Electro
Industries/GaugeTech introduces industry leading metering
technology. Designed to address the most demanding applications,
the Shark 100 surpasses others providing advanced performance
metering in a low cost, compact, panel meter design.
Based on an all new platform, this meter significantly
outperforms other devices many times its price. This
unit is perfect for new metering applications and for
a simple replacement to existing analog meters.
The
unit utilizes high speed DSP technology with high resolution
A/D conversion to provide revenue certifiable accuracy
for Utility Billing, Substation Metering, Sub-metering
and Critical Metering applications.
New
V-Switch® Technology
The
Shark 100 is equipped with EIG’s exclusive
V-Switch® Technology. V-Switch®, virtual
switch technology allows users, OEMs or Power
Utilities to minimize different levels of meters
and reduce stocking to one type of hardware. In
this manner, the meter can be expanded to meet
the specific application even after installation.
Using V-Switches, you can purchase what you require
now and field upgrade functionality as needed,
which allows you to optimize your investment.
Advanced versions of the Shark 100 (V3 and V4)
also include DNP 3.0 communication protocol.
Accuracy
percentage of Voltage L-N, Voltage L-L, and Current
is 0.1%. For Watts, Wh, VARs, VARh, VA, Vah, and PF
the accuracy is 0.2%. Accuracy for Frequency is 0.01
Hz, %THD is 1%, and for % load bar 1-120% readings.
The
Shark 100 is a traceable revenue meter, that contains
a utility grade test pulse allowing power providers
to verify and confirm that the meter is performing to
its rated accuracy.
Easy
to Use and Install
The Shark 100 was engineered to be as easy to use and
install as possible. From user interface to mechanical
construction, many hours were spent to make the Shark
straightforward and intuitive so an installer with minimal
meter experience and training can succeed with the product.
Shark is programmed using a PDA, a PC Computer or through
a simple keypad interface. By using the PC or PDA, a technician
or electrician can see a visual phasor diagram of the
vectors insuring that CT and Voltage polarities are correct.
All inputs are color coordinated and have clear simple
to understand labeling to avoid cross wiring mistakes.

Superior
Voltage and Current Inputs
Ruggedly designed for harsh electrical applications
on both high and low voltage power systems.
Voltage inputs allow measurement to 416 Volts Line
to Neutral and 721 Volts Line to Line, which ensures
proper meter safety when wiring directly to high voltage
systems.
Current inputs use a dual input method: CT Pass Through
and Current “Gills”
CT Pass Through – Preferable to utility users
when sharing relay class CTs because the CT passes
directly through the meter without any physical termination
on the meter, which ensures the meter cannot be a
point of failure on the CT circuit.
Current “Gills” – This method provides
additional ultra rugged termination pass-through bars,
allowing the CT leads to be terminated on the meter.
Utility
Peak Demand Metering
The
Shark 100 provides user configured fixed window or rolling
window demand. This all you to set up the particular utility
demand profile. A Fixed window demand is the demand used
over a user configured demand period (usually 5, 15 or
30 minutes). A rolling window demand is a fixed window
demand that moves for a user specified sub-interval period.
An example is would be a 15 minute demand using 3 sub-interval
provides a new demand reading every 5 minutes based on
the last 15 minutes. Readings for kW, kVAR, kVA and PF
are calculated using utility demand features. All other
parameters offer max and min capability over the user
selectable averaging period. Voltage provides an instantaneous
max and min reading displaying the highest surge and lowest
sag seen by the meter.
Physical
Configuration
The unit mounts directly in an ANSI C39.1 (4”
Round form) and an IEC 92 mm DIN square form. This
is perfect for new installations and for existing
panels. In new installations, simply use existing
DIN or ANSI punches. For existing panels, pull out
old analog meters and place this meter in its place.
The meter uses standard voltage and current inputs
so that CT and PT wiring does not need to be replaced.
