DC Grid Meter

metering - measuring - monitoring

The DC Grid industry is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, improvements in energy efficiency, and the need for reliable decentralized power solutions.

Based on our in-house developed 3D-Hall ASIC (AST proprietary), our DC Meter enables a continuously highly precise and bidirectional measurement of transferred energy.

This impressive performance makes the DC energy meter particularly suitable for industrial applications, mobility solutions, and use in hybrid AC/DC microgrid systems.

Certification and Compliance

Our DC energy meters are certified according to:

  • German Calibration Law: Module B (Production site according to Module D)

  • MID 2014/32/EU: EN 50470-4, IEC 62052-31

  • UL 61010­­­

  • French Calibration Law: Décision n° 22.00.570.001.1 dated March 1, 2022

Our DC Meters comply with the accuracy requirements of Class B (MID 2014/32/EU) and Accuracy Class 1 of IEC62053-41:2021.
