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

Indoors
Operating Temp
-20 to 70C[-4 to 158℉]
Storage Temp
-40 to 85C[-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.

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.
