Accuenergy has launched the AcuDC 260 Series, a new generation of revenue-grade direct current power meters designed for EV fast charging, battery energy storage systems and high-voltage DC infrastructure.
The series includes two models: the AcuDC-261, which is certified for the European market under the Measuring Instruments Directive and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt requirements, and the AcuDC-262, which is certified to UL standards for North America and international markets. The series includes tamper-evident metrology, digitally signed transaction records in the Open Charge Metering Format, and cable-loss compensation to ensure precise billing.
The company says these tools enable OEM and charge point operators to meet strict metering regulations and support timely product deployment. For regions where MID compliance is not mandated, the AcuDC-262 is designed for global deployment, incorporating UL certification and the core metering capabilities of its European counterpart.
Both models measure direct DC voltage up to 1,000 volts with 0.1 percent accuracy and support dual DC current channels with 0.2 percent current accuracy. Additional technical features include support for shunt or hall effect sensors, bi-directional energy monitoring, cable loss compensation and integrated data logging for auditing and diagnostics. Data communications are enabled via Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP for integration with energy management systems, SCADA, DCIM, and cloud platforms.
“As DC infrastructure expands globally, customers need metering solutions that deliver accuracy, transparency, and regulatory confidence,” said Vahid Behjat, Head of Product at Accuenergy. “The AcuDC 260 series provides a unified, revenue-grade DC meter that supports compliance EV charging in Europe and scalable deployment worldwide, helping manufacturers and operators bring products to market faster and operate with greater trust and efficiency”.
