MIV

Meter Installation Verification

Introducing MIV (Meter Installation Verification) application for the PQPro™. Quickly and conveniently verify transformer type metering installations to Measurement Canada specifications. The MIV application can be used in either Standalone Mode or Wireless Mode.

Standalone Mode

In this mode, MIV tests are performed from the front panel of the PQPro™. All collected data are saved on a removable memory card, then open by the MIV software to generate PDF report.

Wireless Mode

In this mode, MIV tests are performed from the MIV software. All collected data are transmitted in real time from the PQPro™ to a computer via wireless connection. During the test, the MIV software can access more enhanced features in addition to Standalone mode.

What’s Included?

  • Magnetic Optical Probe – IR pulse sensor, magnetic latching for ANSI TYPE II optical port
  • Manual Trigger – for manual pulse count
  • MIV Pulse Counter Interface box – connect between the probe and the PQPro™ ①
  • Test Plugs for use with test switch current test jacks
  • MIV Software and Firmware
  • * Articulating Arm Optical Probe – with rubber tubing and mounting bracket

① PQPro™, voltage leads and CTs are sold separately.
* Optional

MIV Test Panel

Meter Phasors

Meter Phasors shows the vectors for the selected service type. These vectors can be presented using the Measurement Canada standard representation or a general industrial standard orientation. The relative orientation of the vectors is the same the only difference is where Phase A is located. User can overlay a set of reference vectors (at unity Power Factor) to check the connections.

CT Radio Check

CT Ratio Check measures the primary to secondary CT ratio. Channels 1, 2 and 3 are connected to the secondary side of the CTs using the selected secondary CT’s. In Auto Mode, flexible CT or a multirange Clamp CT is used for the primary side measurement. Channel 4 is used for the primary CT.

The user selects the type of Primary CT being used and then clicks the button for the phase that the primary CT is connected to. The primary CT is then moved to the next phase and the corresponding button is clicked.

Watt / Var Registration

Watt/Var Registration tests the Wh, VAh or Varh per pulse of the meter. Users can select which quantity to test (Wh, VAh or Varh) and the number of pulses to accumulate. During or after the test users can change how the data is viewed. Data can be viewed as Watts or kWatts and resulting accuracy can be view as % of accuracy or % error.

Interval Billing Test

Interval Billing Test is used to check the meter’s interval billing results. It is important to do this test synchronized with the meter time. Synchronizing the time is done using the ‘Update Time’ button in the Status screen. The interval time stamp is the time of the end of the interval.

The user can select the number of intervals for the test and the time period for each interval. When the user presses the ‘Start’ button the software will automatically start the test at the beginning of the next time interval. The software will also automatically stop the test at the end of the last time interval. Both accumulated Watt hours and average Watts (demand) are displayed. The scaling can be adjusted to Watts or kWatts.
