What are the advantages and applications of the FOX ENERGY-3 (WI-MEF-3) monitor?

.


The FOX ENERGY-3 (commercial index WI-MEF-3) offers indispensable support in controlling energy consumption and monitoring electrical network parameters. Due to its characteristics, the WI-MEF-3 is excellent for, among other things, energy control and billing in homes and rental flats. The WI-MEF-3 is also worth considering if you are planning renewable energy installations such as heat pumps and photovoltaics. Why do we recommend the FOX ENERGY-3 monitor for these applications?

The Wi-MEF-3 is a bidirectional, 4-quadrant monitor for single-phase or three-phase network parameters. It needs a WiFi network with internet access to function correctly. The device is mounted on a DIN rail. To measure energy, the FOX ENERGY-3 uses three miniature current transformers measuring 25x25x50 mm, which fit easily even in a small switchboard. The transformers are equipped with an opening core so that they can be clipped onto existing current conductors without having to disconnect them.



Measuring range and data analysis .
The measurement range of the Fox Energy-3 is ideally suited to typical domestic installations, providing high accuracy readings for both small and large loads. An important feature of the FOX ENERGY-3 monitor is also the easy access to the data collected and analysed . All data is recorded on servers located in Poland and can be accessed via a free mobile application (Android and IOS), or any web browser. Thus, at any time we can check the parameters and measurement results of interest on our phone.

The wide range of capabilities of the FOX ENERGY-3 are presented below:
- Monitoring and recording of energy consumption, both produced and consumed. It is therefore ideal for measuring the actual energy production of a photovoltaic installation and for monitoring the energy consumption of a heat pump;
- Analysis of energy consumption on a daily, monthly and annual basis;
- Calculation of energy consumption over a preset billing period, taking into account different energy tariffs.
- Control and recording of all relevant electrical network parameters: powers, voltages, currents. Minimum and maximum values of the measured parameters are also recorded, which can be used to detect problems with the photovoltaic installation and excessively high mains voltage.
- Export of recorded measurement results to csv and excel files.
- Sharing of current measurement results via the RestAPI interface.

Metering heat pumps, photovoltaics and optimising energy tariffs with the FOX ENERGY-3 monitor .
Many investors ask themselves at the purchasing stage whether the heat pump's energy consumption and associated costs can be reduced? How can the electricity demand of a heat pump be optimised?

The most popular solution in the situation presented is to combine the heat pump with photovoltaic panels in a single system. This solution makes it possible to reduce electricity costs and thus also to reduce the costs for heating the house, preparing domestic hot water and also cooling rooms using the heat pump.

Another solution, which is definitely cheaper and quicker to implement, is to change to a more favourable energy tariff. It is worth considering this option, as different tariffs have different energy rates for specific time periods, e.g. at night or at weekends. With the right configuration, the operation of the heat pump can be adjusted so that it uses as much electricity as possible during the 'cheaper' tariff, resulting in a minimisation of electricity costs.

For both solutions, the starting point will be the analysis of energy consumption and historical consumption data, which can significantly determine the use of the FOX ENERGY-3 energy monitor. The FOX ENERGY-3 energy monitor has a unique feature that helps in the selection of the main energy tariff according to which energy consumption is billed. This is made possible by performing calculations that show what the energy bill would look like if a different tariff were selected. As the solution is based on actual energy consumption history, it reliably indicates the optimum tariff for each home, with a consequent measurable effect on reducing electricity bills.

FOX ENERGY family of energy consumption monitors .
Responding to the demand of our customers, we are continuously enriching the range of FOX ENERGY energy consumption monitors with new devices. At the moment, we offer:

FOX ENERGY energy consumption monitors 1 single-phase .

FOX ENERGY 3 three-phase energy consumption monitors

We offer two types of three-phase monitors: with external antenna or with internal antenna ( OPTI series) , built into the device. Energy consumption monitors with built-in antenna are our proposal, for example for small switchboards where the amount of space occupied by the modules installed on the rail is one of their selection criteria. Below are the basic versions of FOX Energy's three-phase energy consumption monitors:


1. energy consumption monitors FOX ENERGY-3 three-phase, with external antenna :
- FOX ENERGY-3 (measuring range up to 40A),
- FOX ENERGY-3-100 (measuring range up to 100A),
- FOX ENERGY-3-200 (measuring range up to 200A).

2. Energy consumption monitors FOX ENERGY-3 OPTI three-phase, with internal antenna :
- FOX ENERGY-3 OPTI-40 (measuring range up to 40A),
- FOX ENERGY-3 OPTI-100 (measuring range up to 100A),
- FOX ENERGY-3 OPTI-200 ((measuring range up to 200A)


FOX wifi home control system .
Finally, we encourage you not only to take advantage of the FOX ENERGY energy consumption monitors. We would like to remind you that the FOX system is first and foremost a state-of-the-art smart home system that allows remote operation and configuration of the operation of many appliances and electrical circuits.
The advantages of the FOX system are:
- affordable and easy operation,
