What is PD IEC TR 63213- Power measurement applications about?
PD IEC TR 63213 is a safety standard on power measurement applications.
PD IEC TR 63213 intends to provide state-of-the-art information on the various electricity measurement applications made in the grid (supply side) or in electrical installation (demand side), and on the related standards covering these applications.
PD IEC TR 63213 provides all installations and plants provided for the purpose of generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity.
NOTE: PD IEC TR 63213 does not address measurements made for specific purposes such as protection, control, automation, or indication.
Who is PD IEC TR 63213- Power measurement applications for?
PD IEC TR 63213 on power measurement applications within electrical distribution networks and electrical installations is relevant to:
- Utility engineers
- Facility managers
- Electrical engineers and electricians
- Manufacturers of electronic devices and energy meters
Why should you use PD IEC TR 63213- Power measurement applications?
Utility engineers and facility managers are requesting rich power and energy data from many locations, with guaranteed and reliable accuracy. This data is essential for helping to understand and ensure the reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of their power distribution systems and the energy generated or consumed.
PD IEC TR 63213 offers an overview of the different categories of measurement applications, with detailed descriptions and illustrations of each, including references to the most relevant international standards. PD IEC TR 63213 assists with power quality instruments whose main function is to measure, record, and possibly monitor power quality parameters in power supply systems, and whose measuring methods, active energy meter which is intended to measure active energy by integrating active power with respect to time, reactive energy meter intended to measure reactive energy by integrating reactive power with respect to time and several energy and many other energy meters and power monitoring devices.
Overall, PD IEC TR 63213 is useful as it provides guidance on the process that allows energy suppliers and their consumers to verify that the quality of energy delivered/received fulfils the requirements of a defined contract or regulation.
