Cable For Energy Meter Network
Cable For Energy Meter Network
Electronic energy meters steadily are replacing the historical, electromechanical meters in industrial plants, commercial buildings and domestic communities. These new type meters can record energy usage at different forms of power to enable multi-rate billing. An electronic energy meter [e-meter] inherently is programmable, allowing a basic hardware design to be easily reconfigured by software for different applications. A major benefit is the provision of automatic meter reading (AMR), the ability to collect data via networked communication. Because energy meters operate in harsh and noisy environments, robust RS-485 differential signalling has become the preferred method of remote data transmission. Apart from equipment design using RS-485 communication, which must maintain the balance signalling approach of the connecting network, cable selection becomes critical and important. Belden 3105A is one of the most popular industrial RS485 cables used for energy metering applications. Bolden’s 22 AWG 1 pair cable has a Datalene® insulation along with 100% Beldfoil® shield coverage. It has been specially designed with an oil and UV resistant jacket to withstand robust and harsh environments. Manufactured by Belden, one of the largest US based manufacturers of high-speed electronic cables for industrial, data, automation and robotic applications and these cables are distributed in India.
