distinguish four measurement levels, each with their own measuring instrument:

Level 1: Incoming fields at medium voltage level; Power Quality Analyzers

  • Measurement check of measuring operation of kWh consumption
  • Monitor contract value with grid operator
  • Registration of voltage dips and peaks
  • Voltage quality monitoring EN50160

Level 2: Low voltage side transformers; Power Analyzers

  • Power room monitoring on transformer and generator
  • Monitoring power factor inductive / capacitive
  • Voltage quality monitoring IEC61000-2-4
  • Registration of voltage dips, peaks and waveforms
  • Energy consumption measurement

Level 3: Outgoing fields of main distributors; Universal energy meters

  • Consumption registration per building part / installation part
  • Registration of origin of network pollution
  • Determining the power space per installation part

Level 4: Sub-distributors and end-users; DIN rail consumption meters

  • Consumption registration per installation part / end-user
  • Determining the power space per installation part

Why measure power quality with a power analyzer?

Power Quality problems are common but are not always visible. Unexplained failure of machine or installation raises many questions. In many cases there are problems with the quality of electrical energy (power quality). What Power Quality is exactly is described in our white paper Power Quality.

Insight into voltage dips with energy meter Janitza

View voltage dip with energy meter

You are in a room with the lights on. In a fraction of a second the light drops out briefly and comes on again immediately. Cause? A voltage dip. With an energy meter you have insight into voltage dips. We explain exactly what these voltage dips are in our white paper voltage dips
