Custom Sensors
and Transformers
The ever-increasing demand for electric power not only requires
more generating capacity but more efficient use of the electricity
that is available for consumers today. To accomplish this goal
utility companies are turning to ‘smart meters’ which can measure,
monitor, collect and analyze how electricity is being used in the
home or the industrial workspace. Many Smart Meters offer
additional capabilities like remote connect/disconnect of power
or tamper detection circuitry.
Standex Electronics is supplying state of the art technology to help
achieve these Smart Metering goals. Applications include:
Reed switch based sensors that indirectly detect whether the remote
connect/disconnect system has functioned properly. A reed switch
sensor is typically part of a feedback loop that sends a signal to the
Utility’s control center confirming that the meter has executed its
commands correctly. There is no room for error when electricity is
involved.
Reed switch based sensors that are used in anti-tamper circuitry.
This feature is often requested by Utilities on both Smart Meter and
traditional meter applications. Since most meters are installed in
accessible locations an anti-tamper feature can be a critical part of a
robust power network.
Standex is also a world leader in designing and manufacturing custom
current sense transformers, inductors, and chokes for monitoring
power. Future applications include measuring power consumption of
home electronics, home appliances, and other pieces of equipment
as part of a power management system. The more we understand
how we use power, the more intelligent we can be in using it most
efficiently.
