Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC - Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures - Part 12: Power metering and monitoring devices (PMD)

This part of IEC 61557 specifies requirements for power metering and monitoring devices (PMD) that measure and monitor the electrical quantities within electrical distribution systems, and optionally other external signals. These requirements also defin the performance of PMD in single- and three-phace AC or DC systems having rated voltages up to 1000 V AC or up to 1500 V DC. These devices are fixed or portable. They are intended to be used indoors and/or outdoors. Power metering and monitoring devices (PMD), as defined in this document, give additional safety information, which aids the verification of the installation and enhances the performance of the distribution systems. Additionally, this document specifies requirements for measurement functions dedicated to metering and monitoring of electrical parameters called power metering and monitoring function (PMF) which can be embedded in equipment (EMPF) that is not classified as PMD and for which the main function is not power metering and monitoring. Requirements for power metering and monitoring function (PMF) and additional requirements for equipments embedding power metering and monitoring function (EPMF) are described in Annex H. The power metering and monitoring devices (PMD) for electrical parameters described in this document are used for general industrial and commercial applications. This document does not address functional safety and cyber security aspects. This document is not applicable to: - electricity metering equipment that complies with IEC 62053-21, IEC 62053-22, IEC 62053-23 and IEC 62053-24. Nevertheless, uncertainties defined in this document for active and reactive energy measurement are derived from those defined in IEC 62053 (all parts); - the measurement and monitoring of electrical parameters defined in IEC 61557-2 to IEC 61557-9 and IEC 61557-13 or in IEC 62020; - power quality instrument (PQI) according IEC 62586 (all parts); - devices covered by IEC 60051 (all parts) (direct acting analogue electrical measuring instrument). Note 1 Generally such types of devices are used in the following applications or for the following general needs: - energy management inside the installation, such as facilitating the implementation of documents such as ISO 50001 and IEC 60364-8-1; - monitoring and/or measurement of electrical parameters; - measurement and/or monitoring of the quality of energy inside commercial/industrial installations. Note 2 A measuring and monitoring device of electrical parameters usually consists of several functional modules. All or some of the functional modules are combined in one device. Examples of fuctnional modules are: - measurement and monitoring of several electrical parameters simultaneously; - energy measurement and/or monitoring, as well as sometimes compliance with aspects of building regulations; - alarms functions; - demand side quality (current and voltage harmonics, over/under voltages, voltage dips and swells, etc.). Note 3 PMD are historically called power meter, power monitor, power monitor device, power energy monitoring device, power analyser, multifunction meter, measuring multifunction equipment, energe meters. Note 4 Metering, measuring and monitoring applications are explained in Annex A.

FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international

co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and

in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their

preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising

with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between

any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

1 Scope
Replace the existing text of this clause by the following new text:

This part of IEC 61557 specifies requirements for power metering and monitoring devices (PMD)

that measure and monitor the electrical quantities within electrical distribution systems, and

optionally other external signals. These requirements also define the performance of PMD in

single- and three-phase AC or DC systems having rated voltages up to 1 000 V AC or up to

1 500 V DC.

These devices are fixed or portable. They are intended to be used indoors and/or outdoors.

Power metering and monitoring devices (PMD), as defined in this document, give additional

safety information, which aids the verification of the installation and enhances the performance

of the distribution systems.

Additionally, this document specifies requirements for measurement functions dedicated to

metering and monitoring of electrical parameters called power metering and monitoring function

(PMF) which can be embedded in equipment (EPMF) that is not classified as PMD and for which

the main function is not power metering and monitoring.

Requirements for power metering and monitoring function (PMF) and additional requirements

for equipment embedding power metering and monitoring function (EPMF) are described in

Annex H.

The power metering and monitoring devices (PMD) for electrical parameters described in this

document are used for general industrial and commercial applications.

The power metering and monitoring devices (PMD) can be associated with sensing devices

such as but not limited to instruments transformers compliant to IEC 61869 series of standards

or with transducers compliant to IEC 60688.
This document does not address functional safety and cyber security aspects.

67 FOREWORD

68 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical

69 committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization

70 in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical

71 Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their

72 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this

73 preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation.

74 IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement

75 between the two organizations.

76 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the

77 relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.

78 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While

79 all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the

80 way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.

81 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum

82 extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or

83 regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

84 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in

85 some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.

86 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

87 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical

88 committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct

89 or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any

90 other IEC Publications.

91 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct

92 application of this publication.

93 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held

94 responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

95 International Standard IEC 61557-12 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 85: Measuring equipment for

96 electrical and electromagnetic quantities.

97 This amendment completes the second edition published in 2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

138 Replace by the following:

139 This part of IEC 61557 specifies requirements for power metering and monitoring devices (PMD) that measure and

140 monitor the electrical quantities within electrical distribution systems, and optionally other external signals. These

141 requirements also define the performance of PMD in single- and three-phase AC or DC systems having rated voltages

142 up to 1 000 V AC or up to 1 500 V DC.

143 These devices are fixed or portable. They are intended to be used indoors and/or outdoors.

144 Power metering and monitoring devices (PMD), as defined in this document, give additional safety information, which

145 aids the verification of the installation and enhances the performance of the distribution systems.

146 Additionally, this document specifies requirements for measurement functions dedicated to metering and monitoring of

147 electrical parameters called power metering and monitoring function (PMF) which can be embedded in equipment

148 (EPMF) that is not classified as PMD and for which the main function is not power metering and monitoring.

149 Requirements for power metering and monitoring function (PMF) and additional requirements for equipment embedding

150 power metering and monitoring function (EPMF) are described in. Annex H.

151 The power metering and monitoring devices (PMD) for electrical parameters described in this document are used for

152 general industrial and commercial applications.
153 This document does not address functional safety and cyber security aspects.
154 This document is not applicable to:

155 – electricity metering equipment that complies with IEC 62053-21, IEC 62053-22, IEC 62053-23and IEC 62053-24.

156 Nevertheless, uncertainties defined in this document for active and reactive energy measurement are derived from

157 those defined in IEC 62053 (all parts);

158 – the measurement and monitoring of electrical parameters defined in IEC 61557-2 to IEC 61557-9 and IEC 61557-13

164 – monitoring and/or measurement of electrical parameters;

165 – measurement and/or monitoring of the quality of energy inside commercial/industrial installations.

166 NOTE 2 A measuring and monitoring device of electrical parameters usually consists of several functional modules. All or some of the functional

167 modules are combined in one device. Examples of functional modules are:

168 – measurement and monitoring of several electrical parameters simultaneously;

169 – energy measurement and/or monitoring, as well as sometimes compliance with aspects of building regulations;

170 – alarms functions;

171 – demand side quality (current and voltage harmonics, over/under voltages, voltage dips and swells, etc.).
