Today, I will talk about the solution adopted for managing the energy meters from the manufacturer Carlo Gavazzi, which we discussed in the previous article. This solution is the UWP 4.0 Monitoring and Control Gateway, developed by the same manufacturer, Carlo Gavazzi. This solution was the most suitable due to the time required for system integration and testing. Since it is from the same manufacturer, all the meters and devices developed have the libraries, or drivers if you prefer, included in the Gateway, making integration almost instantaneous.

Today we will discuss energy meters used to measure consumption, voltage, current, network frequency, power factor, active power, reactive power, apparent power, etc.

Nowadays, the field of energy consumption analysis is gaining relevance whenever a new project begins. In the hotels where we design all the electrotechnical components from scratch, from the arrival of the medium voltage electrical network, through the step-down transformers, main low voltage switchboard (QGBT), subpanels, floor panels, and other panel it is common to install meters on both the normal power busbar and the safety busbar supported by the Generator set.
