Logging load profiles, harmonics and voltage events with the accuracy of a revenue meter takes a panel meter certified to ANSI C12.20 class 0.2 and IEC 62053-22 class 0.2S that has its own memory and waveform capture. The Shark 200 measures at over 400 samples per cycle on all channels simultaneously, stores up to 4 MB in three historical logs of 64+ parameters, analyses harmonics to the 40th order, captures waveforms at up to 512 samples per cycle and communicates over RS485, IrDA and Ethernet with Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3 or IEC 61850, in a panel meter only 4 inches deep.

Shark 200 key data

  • Certified accuracy: ANSI C12.20 class 0.2 and IEC 62053-22 class 0.2S, plus IEC 62053-23 class 2, certified by MET Labs (ANSI) and KEMA Laboratories (IEC); voltage L-N to 0.1 %, voltage L-L, current, power, energy and power factor to 0.2 % of reading, and frequency to ±0.007 Hz.
  • Measurement: true RMS with over 400 samples per cycle on all channels simultaneously, frequency resolution of 0.001 Hz and watts, VAR and VA updated every 6 cycles; standard energy test pulse for field accuracy verification.
  • Data logging: three historical logs of 64+ parameters with independent intervals, from 2 MB with the V2 key up to 4 MB with V6; limit and I/O change logs of 2048 events each and a system events log, all time-stamped.
  • Power quality: harmonics to the 40th order from the V3 key, waveform recorder from V5 and up to 512 samples per cycle with V6, up to 170 events in a circular buffer, CBEMA and SEMI F47 plotting and a live voltage and current waveform scope.
  • V-Switch keys: V1 multifunction measurement; V2 logging; V3 harmonics; V4 limits and control, required for the RO1S relay card; V5 and V6 waveform recording; they are activated in the field without taking the Shark 200 out of service.
  • Communication: RS485 with Modbus RTU/ASCII or DNP3 from 1200 to 57,600 baud, faceplate IrDA and KYZ pulse as standard; INP100S card (100BaseT, web server, 12 Modbus TCP/IP connections, 5 DNP3 over TCP/IP, NTP and email on alarm) or INP300S (IEC 61850 with 5 MMS clients).
  • Expandable I/O: two automatically detected slots for four 0-1 mA or 4-20 mA outputs at 0.1 % of full scale, four pulse outputs and four status inputs, two Form C relays with two inputs, or fibre optic.
  • Mounting and environment: 92 mm DIN square or ANSI C39.1 4-inch round cut-out, 12.32 x 12.32 x 10.79 cm and 0.91 kg; -20 to +70 °C, IP30, NEMA 12 faceplate, 2500 V isolation and Shark 200T transducer version for DIN rail.

Advantages

Revenue-grade measurement

ANSI C12.20 class 0.2 and IEC 62053-22 class 0.2S accuracy, with a standard energy test pulse for field verification.

Complete data logging

Three historical logs with 64+ parameters each, up to 4 MB of memory, and time-stamped logs for events, alarms and I/O changes.

Power quality and waveform capture

Harmonics to the 40th order, waveform capture up to 512 samples per cycle, and CBEMA and SEMI F47 curves for voltage events.

Expandable communication and I/O

RS485, IrDA and KYZ pulse as standard; two automatically detected I/O slots and optional Ethernet cards with Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3 or IEC 61850.

V-Switch key technology

Keys V1 to V6 are activated in the field without taking the meter out of service, adding logging, harmonics, limits and waveform recording.

Applications

  • Utility, commercial, industrial and campus metering, and submetering.
  • Substation telemetry: voltage and frequency recording, and monitoring of transformers and line regulators.
  • Interval load profiling and power quality studies.
  • Direct replacement of analogue panel meters, reusing the existing CT and PT wiring.

About the product

The meter fits a 92 mm DIN square or ANSI C39.1 4-inch round cut-out, with only 4 inches of panel depth, which suits retrofits of existing switchgear. A transducer version without a display is also available, mounted on DIN rail, with an RS485 Modbus or DNP3 output and the same expandable I/O. The design is built for harsh environments, with short-circuit safe current inputs, and is powered by (90-265) V AC or (100-370) V DC, or by (18-60) V DC.

Frequently asked questions

How many samples per cycle does the Shark 200 waveform recorder capture?

With the V5 key it records at 32 or 64 samples per cycle and stores up to 85 events; with V6 it reaches 128, 256 or 512 samples per cycle and up to 170 events in a circular buffer, with programmable pre- and post-event cycles (at 512 samples per cycle, 1 pre-event and 3 post-event cycles). The figures are for 60 Hz systems; multiply them by 1.2 for 50 Hz systems.

Can the Shark 200 communicate over IEC 61850?

Yes, with the INP300S Ethernet card: IEC 61850 protocol with a configurable CID file, 5 MMS clients and 5 Modbus connections, plus a web server. The INP100S card offers 12 Modbus TCP/IP and 5 DNP3 over TCP/IP connections instead; both are dual Ethernet port capable.

What accuracy class does the Shark 200 hold?

Class 0.2 under ANSI C12.20 and class 0.2S under IEC 62053-22, verifiable in the field with the standard energy test pulse.

How much logging memory does it have?

Up to 4 MB with the V6 key, split across three historical logs of 64+ parameters each.

What communication options are supported?

RS485 with Modbus or DNP3 as standard, plus optional Ethernet cards with Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3 or IEC 61850.

How much panel space does it need?

A 92 mm DIN square or 4-inch ANSI round cut-out, with only 4 inches of depth, fitting existing openings.
