Extended reporting and charting
Report: Delimitation of third-party quantities On the safe side with 7KM PAC2200 CLP measuring
devices and integrated report for delimitation of third-
party quantities
Ensuring EEG levy privileges
As of January 1, 2022, anyone benefiting from EEG levy privileges with
regard to the import or self-generation of electrical power must delimit
third-party quantities in accordance with calibration law.
This also means that special requirements are placed on the measuring
equipment.
Delimitation of third-party quantities
Third-party supply is when a company provides another natural person
or legal entity with electrical power for final consumption. This includes,
for example, the current consumption in rented premises, construction
site power or a canteen run by an external provider.
Leased devices, such automatic drink vending machines,
printers/photocopiers or hired IT infrastructure are considered
to be third-party loads.

• The new, independent tool, with which users can specify all details, configurations and properties of devices of other
manufacturers, produces a JSON file.
• The JSON file is then imported into the SENTRON powermanager and the new device type is created in the system.
• As soon as the device type is created in the system, any number of devices can be created in exactly the same way as
regular or standard devices.
