ACREL DIN Rail Energy Meter | Multifunction Power Meter w External Split-Core is a rail-type multifunction energy meter designed for AC electrical measurement and energy monitoring using an external split-core current transformer. It is suitable for photovoltaic systems, low-voltage electrical distribution, and energy management applications where compact installation and reliable electrical data acquisition are required. Key features include AC 100V or 400V rated voltage, up to 80A rated current, RS485 communication with Modbus-RTU protocol, and CE certification.
The ACREL DIN Rail Energy Meter | Multifunction Power Meter w External Split-Core is a compact rail-type multifunction energy meter designed to monitor electrical energy and operating parameters in AC power systems. It works with an external split-core current transformer (CT), allowing current measurement without requiring the existing power cable or conductor to be disconnected and routed directly through the meter.
The meter is designed for integration into electrical monitoring and energy management systems, with RS485 communication using Modbus-RTU for transmitting measurement data to supervisory systems, gateways, energy management platforms, or other compatible monitoring equipment. Rated voltage of AC 100V or 400V and rated current of AC 80A.
How Does It Work?
- The meter is connected to the AC voltage circuit for voltage measurement.
- An external split-core CT is installed around the conductor to sense the current flowing through the circuit.
- The meter processes the voltage and current signals to calculate relevant electrical and energy parameters.
- Measurement data can be transmitted through the RS485 interface using the Modbus-RTU communication protocol.
