Fit
electrical inputs:
voltage: 50–460 VAC (Phase-to-Phase) / 290 VAC (Phase-to-Neutral); direct measurement (no VT needed)
current: requires external Current Transformers (CTs) with 5A secondary (Primary range 10...2500A)
power supply: self-powered via voltage inputs (auxiliary source not required)
accuracy (metrology):
active energy: Class 0.5S (IEC 62053-22) / Class C (MID EN 50470) – high precision
reactive energy: Class 2
connectivity:
wiring: compatible with Single-phase (1P+N), Two-phase, or Three-phase (3P, 3P+N) networks
terminals: rigid cable 1.5–10 mm² / flexible 1–6 mm²
communication: integrated RS485 (Modbus RTU) for remote monitoring
Function
An MID-certified multi-measurement meter (PMD) designed for low voltage networks. It performs bi-directional metering (measuring both energy consumption and production) and monitors real-time electrical parameters (Current, Voltage, Power, Power Factor).
specific applications:
Legal Sub-Billing: The MID "Module B+D" certification provides the guaranteed accuracy required for sub-billing applications. This is essential for compounds where electricity costs must be legally re-invoiced to external partners or rented facilities.
Grid vs. Solar Monitoring: The 4-quadrant bi-directional metering distinguishes between imported energy (from Grid/Generator) and exported energy (from Solar PV), allowing for detailed analysis of hybrid power systems.
Installation Troubleshooting: The device includes a connection error detection function that warns of common wiring mistakes (like phase/neutral inversion), securing the installation in complex field distribution boards.
Power Quality Analysis: It measures Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) on currents and voltages, helping logisticians identify "dirty power" sources (non-linear loads) that could affect sensitive medical equipment.
