Main features of the UMG 96RM

MULTIFUNCTIONAL NETWORK ANALYZER

The UMG 96RM multifunction measuring device is primarily designed for use in low-voltage and medium-voltage distribution systems. The device measures harmonics up to the 40th harmonic and has rotating field components. The device has up to four digital inputs and six digital outputs. The measurement data memory is 256 MB.

TARIFFS

The UMG measuring devices offer an extensive selection of tariffs for the reliable and precise recording of working values for individual consumers; up to 14 depending on the device type. Of course, a distinction is made between active energy (reference, supply and without backstop) and reactive energy (inductive, capacitive and without backstop). This means that high and low tariffs can be recorded separately, for example.

HARMONICS

Harmonics are caused by equipment with non-linear characteristics, such as transformers operated in saturation, energy-saving lamps, frequency converters and power electronics. They burden the grid with additional currents and can affect or even destroy equipment. These grid perturbations can be detected and documented using power quality analyzers.

PULSE INPUT/OUTPUT

Pulse inputs can be used to record the values of water and gas meters with UMG measuring devices, for example. The working pulses can be transmitted to a control system, e.g. BMS, PLC, SCADA systems, via pulse outputs as measured value transmitters.

MEASUREMENT ACCURACY

The high measuring accuracy is based on the high sampling rate and very good long-term stability. When used as intended (ambient temperature!), the measuring accuracy is still greater than that of conventional meters as delivered, even after years. Class A certified devices are available for particularly demanding measuring tasks.
