Meter testing technology and smart meter testing at the ZERA booth
ZERA will be showcasing the [details of the event/activity] at its booth. STM6000 measuring systems For the digital testing of smart meters and smart meter gateways. In addition to metrological testing, the STM6000 series also enables comprehensive communication tests according to current standards. Stationary Complete systems of the ZPE series complements the portfolio for automated meter testing in the laboratory.
ZERA presents for field testing MT series portable test countersThe devices achieve accuracy classes down to 0,02% and are suitable for on-site verification of active and reactive energy meters. The WinSAM control software enables the integration of all testing systems into existing laboratory workflows.
In addition, ZERA will be showcasing stationary source and test systems from the MTS series for the Meter test in AC and DCWith the growing demand for DC meter testing technology for applications in electromobility and decentralized energy generation, ZERA is also addressing this future-oriented topic. EMOB500 test device The mobile verification of charging stations rounds off the trade fair program.
CIRED Kopaonik as a specialist forum for energy distribution and measurement technology
CIRED Serbia has been bringing together energy distribution experts from Southeast Europe and internationally since 1998. The 15th edition focuses on smart grids, the digitalization of distribution networks, the grid integration of renewable energies, and the further development of intelligent metering systems. ZERA, a specialist in metrological testing methods, participates in this international exchange of expertise.
The regulatory framework for testing energy meters and smart metering systems presents distribution network operators with complex requirements. The choice of the appropriate testing system depends on the specific application and the required accuracy class. Key standards and their areas of application are summarized below:
- IEC 62052 – General requirements for electricity meters
- IEC 62053 – Special requirements for active and reactive energy meters
- IEC 62058 – Acceptance testing of electricity meters
- IEC 62056 (DLMS/COSEM) – Data exchange for remote meter reading
- MID 2014/32/EU – European Measuring Instruments Directive
- EN 50470 – AC electricity meters, requirements and testing
ZERA testing systems meet the requirements of these standards and support distribution network operators in standards-compliant verification. At CIRED Serbia, trade visitors can learn about the individual testing methods and their practical implementation. The focus is on the combination of metrological precision and international project experience.
