Field Meter Test Station (FTS-2990)

Elevating Meter Accuracy Testing with a Field-Optimized Design.

The FTS-2990 is a fully ANSI-compliant test board, providing comprehensive testing for meters across a wide range of conditions. Its new waveform generator aligns with ANSI C12.20-2015  (pub 4/2017) standards, incorporating all specified waveforms. This system accommodates testing for solid-state meters with a capacity extending up to 50 amps. Utilizing a single voltage and three isolated current sources, the FTS-2990 ensures thorough and precise testing for an array of meters.
