Electronic polyphase meter

Electronic polyphase meter -alpha A1440

Electronic polyphase meter for sophisticated applications in the field of electricity power supply
With the deregulation of the energy market, in combination with a changing cost situation, new flexible tariff structures and a modern energy management was required. Remote metering and the standardisation process became an essential importance . With the alpha meter A1440, the conditions for precise measurement, safe data storage and reliable data transfer have been created.

The alpha meter is available either for direct or CT/VT connection. The meter is in accordance with the relevant DIN, IEC and MID standards and follows the requirements of VDEW V2.1 for electronic electricity meters.
