Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

AC/DC Power Measurements for Rectifier Panels

Accura 3550S is a high accuracy digital power meter for rectifier panels and performs both AC

and DC power measurements. In existing rectifier panels, DC transducers are used to measure

DC voltages and currents and converted them into analog signals, and users can get the data via

analog inputs of the RTU. However, multiple signal conversions during the process decreases the

reliability of the data, and purchasing the RTU also increases the system’s total cost. Accura 3550S

directly measures DC voltages and currents(with a shunt resistor) without needing to install the TD.

By doing so, it helps solve the data reliability issue. The device is also cost-effective in that it can

replace the RTU by performing the function of the RTU.

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 3500S provides highly accurate measurements of voltage and

current (±0.2% of reading) and meets IEC 62053-22 class 0.5S for power and energy

measurements. It helps to address problems caused by measurement errors and allows for

efficient energy management. It also provides a range of power quality data, including

voltage/current harmonics and THD and K-Factor.

Proven Safety and Reliability with CE/UL Certifications

The internal and external structures(the product and circuit design) of Accura 3550S meet safety requirements

for CE(IEC61010) and UL(UL61010-2, 2nd edition) standards. A busbar is provided with the product 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 the connected modules removes risks

of electrical hazards that may occur when attaching/detaching the modules.

Applications

Power Measurements for Rectifier Panels

Rectifier panels ensure reliability of power supply during power interruptions in that all the

equipment use the DC power of the rectifier panel as the power supply. Designed specifically for

use with rectifier panels, Accura 3550S performs not only AC power measurements for the input

parameter, but also DC power measurements for the output parameter. It also provides data on

the status of the rectifier.

True RMS Measurements

Harmonics can cause severe distortion in input voltage and current waveforms measured in the

rectifier panel. Accura 3550S performs true RMS measurements for voltage and current

waveforms distorted due to harmonics.

Power Quality Analysis

Accura 3550S 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.

Ideal for Replacing Analog Meters

Accura 3550S 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 3550S in the existing switchgear panels. It makes it

easy to replace analog meters with digital meters.

Highly Reliable Energy Management

Energy management includes monitoring energy consumption, managing energy costs and

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

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

systems. Accura 3550S provides highly accurate measurements of voltage and current (±0.2% of

reading) and meets IEC 62053-22 class 0.5S for power and energy measurements. It allows for

efficient energy management through accurate measurements.

Chapter 2 Mounting

Environmental Conditions

The Accura 3550S 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

Environmental Conditions

Installation location

Indoors

Operating Temp

-20 to 70C[-4 to 158℉]

Storage Temp

-40 to 85C[-40 to 185℉]

Operating Humidity

5 - 95%(non-condensing)

Caution

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 17

Before You Begin

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

presented on the “Installation Considerations” page.

PT[Potential Transformer]

PTs are required for all systems with voltage levels greater than these above. The meter inputs can

be used with PTs that have secondaries rated between AC 0V and 457V. PTs should comply with

IEC 61010-1 2nd Edition, Pollution Degree 2, Overvoltage Category Ⅲ.

Caution

In case where PTs are required, fuses should be installed on the secondary of the PTs.
