APPLICATION

The Calmet TB41 Four Position Meter Test Bench iis used for calibration and simultaneously testing up to four single and three phase electromechanical and electronic active and reactive electricity meters with accuracy referenced to an internal reference meter. The Calmet TB41 economic Test Bench employs modern precision power source with the internal reference (without need to use any additional external reference energy meter). By this conception may be achieved customer orientated solution chracterised by extremaly compact size, light weight, high metrological properites at reasonable price

SOFTWARE

TB PC-Soft

The Calmet TB PC-Soft is a powerful software to expand capabilities of TB41 device of remotely connecting to device via USB, Bluetooth or Ethernet and enable use of a full array of testing and analysis. Software is dedicated for PC computers with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10 and tablets with Windows 8.1/10.

    The TB PC-Soft is used to remote control and monitor of the device and allows to:

  • creating a database for meters and test procedures,
  • verification of power network wiring with measure of power network parameters by displaying of: three phase voltage and current vector, neutral voltage and current vector, direction of vector rotation,
  • testing of electricity meters directly on site,
  • testing of LV and MV current CT and potential PT transformers simultaneously in three phases directly on site,
  • measuring of power quality parameters,
  • store, export to MS Excel, copy to system clipboard and print the result of measurements and tests.
