New integrated dc meter designed for EV charging stations

By Michelle Froese | November 21, 2024

The global shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy solutions has increased the demand for accurate and reliable dc metering technologies. Dc meters play a crucial role in EV charging systems, where precise energy measurement is vital to ensure transparency, efficiency, and fairness for operators and consumers.

The CHINT CHX120 is an innovative dc meter designed specifically for EV charging stations and other high-demand dc metering environments.

Key features include:

  • Integrated design: Shunt and meter combined in a single unit, reducing space and simplifying installation.
  • High-precision measurement: Accurate readings for forward and reverse energy flows, ensuring reliable billing.
  • Multi-tariff and time-period support: Supports up to 12 tariffs and 24 time periods for flexible energy pricing.
  • Intelligent temperature monitoring: Monitors temperature to ensure safe operation and extend equipment lifespan.
  • Strong communication compatibility: Compatible with RS-485, Modbus, and other protocols for seamless system integration.
  • Diverse shunt specifications: Offers various shunt sizes, supporting currents up to 650A for high-power applications.
  • Dual sealing: Features physical and electronic seals for enhanced security and tamper resistance.
  • Strong data storage functionality: Stores up to 100 charging cycles and preserves data for 10 years during power outages.

Dc meters are essential components in modern energy systems, particularly in EV charging infrastructure. The CHX120 is a dc energy meter that combines advanced technology and a practical design. It accurately measures energy consumption, communicate data remotely, and integrate seamlessly into complex systems.
