Basic description and operation of measuring transducer 2.4 Purpose and use of measuring transducer The instrument is used for monitoring and measuring electric quantities of three-phase electrical power distribution system. The meter is provided with 32 program adjustable alarms, up to four different modules and communication. With the RS232/RS485 and USB communication, the meter can be set and measurements can be checked.
(connection mode, current and voltage transformers ratio …). 3.2 Mounting MT440 measuring transducer is designed for DIN rail mounting. It should be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail by means of two plastic fasteners. Before installation fasteners should be in open position (pulled).
(Example of analog output module as I/O module 1) 3.5 Communication connection MT440 is equipped with one standard (COM1) serial (RS232 or RS485) communication port and one service communication port (USB). Warning! USB communication port is provided with only BASIC insulation and can ONLY be used unconnected to aux.

Type mini B connector. Note When MT440 is connected to a PC through USB communication for the first time, a user is prompted to install a driver. The driver is automatically installed during MiQen software installation. It is also provided on the CD, enclosed in the original shipment package, or can be downloaded from the Iskra MIS web page www.iskra-mis.si.
Connection putting to store, mounting the unit on the DIN rail or the unit operates without USB cover the warranty is void. Also unit returned back without USB cover or with clear indications that it was stored or operated without USB cover on the USB port it will be treated as out of the warranty.

− Standard edition, freeware edition which supports all software functionality except data analysis. For MT440 only standard edition applies since measurement recording and analysis is with MT440 not supported. Devices management Select the instrument in a favorite’s line. Use the network explorer to set and explore the devices network.
Settings Note You can download freeware MiQen (standard edition) from: www.iskra- mis.si 4.3 Setting procedure In order to modify instrument settings with MiQen, current parameters must be loaded first. Instrument settings can be acquired via a communication link (serial or USB) or can be loaded off-line from a file on a local disk.
Settings Average interval The averaging interval defines the refresh rate of measurements on communication and remote display. Temperature unit Choose a unit for temperature display. Maximum demand calculation (MD mode) The instrument provides maximum demand values using thermal function. A thermal function assures exponent thermal characteristic based on simulation of bimetal meters.
Settings Reactive power and energy calculation Two different principles of reactive power and energy calculation are used: Standard method: With this method a reactive power and energy are calculated based on assumption that all power (energy) that is not active is reactive. –...
(depending on a serial number of the meter). The BP password is available in the user support department in ISKRA MIS, and is entered instead of the password PL1 or/and PL2. Do not forget to state the meter serial meter when contacting the personnel in Iskra MIS.
Settings 4.8 Energy Warning! After modification of energy parameters, the energy meters must be reset otherwise all further energy measurements could be incorrect. Active tariff When active tariff is set, one of the tariffs (up to four) is defined as active. Common energy exponent Common energy exponent defines minimal energy that can be displayed on the energy counter.

Settings Output range Defines the shape and up to 5 break points of an analog output. For intrinsic-error for analog outputs with bent or linear zoom characteristic multiply accuracy class with correction factor (c). Correction factor c (the highest value applies): Linear characteristic Bent characteristic ≤...

Settings Pulse output functionality A corresponding energy counter (up to 4) can be assigned to a pulse output. A number of pulses per energy unit, pulse length, and a tariff in which output is active are set. Warning! Pulse parameters are defined by SIST EN 62053−31 standard. In sub- chapter Calculation of recommended pulse parameters below a simplified rule is described to assist you in setting the pulse output parameters.
Alarms are used for alarming exceeded set values of the measured quantities. Alarms setting MT440 supports setting up to 16 alarms in two alarm groups. Alarms can be set for any of measured parameters by setting condition and a limit value.
Measurements 5.1 Introduction In the following chapters the device operation is explained more in detail. 5.2 Supported measurements Selection of supported measurements is changed with the connection settings. All supported measurements could be read via communication (MiQen). 5.3 Available connections Different electric connections are described more in detail in chapter Electric connection on page 10.

Measurements Note For 3b and 3u connection mode, only phase to phase voltages are measured. Because of that factor √3 is applied to calculation of quality considering nominal phase voltage. For 4u connection mode measurements support is same as for 1b. 5.4 Explanation of basic concepts Sample factor −...
Measurements 5.5 Calculation and display of measurements This chapter deals with capture, calculation and display of all supported quantities of measurement. Only the most important equations are described; however, all of them are shown in chapter Equations on page 53 with additional descriptions and explanations. Note Calculation and display of measurements depend on used connection.
Measurements With this method, reactive power (energy) represents only true reactive component of apparent power (energy). All measurements are seen via communication. For more detailed information about calculation see chapter Equations on page 53. Power factor and power angle Power factor is calculated as quotient of active and apparent power for each phase separately (cosϕ...
