At Intersolar North America, Continental Control Systems (CCS) is exhibiting its line of revenue-grade electric power meters, the WattNode Revenue, along with its revenue-grade, split-core current transformers.
WattNode Revenue Meters
Fully tested and compliant to ANSI C12.1, CCS considers the meters to be the most economical revenue-grade meters on the market. Because of their price point and compact design, the company says WattNode Revenue meters are an ideal OEM design-in for PV production monitoring.
The meters are designed for use in any application requiring revenue-grade accuracy and revenue-grade requirements and support the Modbus, BACnet, or LonTalk communications protocol or a pulse output. WattNode Revenue meters are designed for 120/208/240 Vac or 277/480 Vac applications and are UL- and CE-marked. Each meter is calibrated using NIST-traceable equipment and supplied with a certificate of calibration. In addition to revenue-grade, bidirectional energy (kWh) metering, the networkable meters provide dozens of additional measurements: bidirectional power, demand, peak demand, reactive power, voltage, current, power factor and line frequency.
Continental Control Systems WattNode Pulse Option PV
The standard line of WattNode energy meters provides line-powered single- and three-phase, wye, or delta configurations of up to 600 Vac, for load measurements up to 6000 amps. The WattNode BACnet meter has been tested and listed by the BACnet Testing Laboratory and supports full self-discovery of the meter and all of its objects, offering more than 50 electric power-related measurements, 64 addresses and selectable baud rates of up to 76.8K.
The WattNode Pulse Option PV offers an innovative way to receive three independent pulse outputs from a single meter for under $200.
CTL Series Revenue-Grade, Split-Core Current Transformers (CTs)
CCS’s ACT and CTL line of revenue-grade, split-core CTs provide IEEE C57.13 Class 0.6 revenue-grade accuracies along with a UL listing for energy management equipment in accordance with UL 916 and CSA C22.2 No. 610010-1. The result is current transformers for use on loads to 400 amps that combine the ease of installation of an opening CT with the accuracy normally associated with solid-core CTs. With their 333.33 mVac output, they are an ideal companion to the WattNode Revenue meter for revenue-grade electric power metering applications.
