ACREL Multi-Circuit AC Energy Meter for Power Monitoring
ACREL Multi-Circuit AC Energy Meter for Power Monitoring is a multi-circuit AC energy meter for centralised monitoring of electrical distribution circuits. It measures two three-phase incoming channels and 36 single-phase outgoing channels, with the option of monitoring the outgoing circuits as 12 three-phase channels. The device measures voltage, current, active power, reactive power, power factor, active energy and reactive energy, with RS485 Modbus-RTU communication for system integration. It is installed on a 35 mm DIN rail and is designed for applications including data centre power monitoring.
The ACREL Multi-Circuit AC Energy Meter for Power Monitoring provides centralised electrical measurement across multiple incoming and outgoing circuits. It is designed around applications where numerous power circuits need to be monitored without installing an individual meter for every circuit.
The device measures two three-phase incoming channels and 36 single-phase outgoing channels. The outgoing measurement can also be configured as 12 three-phase channels. Measured parameters include voltage, current, active power, reactive power, power factor, active energy and reactive energy.
The ACREL Multi-Circuit AC Energy Meter for Power Monitoring communicates through RS485 using Modbus-RTU, providing a practical connection to compatible monitoring and energy management systems. It also provides one on-off output.
How it works
- The incoming and outgoing circuits are measured through current transformers and voltage measurement inputs.
- Two three-phase incoming channels can be monitored for key electrical parameters.
- Up to 36 single-phase outgoing channels can be monitored, or the outgoing circuits can be arranged as 12 three-phase channels.
- Measured electrical data is made available through the RS485 Modbus-RTU communication interface.
- The device is mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail for installation within suitable electrical distribution equipment.
