Description

Concentrators are important part of the metering system in a state grid, including Type I and II concentrators and Type III transformers, which collect power consumption information downward from power meters and collectors.

Concentrators have various communication protocols including RS-485, 470MHz Sub-G wireless system, Power Line Carrier (PLC-Broadband and narrowband carrier), and they usually communicate with main station with Ethernet, 2G/3G/4G, State Grid VPN, etc.

NXP offers proven solutions for concentrators and concentrator applications.
