Product Features
- High-Precision Measurement: Adopts Eaton’s self-developed high-precision current transformers and voltage shunts to meet industrial-level metering requirements.
- Modular Design: Enables function expansion through optional communication cards and I/O cards, facilitating flexible configuration for different on-site needs.
- Powerful Communication Capabilities: Supports mainstream industrial protocols such as Modbus and Ethernet, enabling easy integration with SCADA, DCS, or cloud platforms for remote monitoring and data analysis.
- Local Display and Alarm: The LCD displays key electrical parameters in real time, and digital I/O can directly drive local alarm lights or relays for quick on-site fault location.
- Durability: Complies with IEC 60529 IP20 protection class, suitable for harsh industrial environments inside cabinets or distribution boxes.
Structure and Composition
- Main Unit Housing: Metal casing integrating voltage/current sampling modules, processor, memory, and display unit internally.
- Communication Card (Com. Exp.): Plug-in slot providing interfaces such as Modbus/Ethernet.
- I/O Expansion Card: Offers digital input/output channels for direct connection to external relays, alarm lights, or switching signals.
- Power Supply Module: Internal rectification and voltage stabilization circuits ensure stable operation of the meter under 120 V/240 V AC power supply.
- Mounting Bracket: Standard DIN rail or panel mounting accessories for easy fixation inside distribution cabinets.
Typical Application Fields
- Industrial Power Distribution Monitoring: Energy consumption statistics and power factor management for high-power loads in large manufacturing plants, metallurgy, and chemical industries.
- Commercial Building Energy Management: Electrical energy metering and cost allocation in office buildings, shopping malls, and hotels.
- Public Facilities: Locations with strict requirements for power quality such as airports, railway stations, and hospitals.
- Renewable Energy Integration: Power monitoring and inverter control at photovoltaic and wind power grid connection points.
- Data Centers: Accurate measurement of IT load power to optimize PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness).
Installation Guidelines
- Location Selection: Install inside distribution cabinets or dedicated racks to ensure ventilation and heat dissipation.
- Wiring: Connect voltage transformers (VT) and current transformers (CT) in accordance with IEC 61850/62053 standards, and verify phase sequence.
- Communication Wiring: For Ethernet, use shielded twisted pair (Cat5e/6) with proper grounding; for Modbus RTU, use RS-485 bus with terminal resistors.
- Power Supply Connection: Confirm that the supply voltage matches the meter’s rated power supply, and use dedicated terminals to prevent loosening.
- Calibration: Perform on-site calibration after initial power-on to ensure consistency between CT/VT ratio coefficients and internal meter settings.
Maintenance Recommendations
- Regular Inspection: Check for loose wiring terminals and CT/VT fixing screws every 6 months, and clean dust.
- Firmware Upgrade: Access the Eaton Web Portal via Ethernet to check and update meter firmware for the latest features and security patches.
- Self-Test Function: Use the meter’s built-in Self-Test function to regularly verify the integrity of measurement channels.
- Spare Parts Management: Keep spare communication cards, I/O cards, and power supply modules on hand for quick replacement of faulty components.
- Record Keeping: Save installation and commissioning reports, calibration certificates, and maintenance logs to meet audit and energy consumption analysis requirements.
