Certified DC Energy Measurement for EV Charging Infrastructure
The Lovato DMED404D1500 is designed to measure DC energy directly within high-power electric vehicle charging systems. Its bidirectional measurement capability records energy flowing both into and out of the monitored circuit, supporting detailed energy accounting and advanced charging applications where power flow may occur in either direction.
RS485 and Ethernet connectivity allow the meter to exchange measurement data with EV charging controllers, backend systems, energy-management platforms and supervisory networks. Combined with MID and Eichrecht certification for imported energy, this makes the DMED404D1500 particularly suitable for charging installations where accurate, traceable and network-connected energy metering is essential.
Typical Applications
- High-power DC electric vehicle charging stations.
- EV charging systems requiring certified imported energy metering.
- Public and commercial rapid-charging infrastructure.
- Fleet and depot charging installations.
- Networked EV charging and energy-management systems.
- Bidirectional DC energy monitoring applications.
