MeterTest
The ASTeL 2 meter testing system is a fully
automatic system enabling simultaneous, multiposition calibration and legalization of single-phase
and three-phase electric energy meters. The
automatics include power sources, reference standards,
stand controllers, photoelectric scanning heads,
separating transformers and other elements of the
system. All these elements are controlled through a
Windows® based executive program.
The use of the-latest-design signal processors
and advanced technologies of signals synthesis, as
well as the unmatched precision, quality and
functionality qualify the system for testing all kinds of
electric energy meters available on the market, form
the simplest electromechanical ones to multi-functional
electronic meters, including the prepaid, multi-system,
multi-quadrant meters with power recorders, and other.
For determining the tested meters errors, the
ASTeL 2 system employs the reference standard meter
method. The error of the tested meter is determined by
counting impulses generated by the reference standard
within gating time determined with the photoelectric
scanning head, which detects the meter disc movement
or with the LED flash of the tested meter. All kinds of
other tests indicated in the subject norms are available,
such as the test of no-load condition, the test of starting
condition, the test of meter constant, the test of
maximum power demand indicator, and many other.

An important feature of the system is the fact that it
performs automatically
additional operations
facilitating the testing process, which are not defined in
an open way, e.g. the system automatically sets tested
meters in the mark-in-front position before performing
the test of no-load condition or the test of starting
condition.
The ASTeL 2 system is a modular construction
and the user has a great influence on its final
arrangement and functionality. The basic functional
blocks are the power source, the reference standard, the
suspension racks with stand controllers and the
computer station with the operating software. A whole
range of options and additional accessories are
available. The table containing the list of the system
basic performance, represented on the next page, may
provide help in identifying own individual needs. There
are, among others, single-phase systems, three-phase
ones, of different class and different number of
measuring positions. A list of available accessories is
also presented in the table.
Thanks to excellent parameters, great
functionality and flexibility the ASTeL 2 systems find
application in utility companies, energy meter
manufacturers, governmental bureaus of metrology and
other customers interested in electricity meters testing.
