Elster Electricity, formerly ABB Electricity Metering, introduces A1200 ALPHA meter for IEC Standards Market.Business Editors/Energy Writers RALEIGH, N.C--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2003 Featuring an integrated real-time clock A real-time clock (RTC) is a computer clock (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that keeps track of the current time. Although the term often refers to the devices in personal computers, servers and embedded systems, RTCs are present in almost any electronic and RS-232 or RS-485 communications for 3-phase commercial and light industrial customers Elster Electricity, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , formerly ABB n. 1. Among weavers, yarn for the warp. Hence, Noun 1. ABB - an urban hit squad and guerrilla group of the Communist Party in the Philippines; formed in the 1980s Electricity Metering, introduces the A1200 ALPHA(R) meter, the newest member of the ALPHA family of high accuracy, secure electronic revenue meters. Designed specifically for commercial and light industrial utility customers conforming to IEC standards In order to distinguish standards published by the International Electrotechnical Commission numerically from other international standards, their number range was shifted in 1997 by adding 60000. So what used to be called IEC 27 is now officially IEC 60027, and so on. , the A1200 ALPHA meter is a cost-effective solution for many whole current and transformer-rated metering applications. New features distinguish it from other electronic meters in its class including a real-time clock with multi-tariff capabilities, a current transformer A current transformer (CT) is a type of instrument transformer designed to provide a current in its secondary winding proportional to the current flowing in its primary. connection, RS-232 or RS-485 communications, advanced security features, instrumentation data and installation diagnostics. A1200 ALPHA Meter Software provides multi-language support. The A1200 ALPHA meter meets or exceeds IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission 61036 standards for accuracy Class 1.0 for polyphase Pol´y`phase a. 1. (Elec.) Having or producing two or more phases; multiphase; as, a polyphase machine, a machine producing two or more pressure waves of electro-motive force, differing in phase; a meters. The A1200 ALPHA meter is extremely flexible; thirty display quantities can be selected from a total of seventy quantities, including phase currents, energy quantity (kW and kVAR or kVA) per tariff, overload threshold, maximum demand, total operating time, demand reset count, error codes, and many more. The meter can be used for various current and voltage ratings, significantly reducing the energy provider's inventory costs. The A1200 ALPHA meter offers a wide voltage range from 100V line-to-neutral through 415V line-to-line. It also has a 12kV surge protection rating. The A1200 ALPHA meter's accurate and reliable meter data comes from the patented ALPHA meter technology that is currently used in over three million ALPHA electricity meters installed worldwide.
