Overview AC/DC Measurements dedicated to Rectifier Accura 3550 is a high accuracy digital power meter dedicated to rectifier, suited to power measurements and DC measurements. In rectifier, the existing customers obtain dc voltage and current from analog inputs of RTU after converting signals using separate tranducer. The signal conversion several times deteriorates the overall data reliability, and causes the rising of costs.
