OWON Smart Meter Monitors: Core Technology and Functionality
OWON's smart meter monitor portfolio combines industrial-grade hardware with intelligent software, catering to residential, commercial, and industrial applications:
1. Real-Time Data Acquisition and Analysis
OWON's smart meters, such as the PC 311 Single-Phase Power Meter and PC 321 Three-Phase Power Meter, enable granular monitoring of electrical parameters, including:
- Bidirectional energy measurement (consumption and solar production) for net metering applications;
- Real-time tracking of voltage, current, power factor, and frequency;
- Multi-circuit monitoring via models like the PC 341-3M16S, which supports up to 16 individual circuits with 50A sub CTs for appliance-level visibility.
2. Multi-Protocol Connectivity for Seamless Integration
Equipped with ZigBee, Wi-Fi, and 4G/LTE capabilities, OWON meters ensure reliable data transmission to cloud platforms, home automation systems, or local gateways:
- ZigBee 3.0 compatibility allows integration with popular platforms like Home Assistant via ZigBee2MQTT;
- MQTT and Tuya API support enables seamless connection to utility networks, energy management apps, and custom IoT ecosystems.
3. Flexible Installation and Scalability
Designed for quick deployment, OWON smart meters feature:
- Din-rail mounting and clamp-type CTs (20A–750A) for non-intrusive installation in existing electrical systems;
- Modular designs that adapt to single-phase, split-phase, and three-phase setups, such as the CB 432 Din Rail Switch with 63A relay for commercial loads.
Advanced Monitoring Capabilities for Diverse Applications
1. Residential Energy Optimization
OWON's smart meter monitors empower homeowners to:
- Track energy usage patterns to leverage time-of-use (TOU) pricing;
- Sync with smart thermostats (e.g., PCT 513 Touchscreen Thermostat) to adjust HVAC loads based on real-time energy costs;
- Monitor solar production and battery storage systems via bidirectional measurement, as seen in Case Study 3's wireless CT clamp solution for solar inverters .
2. Commercial and Industrial Efficiency
For businesses, OWON's solutions offer:
- Centralized energy management through the WBMS 8000 Wireless BMS System, which integrates smart meters with lighting, HVAC, and security systems;
- Customized ODM solutions, such as the 4G clamp-type smart meter developed for a global carbon emission monitoring project, supporting 50A–1000A loads with LTE connectivity .
3. Grid Resilience and Remote Management
OWON's edge gateways (e.g., SEG-X3, SEG-X5) ensure:
- Local data processing and offline operation during network outages, critical for post-storm recovery in regions like Texas;
- Secure data transmission to designated cloud servers, complying with regional privacy regulations .
