Calibration Certificate
Here is an example calibration certificate from the German calibration laboratory TüV.
We can also supply a calibration certificate with the meter you buy, at an additional cost. Let us know if this is required when you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, it comes with 5 voltage sensing leads, 4 current sensing coils, and a USB power supply and cable. The diameter of the current sensing coils is 24mm and it can measure up to 600A, If you want to measure higher currents, then you have to buy larger Rogowski coils, also available here.
The device comes with two 18659 Lithium batteries.
The build in LiPo batteries last 10 hours. We recommend plugin it into mains power if planning to log for longer than 10 hours.
Each meter is factory-tested and calibrated. The allowable variance is less than 0.02% Click here to see an example factory meter calibration report. Additionally each meter can be sent for calibration and receive a calibration certificate at additional cost. Click here to see an example meter calibration report.
The Mi550 logs to its data to 31GB internal memory. Then you can then download the data to an USB stick.
No, the meter must be powered by a 5V external power supply, or the internal batteries. One can supply power to the external power supply with this adaptor. Contact us to order this adaptor.
It is possible that your loads can generate negative reactive energy. Read this article on Wikipedia.
The Mi550 has waveform recordings, the sampling rate can be set, Sampling rate (kHz): used to set the sampling rate of waveform, which can be set to 1\2\4\8 kHz, and the corresponding maximum sampling duration is: 40s\20s\10s\5s.
The minimum logging interval of the Mi550 is five seconds. The minimum logging interval of the ME440 and ME435 is one seconds.
The user interface of the meter can be set to any of the following languages:
- English
- German
- Portuguese
- Spanish
- French
- Chinese
If one use the NRC300, it can be configured to have an output of 85mV/kA or 50mV/kA. However, we generally recommend an output of 50mV/kA. The reason is that for a 300mm Rogowski coil like the NRC300, the measured current is usually quite large.
The maximum input voltage range of the Meatrol meters is: 0 – 420mVAC.
When the output of the Rogowski coil is 50mV/kA, the maximum measurable current is 8500A (8,5 kA x 50 mV = 425 mVAC).
But if the coil output is 85mV/kA, the maximum measurable current is 5000A (5 kA x 85mV = 425 mVAC).
The reason why the NRC300 coils comes in 50 mV/kA variation is to accommodate high current readings.
The maximum input voltage to the Mi550 meter is 690V, L-N.
Higher voltages can be measured when using a voltage transformer, a voltage ratio can be set. Please ensure that the input voltage does not exceed the rated maximum input voltage of the Mi550.
The DPF shown on this screen stands for Displacement Power Factor.
DPF represents the cosine of the angle between voltage and current (cos φ) for each phase. It specifically measures the phase shift caused by inductive or capacitive loads in the circuit.
In this example:
- L1: 0.917 (fairly good)
- L2: 0.860 (moderate)
- L3: 0.891 (good)
- Total: 0.889 (good overall)
Key differences:
- PF (Power Factor) = 0.660 overall – includes both displacement AND distortion (harmonics)
- DPF (Displacement Power Factor) = 0.889 overall – only measures the fundamental frequency displacement
The fact that your DPF (0.889) is significantly higher than your PF (0.660) indicates you have substantial harmonic distortion in your system, likely from non-linear loads like variable frequency drives, switching power supplies, or electronic equipment. The poor power factor isn’t just from inductive phase shift, but also from harmonics distorting the current waveform.

Meter data analysis, visualisation and reporting
We have created an Excel template that can analyse the data and visualise it with graphs. It has the following features and graphs.
- Maximum power per minute, hour and day
- Energy usage per minute, hour and day
- Maximum voltage per minute, hour and day
- Limit data displayed to a specific day or hour
- Supports three-phase and single-phase setups
This template and support with importing the data and using the template are included free of charge when purchasing this meter.
The template is very easy to use even for users that is not that familiar with Excel. We have also created step by step instructions document and video.

Really impressed with this energy logger
Bought this to plan our solar systems and it's been perfect. Setup was straightforward, and the data it captures is exactly what I needed. The included Excel template makes it easy to see your energy usage patterns. What really stood out was how complete the kit is - everything you need is in the box. The technical support is also excellent if you need help. Worth every penny if you're serious about understanding your energy consumption. Highly recommend!
Good service.
Product was delivered within three day in good condition.
Great product
It gave us all the data we needed to troubleshoot a problem. The coils are really easy to install, and the user interface is very easy to use. Accurate results as confirmed by my clamp meter.
