Why choose a smart flow meter?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The 3EM smart electricity meter brings much more subtle savings and even earning opportunities to<\/strong> your home or business.
In addition to monitoring your consumption, you can also participate in the flexibility market<\/strong> through the Qilowatt system, earning passive income without having to manually control your appliances on a daily basis.

While the 3EM traditionally allows you to monitor and optimise your energy consumption in a similar way to smart relays, the Qilowatt + flexibility market partnership provides an additional benefit – compensation for participating in grid balancing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main features<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • Three-phase metering<\/strong> – displays cumulative consumption for all three phases and also separately<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Built-in 10A relay<\/strong> – allows you to automatically cut off or start electrical equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Three clamp-type current meters<\/strong> (up to 120A per phase) – easy installation without power interruption<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • WiFi connection<\/strong> – no need for a separate centre or gateway<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
    \n\n

    Why choose 3EM?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    • Smart control booster<\/strong> – interrupt heat pump operation during peak hours or start during low electricity times<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The perfect complement to Qilowatt automation<\/strong> – accurate measurement data + control capability = even better Optimizer performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Easy to integrate into an existing system<\/strong> – works with both new and previously installed equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Flexible use<\/strong> – suitable for optimising energy consumption in home, business and industry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      How does income come about?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

      Qilowatt also enables the 3EM device to participate in the flexibility market<\/strong>.
      Elering pays compensation to consumers who are willing to temporarily switch off their devices or change their operating mode at certain moments.
      This means you get paid:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • if you reduce consumption during a grid deficit<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • if you shift consumption to more favourable price periods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
