The issue of energy savings is an issue for many citizens. The easiest option is to replace the old electric meter with more modern equipment. In this regard, in recent years, the Matrix electric meter has become very popular, which helps to reduce the energy consumption that is wasted.
Counter description
The Matrica energy meter is a multifunctional equipment characterized by a high accuracy class. Through its use, both consumers and companies supplying electricity will know exactly how much energy was spent and what time it happened.
Email Matrix counter is an intelligent device included in AIIS KUE. Among the main functions that such equipment performs, the key are the measurement and metering of energy in one or more directions. The scope of the device’s functionality includes:
- Multi-tariff metering of consumed energy. Up to six temporary tariffs are available for accounting with the possibility of independent regulation of special days.
- Measurement of all necessary parameters of the power supply network.
- The ability to read various profiles, from minute to hour.
- The ability to use several relays to protect the power supply network from the risk of a short circuit, as well as to limit the current power, acceptable voltage thresholds.
- Remote reading of information from the device, as well as regulation of the configuration of the measuring device.
The Matrix electricity metering device has several additional functions that exclude the possibility of gaining unauthorized access to the device. We are talking about the presence of many 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 are the counters needed? Matrix
Installation of Matrix meters in the house allows you to implement several functions at once:
- control of the quantity and quality of energy consumed, voltage, frequency and other parameters;
- operational analysis, storage and processing of incoming information to conduct correct commercial calculations of the cost of electricity consumed;
- 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 in payment for energy resources;
- fully automatic performance of all calculations of consumed electricity between subscribers and suppliers.
Among the advantages of using the Matrix counter, we can distinguish the presence of a modern equipment tuning system and its reliable operation. Due to the monitoring system used, a simple exchange of data is provided by transmitting them through power networks. Stability and reliability of communication is ensured due to a signal relay channel operating at two frequencies.
The supplier can constantly monitor the lines for their load at the time of maximum energy consumption.
How to save money
The matrix electricity meter provides high-precision metering of consumed electricity using a differentiated tariff at which the cost of electricity depends on the time of day. The consumer can independently set for himself a suitable mode of operation of household appliances in order to pay less for electricity.
By installing the Matrix meter, electricity consumers deprive themselves of the risk of theft of electricity by unscrupulous people. The total loss of electricity of an object can only consist of technical leaks, the amount of additional fees, which are indicated on the receipt in the form of “common house needs” or “electricity losses”, will be significantly reduced. Therefore, conscientious consumers will 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 providing protection against possible short circuits, as well as sudden voltage surges that often occur during leaks. If experts correctly set the configuration of the protective shutdown function, it can help to avoid the risk of costly equipment repair, which will inevitably be necessary in the event of any emergency.
The counter transfers all data to the Center through secure communication protocols. The history of indications is constantly stored in the device’s memory, as well as in the database, due to which any corrections are excluded. If there are any conflicts between the company providing the house with electricity and the consumer, you can study the history of the evidence and understand who is right.
The meter records and instantly transmits to the database all information about attempts to gain unauthorized access to the device, regardless of whether it is in the room or fixed on a post on the street.
Home and Appliance Protection
The counter constantly monitors all network parameters and saves data on the occurrence of any emergency situations. If necessary, the emergency power off function of the integrated power relay is activated.
The device displays the following parameters:
- current;
- power;
- voltage;
- voltage balance;
- temperature;
- differential current.
Tracking of each of these parameters is required to provide protection against various emergency situations: overheating, leakage, voltage imbalance, short circuit and overload. Thus, integrated safety of the power grid and equipment used against possible risks is achieved.
Single phase and three phase
Matrix produces single-phase and three-phase meters. Without problems, you can find a device suitable for your needs in any modern electrical goods store in most cities of Russia. Both types of devices have practically no differences, including cost, so the choice in this case will depend only on the specific requests of the user, as well as on the type of power supply network used in his house.
The manufacturer offers citizens to purchase specialized routers, but their use is mainly relevant for various enterprises. The main difference is high power and significantly higher cost.
Functional Counters Matrix
The Matrix counter 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 counters;
- prompt response to any emergency situations arising in the operation of the power supply network;
- a significant reduction in electricity losses due to phase-balance information, as well as the presence in the design of tamper sensors of metering devices and differential current;
- remote control of meter parameters, monitoring of power consumption by subscribers;
- control of individual energy supply parameters;
- street lighting management;
- data exchange with billing systems for issuing reliable bills for electricity consumed.
Matrix meters are multifunctional devices that perform almost all the tasks necessary to protect the power grid and save energy.
