The energy meter 10 has a built-in programmable memory that stores a unique device address and transformer ratio parameters. The ratio parameters are used to proportionally correct the current / voltage signals collected by the secondary current transformer and output standard metering values. The energy meter 10 collects the CT / PT signals of the main transformer cabinet through the secondary current transformer clip, converts them into measurable low voltage / current, and then calculates accurate electricity consumption data to ultimately achieve safe and efficient transformer power detection. The calculated electricity consumption data is output through the ratio parameters, thereby outputting standard metering values.

The server is configured with a database and a Web interface to store and display the power consumption data uploaded by the energy meter 10 and generate a time-power curve. Therefore, after the microgrid controller 20 in this application automatically reads the data from the energy meter 10, it can upload it to the background data management system via a 4G module (model: EC20) to facilitate remote viewing of the power consumption curve of the transformer, thereby achieving the purpose of remote monitoring in this application.
