Installation Considerations

The installation, operation, and maintenance of the product should be performed only by

qualified, competent personnel that have received appropriate training for high voltage and

current devices.

Caution

If hazardous voltages are mishandled while installing and operating the product in the field, it

can cause serious injury or death.

◼ During normal operation of the product, hazardous voltages are present on the

terminals that connect PTs/CTs, digital inputs, power, and external I/O circuits. The

PT/CT secondary can produce lethal voltage or current caused by the energy of the

primary.

◼ Standard safety precautions should be followed during the installation and maintenance

of the product, including removing PT fuses and shorting CT secondaries.

◼ Install the product in enclosures or a similar cabinet to prevent access to the terminal

strips of the product after wiring.

Caution

Observe the following instructions, or it may cause permanent damage to the product.

◼ Do not apply voltages and currents that exceed the input ratings of the PT and CT to the

product.

◼ Using the device for other purposes not specified by the manufacturer can cause severe

damage to the product.

◼ Connect the chassis ground terminal of the product to the earth ground to protect the

device from noise and surge. Failure to properly connect the chassis ground will void

the warranty of the product.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

Cost-effective Power Meter Providing Digital/Analog Inputs and Outputs

Accura 3500 is an integrated digital power meter that performs power measurements and also

provides digital/analog inputs and outputs. It is cost-effective in that it perfectly suits the needs of

managing various digital and analog inputs and outputs in the field. Thus, Accura 3500

eliminates the need to buy extra RTU products. It can be widely used in manufacturing plants, IBS,

semiconductor plants, etc, where power measurements and the management of inputs and

outputs are required.

Accurate Measurements/ Power Quality Data Available

Measurement accuracy is a key factor that determines the reliability of energy management

systems. Low measurement accuracy causes inconsistency between the energy of the incoming

feeder and the sum of energy measured on the load side. It makes it difficult to perform reliable

energy management. Accura 3500 provides highly accurate measurements of voltage and current

(±0.2% of reading) and meets IEC62053-22 class 0.5S for power and energy measurements. It

helps to address problems caused by measurement errors and allows for efficient energy

management. Accura 3500 provides power quality data such as voltage/current THD, harmonics,

and K-Factor.

Proven Safety and Reliability with CE/UL Certifications

The internal and external structures(the product and circuit design) of Accura 3500 meet safety

requirements for CE(IEC61010) and UL(UL61010-2, 2nd edition) standards. The busbar provided

with the product allows for easier wiring of CTs when installing the product. The busbar minimizes

fire hazards by ensuring safety under an overcurrent condition. And the optic interface between

the meter and connected modules removes risks of electrical hazards.

Easily Attachable I/O Modules

A variety of I/O expansion modules can be easily attached to the rear side of the Accura 3500

device. The I/O modules available include the digital input, digital output, analog input, and

analog output modules. Users can purchase the module they need when ordering the Accura

3500 device.

Applications

True RMS Measurements

Nonlinear loads mainly used in the field include rectifiers and electric furnaces and cause

harmonics that involve severe voltage and current waveform distortion. Accura 3500 performs

true RMS measurements for voltage and current waveforms distorted due to harmonics.

Power Quality Analysis

Accura 3500 provides data on voltage and current THD and K-Factor and allows for the analysis

of voltage and current harmonics up to the 31st order. It allows for effective analysis of power

quality by providing real time data on voltage and current waveforms.

Easily Expandable Module Structure to Suit Various Needs in the Field

I/O expansion modules can be easily added to the rear side of Accura 3500. Thus, its modular

structure helps to meet requirements for various applications in the field. In the existing

IBS(Intelligent Building System), all I/O modules should be connected to the DDC panel. It results

in increased costs and reduced system reliability. The DDC panel can be easily replaceable with

Accura 3500 since the device performs the function of the DDC panel. With reduced costs and

greater system reliability, Accura 3500 helps to establish optimized intelligent building systems.

Ideal for Replacing Analog Meters

Accura 3500 meets both NSI C39.1(4" Round) and DIN 96 standards for installation. It features

the installation dimensions same as those of analog meters. Thus, there is no need to create

cutouts on the panel when installing Accura 3500 in the existing switchgear panels. It makes it

easy to replace analog meters with digital meters.

Highly Reliable Energy Management

Energy management include monitoring energy consumption, managing energy costs and energy

demand, replacing energy facilities, and performing energy planning. In this regard,

measurement accuracy is a key factor that determines the reliability of energy management

systems. Accura 3500 provides highly accurate measurements of voltage and current (±0.2% of

reading) and meets IEC62053-22 class 0.5S for power and energy measurements. It allows for

efficient energy management through accurate measurements
