So am I correct in my understanding that the omnimeter can be powered by a standard three-prong power cord (wired into the correct ports on the omnimeter), then wrapping the CT around the cable to be metered (the CT being wired into the corresponding ports on the omnimeter)...and that's it? I don't need to tap into any wiring in the panel (as long as there is an outlet nearby to supply power to the omnimeter). Is this correct? Obviously, I'll wire the USB dongle into the omnimeter. I'll also make sure there is a fuse between the power cord and the omnimeter. I'm trying to make the system as non-invasive as possible since I'm the tenant and don't want to mess with the landlady's panel. I've been tasked with monitoring my own usage and will most likely take the setup with me when I move.
Yes the Omnimeter could be powered this way but in order to accurately meter electricity the voltage reference wire(s) that are connected to the meter need to be matched up with current transformers (CTs) that are installed on the same phase(s). The Omnimeter is powered by the electrical system that it is metering. Depending on the electrical system the Omnimeter will have 1-3 voltage reference wire connections. If you know what phase your 3 prong outlet is on then powering the meter this way would work to meter electricity. You would just need to install the CT on a wire of the same phase.
I need 4 meters to be installed on the same property to bill tenants accordingly. Is there a video on how to install 4 meters under one push3 device?
Hello, I need a little help, about the push dash device. But will there be some way to contact them please?
Does anyone have some knowledge on reading the units manually. I am using the EKM-PGM75. The reading on the second unit inline is higher then the main unit on the line.
The black dials on the PGM-075 rad in increments of whole cubic feet. The red dial reads in 1/10 cubic foot increments. Make sure that the meter is not over pressurized (7.25 PSI max). If you have any further questions about your gas meter please do not hesitate to contact our support tram at support@ekmmetering.com
I have a question? So I want to monitor only 1 breaker Im will it only read that breaker if I connect it to it?
Yes you can use our electric meters to meter one circuit instead of the main feed to the panel. When using our Omnimeters, the current transformer(s) would be installed on the branch circuit wire(s) instead of the main feed wire(s). More on meter installations can be found in our online Knowledge Base here: help.ekmmetering.com/support/solutions
Why did you piggyback instead of using dedicated break?
Tenants tend to have access to their breaker boxes. Turning off the power to the meter would skew the results. Attaching the meter power to a circuit that the tenant is unlikely to "just go without" is a good idea.
I learned enough to buy EKM brand. I know that I do not want to insert a small wire, 22 or 14 or 12 or even 10 gauge, into a 50 amp breaker. Simple. A separate 15 amp breaker is no better for 22 gauge, but 15 amp breaker in panel with a 7 amp fuse in nearby EKM box is decent by all considerations. Yes, do put the fuse holder in the dedicated EKM box. The distance is very short, so a 7 amp fuse would keep the 15 amp breaker from melting the 22 gauge wire. Smaller gorilla, bigger dumpster.
Why would you stop showing how to wire it part way through? Trying to figure this out is maddening.
If you have questions about your install please send them to support@ekmmetering.com. We have support agents available to answer your questions. We also have an online Knowledge Base, which is a great resource as well: help.ekmmetering.com/support/solutions
So, if we're using this for water heaters we replace the ct1 and ct2 with the valve submeters?
If you are referring to water metering, the Omnimeter Pulse v.4 has separate inputs for counting pulses from water meters. So the Omnimeter can be used to meter electricity and count pulses from water meters at the same time. There is more info about remotely reading water meters in this video: ua-cam.com/video/l8oYAUmuBD8/v-deo.html
Is there a big difference if someone is using this on a 3-phase system? Or is there just a third CT monitor? Thanks for this great video
There is no difference in terms of the meter model but yes there is a 3rd CT and voltage reference connection for 3-phase 4-wire (with neutral) systems. However, there are only 2 CTs needed for metering 3-phase 3-wire (no neutral) systems. In other words: Use 2 CTs for 3-phase 3-wire systems (without neutral, up to 415V). Use 3 CTs for 3-phase 4-wire systems (with neutral, up to 480V). More info regarding metering both types of 3-phase systems: help.ekmmetering.com/support/solutions/articles/6000081678-3-phase-3-wire-metering-up-to-600-volts help.ekmmetering.com/support/solutions/articles/6000081679-3-phase-4-wire-metering-up-to-600-volts
@@EKMMeteringInc funny you respond to this comment but not the numerous comments about the numerous code violations lol
Can we get a post-fire shot after they clean the mess?
Just a bluetooth app from the device would be good. Anyone know where buy?
I'm need to purchase a laptop for a customer and I have a question. Is the ekm metering software needy for anything. Such as alot of cpu power or does it require fast memory? Great video
Hi Jody, if your customer is going to be reading their meter with a Push3 gateway (www.ekmmetering.com/collections/all-products/products/ekm-push3-bundle-cloud-data-control-system) then there is no dedicated software required to read the meter. The Dash software, which is used in this video, has been pretty much replaced with online solutions, for EKM Push users. We now offer a Push Account Portal for making meter settings: help.ekmmetering.com/support/solutions/articles/6000232782-introduction-to-the-account-portal And Encompass allows you to visualize meter data and generate reports and bills: www.ekmmetering.com/pages/encompass So long story short, you don't need to worry about cpu power for reading our meters, beyond what is required to run the latest internet browsers.
@@EKMMeteringInc awsome. Thank you for your time. That was very helpful.
Hi, is this v.4 meter suitable for 3phase 4 wire, 240 system?, what is the difference between v.4 and v.3?
Yes this meter model is suitable for 3-phase 4-wire 240V when paired with 3 current transformers. It is capable of metering up to 480V. The v.3 Omnimeter is also capable of metering the same electrical systems but the v.4 offers a some additional features, like being able to count pulses from water and gas meters. You can see a comparison of our Omnimeter models here: documents.ekmmetering.com/Omnimeter-and-Communications-Comparison-Chart.pdf
We are maintaining the 500kv transmission towers coming from there 👍
Is it okay if the split core CT sits loosely on the Line 1 and Line 2 wires? The first one installed greatly, fit nice and tight. The second panel I metered the wires for Line 1 and 2 were a bit smaller so they can slide around a little bit. Is this okay?
Yes, the CTs can be loosely fit on the wires. Their ability to measure amperage is not affected by a tight fit or a loose fit.
What size/gauge wire is he using to connect from breaker box to meter and CT’s? Is the wire he is using twisted pair for the CT leads?
The voltage and neutral reference wires can be 16-22 AWG wire gauges. The CT leads are 22 AWG. The CT leads are twisted because that helps to maintain accuracy if the lead wires run in parallel to other energized wires. It isn't critical that they are twisted but it is best that they remain so if possible.
If I do the CT leads at 22 AWG should I do the red black and white wire at 22 AWG as well? The guy in the video seems to have them all the same size. In fact I thought they were all 18 AWG before you responded to this video. So is it okay if I do the CT Leads at 22 and the red, black, and white wire at 18 AWG? Sorry for all the questions. I recently purchased 2 meters along with all the accessories from the video and none of these wires were listed in the supplies list so I never ordered them as I figured these wires came with the product.
@@julienslefo190 The CTs come with 6 foot leads of 22 AWG wire. The voltage and neutral reference wires do not need to be the same gauge at the CT wires, so 16-22 AWG would be fine for those.
After speaking with my electrician he told me that 14 AWG would be more practical and he said that it appeared that it’s what they were using in the video as well. Will 14 AWG work instead of 16 for the voltage and neutral reference wire?
@@julienslefo190 Yes, if the wire conductor fits into the ports on the Omnimeter then it is ok to use larger wire.
can you set up the program to send you the monthly KW usage , so i can forward that to my tenant
Yes, our online Encompass platform can be set up to email you monthly reports or bills automatically. More information about Encompass can be found here: www.ekmmetering.com/pages/encompass
Wait.... Who pays for this!? Why does a private company occupy space at PG & E?🤔 Elon Mask is a welfare case, suck’in off the public.
what is the pulse width that the inputs can handle, i have one water meter with pulse width of 80ms?
The Omnimeter Pulse v.4 can handle pulse widths as short as 20ms, so your 80ms pulse should not be a problem at all.
Any update on this? Maybe you can consider a fun time flying your drone?
I want to monitor KW usage on a 240V / 30A electric water heater only. Do I simply place the CTs on L1 and L2 feeds that come out of the 30A breaker inside the electrical panel?
Yes. You can meter individual circuits by installing the CTs on circuit wires where they exit the breaker in side the panel. Everything else would be the same.
Largest battery in the world ! Thanks for the footage.
Beautiful pictures. I'm still having to assume the info I need.
Tesla must own the plants for their shareholders !
Hey ERCOT! Are you listening?
Huge project!! Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
I'm wondering what cold temp precautions were designed with this system since the freak winter storm the just destroyed Texas?
I see energy storage but no energy generation ... perhaps it is still years away. If one man can do that much ... what the country with $1.9T stimulus could do if invested in the same ... but we are giving away all this money so that people can pay their bills for gas and electricity from the fossil fuels.
The energy source doesn't need to be pressed against it. Also - they can store energy from multiple sources (solar, wind, fossil fuels). They are pretty cool man. They'll be 500+ megapack battery farms within a year or two. And I agree on the re-purposing the 1.9T but I'd like to see the fossil fuel market exist. Don't want to remove jobs. Maybe store more energy then needed and transfer to it out? $
Where is this located?
Moss Landing, CA

Elongasm?
Better world how? Can I ask what the batteries are made of? Can I ask where we get that material? Can I ask how it is harvested? Can I ask what type of environmental impact there is for getting the material and manufacturing the batteries? Can I ask what the environmental and health impact is when one of those energy storage units runs away and catches on fire? Can I ask what the environmental impact will be in 10-20, 30+ years from now when all these solar panels and batteries with finite lifespans are expended? What about the large millions of acres needed and the wildlife displaced from that? Natural Gas power plants are more critical now than ever. I admit they are not the long term solution. But the future you are talking about arrived in April of 1957 with the first electrical generating Nuclear Power Plant. Nuclear is the best energy source, then, now and in the future until we discover something better.
Is that a peaker plant behind it. I suspect these mega packs will destroy a lot of coal plants at 10% of the cost
No. The large stacks are from the old Super Critical Power plant. The 4 stacks, if you know what to look for, is a 1000 MW natural gas combined cycle power plant. Hardly a peaker and far more important to the grid that the average person realizes.
Is that a peaker with the two chimneys?
No. That is the old Super Critical power plant.
Moss Landing has been a major power plant for decades. There used to be 7 natural gas generators, but five have been shut down. There are now two battery farms there, one from Tesla in what used to be the parking lot, and the other by someone else, in the turbine hall, the long building behind the Tesla units. They are located here because the heavy duty power lines are already in place.
Welcome to the future !
Amazing!
Looks like like all the megapacks have been delivered. Final steps are just installation of the connecting and control infrastructure. Won't be long now.
Megapack goes up 100x faster as the Controller, Inverter, and BMS are Intergrated into each Megapack. TESLA Powerpacks still require sepreate controller and Inverter Cabnets.
Thanks for posting this. I grew up near Moss Landing. Fun to see
This part of California, and also being next to the Pacific Ocean, almost never gets to the freezing point of water. Not a problem.
Thanks for the update! I’m surprised they aren’t complete yet.
This makes Hornsdale look like a toy. One transformer for each 4 packs?
I guess things have progressed?
Megapack intergrates the Conroller and Inverter for each Megapack.
Are you going to post a final update video?
I should probably do at least one more vid to see the final form. I will try to get one done in the next week or two.

I'm just curious who's putting the bill in this Mega battery storage set up is it the taxpayer or did Elon Musk foot the bill himself just curious?
"Oh, no. We can't dare spend money to improve the reliability of the grid in California, because it might mean my taxes or electric bill might go up!" PG&E is a private entity, is it not? That means PG&E is the one spending the money. Once that battery farm is in operation to replace that peaker plant, it'll save PG&E quite a bit of money, as those peaker plants are extremely expensive to run, since they're idle most of the time.
It is mainly renewable power investors fronting the $.
Appreciate the update and love the video, but be careful with the FAA and/or DHS...i don't think they would like people flying drones close to power plants!
where is the megapack getting the energy from?
The plant next to it I imagine. And if I'm not mistaken that plant is natural gas based. Could be wrong
@@DigitalM_M that'll be odd. Because battery packs are designed to capture renewable energy generated and store it. And I dont see any windmill or solar installations in the video.
@@alexng4 no solar or wind anywhere near it that I know of, unless it was built without telling the locals. I live about 5 mins from moss landing. That natural gas plant is the only power around that I know of
@@DigitalM_M hmm...interesting..so is that natural gas plant one of those peaker plants? Because Tesla's mission is to replace fossil fuel peaker plants with tesla energy storage combined with renewable energy source generated. So this would be a rather odd pairing.
