Overview
Whether the billing data is simple (kWh energy and maximum demand)
or complex (kWh and kVARh, kW and kVAR demand, and power factor
coincident with kW maximum demand)—the W-WIC retrieves the data
directly from the A3 ALPHA meter registers and transmits the information
over the cellular network to the utility’s head-end system. The A3 ALPHA
meter with W-WIC can be configured to support the following:
or complex (kWh and kVARh, kW and kVAR demand, and power factor
coincident with kW maximum demand)—the W-WIC retrieves the data
directly from the A3 ALPHA meter registers and transmits the information
over the cellular network to the utility’s head-end system. The A3 ALPHA
meter with W-WIC can be configured to support the following:
- energy consumption
- demand
- time-of-use (TOU)
- reactive energy measurement and demand
- apparent energy and demand
- power factor
- bidirectional energy
- instrumentation values (such as per phase voltage)
- load profile
