Division 2: Rated operating conditions - Directive 2014/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of measuring instruments (recast) (Text with EEA relevance)

The manufacturer shall specify the rated operating conditions of the meter; in particular:

The values of f_n, U_n, I_n, I_st, I_min, I_tr and I_max that apply to the meter. For the current values specified, the meter shall satisfy the conditions given in Table 1;

Table 1

	Class A	Class B	Class C
For Class B electromechanical meters $I_{\min} \leq 0,4 \times I_{tr}$ shall apply.
For direct-connected meters
I_st	$\leq 0,05 \times I_{tr}$	$\leq 0,04 \times I_{tr}$	$\leq 0,04 \times I_{tr}$
I_min	$\leq 0,5 \times I_{tr}$	$\leq 0,5 \times I_{tr}$	$\leq 0,3 \times I_{tr}$
I_max	$\geq 50 \times I_{tr}$	$\geq 50 \times I_{tr}$	$\geq 50 \times I_{tr}$
For transformer-operated meters
I_st	$\leq 0,06 \times I_{tr}$	$\leq 0,04 \times I_{tr}$	$\leq 0,02 \times I_{tr}$
I_min	$\leq 0,4 \times I_{tr}$	$\leq 0,2 \times I_{tr}$ ^f1	$\leq 0,2 \times I_{tr}$
I_n	$= 20 \times I_{tr}$	$= 20 \times I_{tr}$	$= 20 \times I_{tr}$
I_max	$\geq 1,2 \times I_{n}$	$\geq 1,2 \times I_{n}$	$\geq 1,2 \times I_{n}$

The voltage, frequency and power factor ranges within which the meter shall satisfy the MPE requirements are specified in Table 2. These ranges shall recognise the typical characteristics of electricity supplied by public distribution systems.

The voltage and frequency ranges shall be at least:

$0,9 \times U_{n} \leq U \leq 1,1 \times U_{n}$
$0,98 \times f_{n} \leq f \leq 1,02 \times f_{n}$

power factor range at least from cosφ = 0,5 inductive to cosφ = 0,8 capacitive.
