DC Monitoring

DC Measurement

In commercial and industrial applications, the supply and use of direct current (DC) have become increasingly widespread, which has simultaneously increased the demand for precise measurement of DC systems. SATEC offers various products that use the Hall effect for DC measurement, combined with the company's mature high-precision metering, data storage, advanced communication protocols, and control options to enable accurate measurement of DC systems.

Application Areas: DC energy meters, DC billing meters, DC circuit monitoring, bidirectional DC energy meters

• Renewable Energy + DC Storage

Solar photovoltaic and wind power are growing energy sources that include the generation of direct current. Accurate energy measurement and monitoring are required before DC is converted to AC, which is crucial for reflecting true efficiency and conversion losses.

• Transportation + Electric Vehicles

Most countries worldwide are investing heavily in public transportation infrastructure, mainly various types of railways. Electrification is the modern standard, and system designs often use direct current, making DC power measurement essential.

• DC Data Centers

Data centers based on DC system architecture represent a trend toward more economical equipment, less space and maintenance, while improving reliability and efficiency.

• Industrial Production

Electrochemical processes, such as aluminum smelting, are conducted using direct current. These processes consume large amounts of energy and are very sensitive to changes in current supply, making precise measurement critical. Another common example of DC applications is battery charging.
