Key Benefits
High Measurement Accuracy ACE300 1 16 series meters are designed to meet the most stringent requirements for 14/1 residential, commercial and industrial applications. They are available in a wide variety of configurations to suit the distribution network: Active energy meters Class 1 accuracy for transformer connection Class 2 accuracy for direct and transformer connection Reactive energy meters Class 3 accuracy for direct and transformer connection Class 1 and 2 meters meet IEC 62053-1 (formerly IEC 60521) 1 Class 3 meters meet IEC 60145. Long-term Stability The use of robust construction techniques, precision bearings and a high torque driving system ensure that ACE300 1 16 series meters combine excellent metrological characteristics with 14/1 long-term stability. Accelerated life testing has shown that the Actaris Ferraris meters provide satisfactory operation in networks for more than 40 years. Load Capacities of up to 1000% The ACE300 1 16 series of meters caters for a wide variety of load capacities; models with 14/1 400%, 500%, 600%, 800% and 1000% load capacities are available. Direct Connection up to 160A The layout and diameter of the current terminals in ACE300 C1 series direct connected 14 meters enable currents of up to 160A to be accommodated. The terminals are suitable for copper and aluminium cables. Choice of Connection Styles ACE300 1 16 series meters are available with asymmetrical (DIN) or symmetrical (UTE) 14/1 connections, and can be equipped with optional auxiliary terminals for signalling purposes. Fraud Prevention ACE300 1 16 series meters offer a number of features to help to minimise fraud: 14/1 Main cover and terminal cover can be sealed separately Reverse running stop Voltage links under the main cover (internal voltage links)
