MK-34 34.

5 kV METERING UNIT

ARTECHE ME/MK series metering units are outdoor, three-phase, pole-

mounted metering racks.

The rack is made of lightweight aluminium designed to mount on poles

in an upright position. It includes two galvanized steel mounting bolts for
attaching the metering unit to the pole, with pole diameters available from
8” to 14”. Optional galvanized steel structures and/or other pole diameters
are available upon request.

MK series incorporate 3 combined transformers mounted vertically. Their

core is encapsulated with Type B epoxy resin which provides excellent
internal dielectric properties and mechanical strength. The external layer of
Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Resin (CEP) provides resistance to ultraviolet rays and the
effects of tracking and erosion on the exterior of the transformer ensuring a
long mechanical and electrical life. The transformer is maintenance free.

The external layer can be manufactured with Hydrophobic Cycloaliphatic

Epoxy Resin (HCEP) which improves service life expectancy due to its
improved tracking and erosion resistance. HCEP additionally increases
the transformer’s weatherability and offers better performance in heavily
polluted environments.

The core is built with high permeability grain oriented silicon steel
laminations for low losses. The windings are copper wire with copper plate
OUTDOOR double isolation. The concentric distribution of the coils prevents magnetic
60 Hertz flux leakage, achieving greater accuracy and higher capacity to withstand
mechanical stresses in adverse operating conditions.

Partial Discharge measurements exceed the IEEE, CAN/CSA and IEC

requirements.
