Univerzální PQ monitor MEg45DIN 1/ INTRODUCTION The MEg45DIN universal PQ monitor is designed for measuring and indicating protec- tive functions at the LV level. It transmits measured data and evaluated conditions safely via ETH interface and GSM network even after a power failure of all three phases. It measures three voltages, three currents and two temperatures.

With the exception of the WebDator2 program, the mentioned programs, including their manuals, are available at http://www.e-mega.cz/DL/ The MEg45DIN PQ monitor also enables work with third-party SW through the MOD- BUS RTU protocol, or it can transmit measured data as set via EN 60870-5-104 or DLMS/COSEM protocol.
3/ DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT 3.1 Design The MEg45DIN monitor in Fig. 1 is designed for fixed installation on a DIN TS35 rail. It is housed in a polycarbonate self-extinguished box measuring 108 × 90 × 61 mm. The structural elements of the MEg45DIN monitor are shown in Fig. 2. Above the monitor panel is a tilting transparent cover that can be sealed to protect the SIM card inside the monitor panel.

Voltage, power supply and the design are the same for all versions. Volt- age inputs that are also used for three-phase AC power supply have a rated phase voltage value of 230 V.
Universal PQ Monitor MEg45DIN – User manual 3.2 Functions of the monitor The MEg45DIN universal monitor is a class A or S instrument whose measurement methods meet the requirements of class A according to EN 61000-4-30, ed.3. The meas- urement methods and uncertainties of the measured quantities are tested according to EN 62586-2 and the effects of operating conditions according to the procedures spec- ified in EN 62586-1.
Page 12
To synchronize the function of multiple monitors, the positive zero-crossing of the first phase fundamental harmonic voltage can be used. The MEg45DIN universal PQ monitor has secure data transmission with IKEv2/IPsec and L2TP/IPsec protocols. The SSH protocol can be used to connect for management of the Linux Debian system, running on the ARM core of the processor and enabling the implementation of advanced communication and other superstructure functions.
