Certified Energy Measurement for DC EV Charging
DC fast-charging stations require accurate energy measurement at high current levels to support monitoring, energy management and billing functions. The Lovato DMED403D1500 measures energy directly within the DC charging circuit and is designed specifically for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, where reliable metering over a wide operating range is essential.
MID and Eichrecht certification for imported energy make the DMED403D1500 suitable for charging applications that require certified measurement. The integrated RS485 interface also allows energy information to be communicated to charging controllers, data concentrators and supervisory systems for centralised monitoring and energy accounting.
Typical Applications
- DC electric vehicle charging stations.
- High-power EV fast chargers.
- Public electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
- Commercial and fleet charging installations.
- Certified EV energy billing systems.
- DC charging equipment requiring RS485 energy monitoring.
