® ABB i-bus Electricity Meters General information General description The EIB Delta-Meters are a new generation of certified, electronic, electricity ® meters with an integrated ABB i-bus EIB communication interface. The new EIB Delta-Meters are compact, reliable, immune to interference impulses and suitable for use in single-phase and polyphase voltage networks.
EIB Delta-Meter ® ABB i-bus Electricity Meters 1.2 Technical Data Accuracy class: Active energy meter: Class 1 or 2 according to IEC 1036 Reactive energy meter: Class 2 according to IEC 1268 Operating voltage: Nominal voltage: See selection table Permitted deviation: –...
Advisory: – EIB Delta-Meters should be protected from damp, dirt and damage during transport, storage and operation. – EIB Delta-Meters should not be operated outside the specified technical data.
– Direct connected meter max. 65 A (63 A) – Transformer rated meter max. 6 A Seal: To protect the EIB Delta-Meter from being tampered with after installation and programming, it is possible to seal the device at four points.
Electricity Meters Measurement of energy Basic measurement Various measurement methods are used in the EIB Delta-Meters depending techniques on the type of meter. The following equations are vector equations. Measurement method with one measuring element This method only produces the correct result if the phase load is symmetrical.
So that energy consumption can be measured in installations with current and and voltage transformers voltage levels beyond the nominal measuring range of the EIB Delta-Meter, it is necessary to use current and/or voltage transformers. It is important that the secondary current and voltage of the measurement transformers, lie within the permitted measuring ranges of the transformer rated meter.

Electricity Meters Power consumption of the secondary measuring circuits: If current transformers are to be connected to an EIB Delta-Meter, it is necessary to consider the power consumption of the entire secondary measuring circuits when selecting the current transformers, so that accurate measured values are achieved.
Delta-Meter and can also be recorded and processed remotely using the EIB communication interface. In the case of direct connected EIB Delta-Meters, the energy in the LCD display is identical to the energy that has been consumed. If current and/or...
EIB Delta-Meter ® ABB i-bus Electricity Meters Features and functions LCD display In addition to the energy consumption values, the multifunctional LCD display shows the user the parameters outlined below. Active power indicator: The symbol flashes dependent on the instantaneous active power consumption.
The commands are only carried out once the button has been released. If no buttons are pressed for two minutes during the programming, the EIB Delta-Meter cancels the action and jumps back one menu level. This is repeated until the meter is in ‘Normal mode’.
‘Alternative mode’ or Menu mode [3 Error]. A detailed description of the error codes and notes on remedying the fault can be found in section 5.1. Note: So that the EIB Delta-Meters can successfully carry out the installation self-test, the meter must be connected with all phases and there must be a load current of at least 100 mA per phase in the secondary circuit.
Scrolls manually through the individual error codes Back to [3 Error ] Back to ‘Normal mode’ All electrical measured variables, which are measured by the EIB Delta- Network monitoring Meter in order to record the energy consumption, can be displayed on the function LCD display.
* 1 % for class 1 meters Reading out electrical Up to 24 electrical measured variables can be displayed in Menu mode measured variables [4 InStr], depending on the EIB Delta-Meter. All electrical measured variables are secondary values. Button Number Display/comment –...
Combination meter/1.1 Active energy meter/1.1: The application software “Active energy meter/1.1” can be used for all EIB Delta-Meter electricity meters except for the tariff and combination meters. This applies irrespective of other meter properties (e.g. whether the meter is a direct connected or transformer rated meter, is used for two-, three- or four-wire systems or which operating voltage the meter is connected to).
The three application programs “Active energy meter/1.1”, “Tariff meter/1.1” and “Combination meter/1.1” have various communication objects according to the functionality of the EIB Delta-Meter (see graphic). Many of the communication objects are dynamic and only visible if the corresponding parameters have been activated in the application software.

4 byte object) is sent as an “overload signal”. Request meter reading [EIS 1; switching]: The read request for the current meter readings of the EIB Delta-Meter is transferred to the meter via the 1 bit input communication object “Request meter reading”. Once a request signal telegram with the value “1”...

“0”: No fault Fault acknowledgement [EIS 1; switching]: The 1 bit input communication object enables the EIB Delta-Meter to be reset after an error has occured and is only visible if the parameter “Fault acknowledgement” in the parameter window “Status” is activated. The error message is only reset after an acknowledgement if all the errors have previously been rectified.
The reaction of the EIB Delta-Meter to a Reset or the restoration of the bus voltage is dependent on the application software used and the parameter settings. This is described in detail in the respective sections concerning the...
Transmission delay T = “Device number” x “Base delay time”. In this way, it is possible to assemble groups of EIB Delta-Meters (up to 128 per group) with the same base delay time. A number is assigned to each of the Delta-Meters in the group using the parameter “Device number”.
Meter readings defined in the parameter window “Meter readings”. Do not send: If this setting is selected, the EIB Delta-Meter does not automatically send its meter reading on the bus. It is only possible to read out the current meter readings by reading out the object values via “Value_Read”, e.g., using the EIB Tool Software ETS.
Send reading on change of more than +/-: The instantaneous power is ® sent via the ABB i-bus EIB as a 2 byte telegram (also 4 byte for reactive power). In order to reduce telegram traffic, e.g., in installations where the...
EIB Tool Software ETS. If “yes” is selected, the status byte is sent after each change via the ® communication object “Status byte” via the ABB i-bus EIB, once the transmission delay T has elapsed (if selected).
EIB Delta-Meter ® ABB i-bus Electricity Meters General Once the installation self-test has been carried out, possible errors are Error codes displayed in ‘Menu mode’ as installation error codes. The displayed [3 Error] error codes can have different meanings for two-wire, single-phase meters or three-wire and four-wire, polyphase meters.
