Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

AC/DC Measurements dedicated to Rectifier

Accura 3550 is a high accuracy digital power meter dedicated to rectifier, suited to power

measurements and DC measurements. In rectifier, the existing customers obtain dc voltage and

current from analog inputs of RTU after converting signals using separate tranducer. The signal

conversion several times deteriorates the overall data reliability, and causes the rising of costs. The

device simply replaces the existing RTU using Tranducer, solving the above two problems.

Accuracy, Power Quality

The measuring accuracy is the most important criterion to evaluate the reliability of energy

management system. Actually low accuracy makes it hard for customers to precisely manage

energy, causing inequality of energy between incoming feeder and sum of load sides. Accura

3550 makes ±0.2% high accuracy measurements for voltage and current, and conforms to

IEC62053-22 class 0.5S for power and energy. This makes it possible to solve the problem with

energy inequality. Furthermore the device provides the information of power qualities, such as

voltage/current THD, harmonic analysis, and k factor.

CE/UL Safety and Reliability

The structure- framework, circuit, fire - of Accura 3550 conforms to safety standard,

CE[IEC61010], UL[UL61010-2, 2nd edition]. Particularly the device provides pass-through busbar,

allowing CT leads to be terminated on the device. This eliminates any possible point of failure at

the device. And optic interface between meter and module essentially disturbs danger of the

existing electrical contacts.

Communication[IrDA and RS485]

Accura 3550 provides two independent communication ports. One port provides RS485

communication which supports a variety of applications, such as energy management, IBS, and

SCADA. The Accura also has an optical IrDA port, allowing the device to be set up and

programmed using a PDA. Just point at the meter with IrDA-equipped PDA, so customers can

monitor measurements, harmonic graph, vector diagram, demand trend, and oscilloscope.

Page 14

Rootech provides ‘Accura PDA software” that allows users to simply point at the meter, configure it

and poll readings. See the Accura 3550 Communication User’s Guide for details.

Applications

Measurements dedicated to Rectifier

Rectifier panel guarantees reliability of control power in energy system during the interruption of

power. Accura 3550 is a high accuracy digital power meter dedicated to rectifier, suited to power

measurements, DC measurements, and rectifier status.

True RMS Measurements robust to harmonics

Most of energy environments consist of nonlinear loads, such as industrial load, rectifier, power

electronic device, electric furnace and etc. this causes fatal distortion of voltage and current

waveforms. Accura 3550 makes high accuracy True RMS measurements for voltage and current

distorted with harmonics.

Power Quality Analysis

Accura 3550 provides k factor, analysis of voltage and current up to 31st harmonic, and realtime

waveform of voltage and current.

Compatibility with Analog Meters

Accura 3550 mounts directly in ANSI C39.1[4” Round] or DIN 96. this is perfect for new

installations and for existing panels. In new installations, simply use existing DIN or ANSI punches.

For existing panels, pull out old analog meters and fit the device in its cutout.

High Reliability Energy Management

The most important point to evaluate the overall data reliability of energy management is the

accuracy of meters. Accura 3550 makes ±0.2% high accuracy measurements for voltage and

current, and conforms to IEC62053-22 class 0.5S for power and energy. Energy management

gives customers various services, monitoring, cost curtailment, demand, energy planning, rectifier

management and etc.

ignored within 10msecs after power up.

Note

The Maximums and minimums will not be updated with no power-up.

Chapter 2 Mounting

Environmental Conditions

The Accura 3550 should be mounted in a dry, dirt free location away from heat sources and very

high electric fields. To operate properly and effectively, environmental conditions should range

within the following guidelines

Items Acceptable Range

Position Indoor use

Operating Temp -20 ~ 70°C[-4℉ ~ 158℉]

Storage Temp -40 ~ 85°C[-40℉ ~ 185℉]

Operating Humidity 5 ~ 95% Non condensing

Enclosure Considerations

The enclosure the Accura 3550 is mounted in (typically a switchgear cabinet) should protect the

device from atmospheric contaminants such as oil, moisture, dust, and corrosive vapors, or other

harmful airborne substances. The mounting enclosure should be positioned such that the doors

may be opened fully for easy access to the Accura 3550 wiring and related components to allow

for convenient troubleshooting.

Warning

The meter should be installed in a switchgear cabinet or similar enclosure to ensure the terminal

strips on the meter base are not user accessible after installation.

Mount the meter in a dry location free from dirt and corrosive vapors. Once installed, no cleaning

of the device is necessary.

Page 20

Before You Begin

Before installing the meter, observe the instructions in this guide and read the safety precautions

presented on the “Installation Considerations” page.

Danger

Power up after the voltage and current wiring is completed.
