Single-Phase Smart Meter

Mixed-signal metering hardware redesigned for precision measurement and serial production.

Status: Serial production

Tools: Altium Designer · RS-485 · LoRa · Bluetooth

Redesigning an industrial meter

I substantially refactored the existing schematic and PCB implementation for a residential electricity meter. Firmware and enclosure design were handled by other specialists.

Protecting the measurement path

The two-board architecture combines sensitive metering circuitry with 230 V power conversion, memory, communications, RTC and anti-tamper functions. I separated switching-power noise from measurement signals and implemented high-voltage isolation, including an 8 mm creepage barrier, copper-free zones and milled slots.

Production outcome

I reworked placement, routing and mechanical integration, then supported prototyping and manufacturing preparation. The redesigned product reached serial production.
