The Carlo Gavazzi EM270 from NHP is a dual 3-phase energy meter developed to reduce metering space and save installation time.
The increasing need to monitor energy usage as well as the requirements of NABERS, Green Star and Section J 8 of the BCA has seen a rise in meter installation time and a decline in valuable panelboard/loadcentre real estate. The product, which squeezes three meters into one, addresses this by using fewer wires and terminals compared to other traditional solutions. It also features a daisy-chain voltage and serial bus.
The company claims the energy meter saves up to 90% of the installation time. Users can install the meter in the panel or in a DIN rail by placing the patented removable display in the relevant side and connect three-phase current transformers quickly with no wiring error.
