Applications

Function
Measurement, visualisation and logging of voltage, current, frequency, hours of operation, power, energy, cos , etc.

Measurement of all possible electrical values from simple measurement as voltage, current, frequency over more complex such as power and energy, to all-in-one measurement with the netanalysing devices. To avoid down-time due to abnormal situations, i.e. power-supply voltage too high, absorbed power too high, etc., leading to malfunctionning and even break-down of the machinery, the measurement and monitoring of the electrical values like voltage, current, power, energy etc. is an absolute must and even an indespensable asset when it comes to preventive maintenance.

Features
AC measurement devices with analogue as well as with digital technology and readout are available. The simple devices (one measurement only i.e. voltage, current, frequency) are only available in single phase, while the complex devices (more than one measurement i.e. power, energy, netanalyser) are also available in 3-phase execution. High currents can be measured through the intermediate use of a current transformer (for the analogue amp-meter combined with an interchangeable scale-plate). All devices have very good precision and have also a very low self-consumption to limit as much as possible the measurement error. Using one monophase-volt or amp-meter in a 3-phase system is possible by using the appropriate selector switch. The energy meters as well as the netanalysers are true RMS measuring devices. Monitoring and logging all electrical values on to a PC is possible by using the MT PRG software.

Net analysers (Multi Meters)

The series MT DN 1 and MT DN 3 are electronic instruments especially developed for measuring and controlling several electrical parameters such as voltage, current, power, energy, harmonic distortion in a single or three phase network. All the measured values can be viewed in real time on the analyser display or transmitted to a remote display (PC/PLC) through a serial interface RS 485 (except the harmonic waves).
