EMC tests for energy meters, as per standards like IEC62052-11:2020, are crucial for ensuring compliance and reliability. These tests evaluate the meters’ ability to withstand electromagnetic disturbances and control their emissions, enabling harmonious operation in diverse electrical environments.

The effect of solar radiation on the measurement of electronic energy meters is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by various factors such as the intensity and duration of exposure to solar radiation, the orientation and location of the meter, and the temperature of the environment.

This type of test is carried out in order to ensure that the meter has been designed and manufactured to the required standard and will withstand impacts caused by external forces, such as hail and moving objects due to high wind loads.

The glow wire flammability test is used to simulate the effect of heat that may occur in malfunctioning electrical energy meters, such as when components are overloaded or glowing.

The proper energy registration is the essential part for energy meters. Bills are issued according to the register readings.

Power consumption is part of the technical losses. The utilities are bearing these costs. The end-user is not charged.

A test bench consists of several elements which can introduce additional variable errors.

Energy meters have certain characteristics, including maximum current. It is the basis for all types of meter tests.

The IEC 62052-11 Edition 2 has introduced some changes for the meter marking and documentation. Today we cover the mandatory content of the nameplate for IEC meters.

The IEC 62052-11 Ed.2 comes with a lot of changes for meter type testing. Another new introduced test for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ring wave immunity test.
