Measuring peak power for rating plate

I would like to measure the peak power drawn by various pieces of equipment individually so that the figure can be shown on each equipment's rating plate.


I'm considering using the peak demand function on a MID power meter but, using 0.5s/0.2s CTs instead for better accuracy.  Is this approach acceptable?

  • Many thanks for your reply Graham.  Both the BS EN 60204-1 and BS EN 61010-1 would apply to the system.


    Is there any guidance on the type of meter to use for the peak power measurement?


    I'm considering RI-F500 power meters (RI-F500.pdf) with 0.5s CTs, and using the peak demand logging function with all system modes operated?
