3 Phase Power Supply
How to read your meter Three-Phase AMI Smart Meter
For Meter Code 0530
The U3300 electronic meter is Western Power’s trial meter as part of a trial of the use of smart meters, also known as advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). It is a three-phase meter for direct metering installations with a capacity of up to 100 amperes. This smart meter is capable of two-way communication between the meter and Western Power. The smart meter will also provide improved accuracy of meter readings, early detection of power quality issues, remote disconnection of power and improved monitoring of power outages to assist maintenance crews in reducing restoration times.
The first four digits of the serial number for this type of meter start with 0530xxxxxx. This meter has a liquid crystal display (LCD) to show the electricity consumption that is being recorded. It is also capable of storing interval data (load profile) that can be downloaded. The meter is programmable for time-of-use (TOU) metering, and is capable of bi-directional (import - export) measurement and recording of energy.
1 Communication Module Cover It protects the communication module of the meter, and provides easy access for technician during maintenance. 2 Nameplate Label Gives the basic technical information about the meter and its serial number. Each meter is assigned a unique individual serial number, and the first four digits are the meter code followed by a six digit serial number. 3 LCD This is the display which shows the total electricity consumption, and for the smart power tariff, it will also display the electricity consumption of the different tariff rates. The meter is also programmed to display the time and date. 4 Test LEDs (Wh and VArh) The light (LED) will pulse (on & off) when electricity is being used, and these pulses get faster as electricity consumption increases. 5 Phase Indicators These indicate the active voltage presents of each phase.
