Connecting tariff meter to control system
Connecting tariff meter to control system
(OP)
A different section of my organisation has asked me for advice on connecting the output of their tariff meters (watts, VArs and possibly current and volts) into the control systems. I know how we do it for our large sites (multiple circuits mainly over 100MVA) but I think that solution may be too expensive for smaller (10-100MVA single circuit) sites. Has anyone got any experience of doing this?
I think most of the meters will be the Elster A1700 type and I'm in the UK.

The first hit for "Elster A1700" is the Elster website. It appears that they have option boards to do just what you want.

My colleagues are not keen to use pulses as there is then no way to get amps and volts not to mention the time delay.
