VAR-Z16

The digital power meter VAR-Z16 is a micro-controller based unit which not only measures a host of electrical parameters to display them on a 128 X 64 graphical backlit LCD, but also acts as a comprehensive power factor controlling device due to its sixteen numbers of output relay contacts. There are two alarm relays. These two alarm outputs are individually field programmable to generate alarm as well as the values on which to activate alarm. In addition to this flexibility in terms of power factor controlling, the meter also has one serial port: RS485, supports MODBUS RTU protocol for connections to EMS/SCADA.

The unit is meant for use in three phase four wire systems. The installation type, CT ratios are site selectable.

VAR-Z16 is a versatile meter with a robust electrical load measurement system and consists of all the features needed to implement. It can be configured to suit most control and communication needs.
