Measuring equipment and instruments
protect reliably
Intro
Demands on digital measurement infrastructures are increasing worldwide. Energy and water suppliers as well as industrial companies rely on networked, high-precision measuring systems and instruments to reliably record consumption data, intelligently control load flows and ensure secure communication channels in critical infrastructure, or simply to record electrical measurements. Issues such as tamper resistance, operational continuity, data security and protection against electrical overloads are coming to the fore worldwide.

Smart metering – protection solutions for connected metering infrastructures
Protected devices for a digitalized energy sector
Smart meter systems form the backbone of modern electricity grids. They continuously collect consumption data, communicate with network operators and enable smart load and energy management. At the same time, the demands placed on reliability, long-term stability and tamper resistance are increasing significantly – particularly in grid-connected applications and over lifespans of 10 to 20 years.
SIBA develops miniature solutions for smart meter applications which are specifically designed to meet these challenges.

The European and national energy policy is specifically focused on smart metering systems in order to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal, the EU Energy Efficiency Directive and the Metering Point Operation Act (MsbG). Network operators and regulatory authorities are calling for robust, tamper-proof, long-term stable metering devices as the basis for reliable load management and secure data communication.
SIBA protection solutions meet these requirements – in technical, regulatory and economic terms.
European and national energy policy relies on smart metering systems to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal, the EU Energy Efficiency Directive and the Metering Point Operation Act (MsbG). At the same time, the Federal Network Agency is calling for robust, tamper-proof metering devices as the basis for reliable load management and secure data communication. This places greater technical demands on the metering devices. SIBA provides the right solutions for this environment.
Measurement environments place high demands on miniature.
Depending on the location, high short circuit currents may occur – particularly in applications close to the mains supply or in industrial settings. That is why a high breaking capacity is crucial. In practice, currents with a breaking capacity of 50kA or more are required.
Equally important is the correct rating of the rated voltage. Different AC and DC voltage levels require fuse-links that disconnect reliably in the event of a fault and protect sensitive measurement electronics – ensuring that the fuse-link itself is safe.
SIBA fuse-links are specifically designed to meet these requirements – ensuring maximum protection, stable measurement readings and long-term operational reliability.
The measurement categories CAT I to CAT IV describe, in accordance with IEC 61010, the environment in which measuring instruments are implemented and thus the potential hazards to be expected from
- transient overvoltages,
- available short circuit energy,
- potential arc flash and explosion incidents.
In terms of standards the following applies:
The closer the measurement point is to the energy source, the higher the short circuit current and transient energy and the more stringent the safety requirements for the measuring instrument and its protective components.
