Meter Site Analyzer
6330
-
Need an all-in-one field test kit? TESCO’s Meter Site Analyzer is the most versatile and complete tool for testing the entire functionality of transformer-rated metering installations in a convenient, portable, and ULTRA lightweight kit—only 17.8 lbs! As a utility, the vast majority of revenue comes from large customers who have transformer-rated services. At transformer rated sites the opportunity for something to go wrong is much greater than at a self-contained site. Studies have shown that at transformer-rated sites, the vast majority of issues are related to wiring, CTs, PTs and other issues. If you want to be sure that the customer is billed correctly and you are not losing revenue, you must test the whole site, not just the meter. TESCO’s all-in-one 6330 Meter Site Analyzer gives you the most versatile site testing tool available in a small, lightweight package. No other test system has the functionality of:

IEC Standard Burden Sets (Current)
IEC Burden Sets
-
Testing and calibrating current transformers often requires standard burdens of reliable accuracy and stability, and burdens that are immune to stray fields and harmonics. These burden sets have been carefully designed to meet these requirements. They also provide the standard burdens required for the testing of current transformers for metering service, and for the testing (within the current rating provided by the sets) of current transformers for relaying applications, all as called for by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Publication 185: 1987.

Signal Strength Analyzer
1160
-
Eliminate trips to a site with TESCO’s CAT. 1160 Signal Strength Analyzer. When a meter is not reporting reliably to the Head-end, or for a new meter, concentrator, or antenna installation, TESCO’s SSA will show you the best location for the equipment. Be certain that your antenna placement is in the best location. The SSA actually joins the network, locates and analyzes all the neighbors, and provides a visual indication of the relative signal strength, quality, and throughput of each of them.
