Three phase electricity meters C13
EQ meters in Steel version from ABB
The compact and versatile EQ meter C13 is a three
phase meter with outstanding performance. It can be
used in most of the common applications for reliable
and trustworthy metering of energy usage.
EQ meters C13 is mainly intended for stand-alone
applications.
General features
C13 is a three phase direct connected meter up to 40 A.
The C13 is measuring active energy with accuracy class B
(Cl. 1). The low rated or base currents of this product ensures
high dynamic performance with superior accuracy even at low
currents. Navigation of the meter is easily done via the push-
button below the display. The low power consumption of the
meter, less than 1.5 VA, makes it economical in the long run -
an important feature specially for large meter populations.
Instrumentation
The C13 meter supports reading of instrument values.
A large
number of electrical properties can be read.
• Active power - Total and per phase
• Voltage - Total and per phase
• Current - Total and per phase
• Power factor
Output
The C13 meter has one solid state relay output that can be
used for S0 pulses or as alarm output. C13 can generate
pulses proportionally to the measured energy and the pulses
can be used for various applications such as automatic meter
reading systems etc. When used as alarm the quantity and
levels are easily configured on the meter with the push button.
When used as alarm the output can control an external ap-
paratus like a contactor (connected via an external relay) or an
alarm indicator.
Approvals
The C13 meters are type approved according to IEC as well as
type approved and optionally verified according to MID.
MID is the Measure Instruments Directive 2004/22/EC from
European Commission. The type approval is according to stan-
dards that covers all relevant technical aspects of the meter.
These include climate conditions, electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC), electrical requirements, mechanical requirements and
accuracy.
