Mouser Electronics, the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the new EMpro AC energy meters from Phoenix Contact. The EMpro AC energy meters enable cost-center-specific energy management, featuring energy data billing for key parameters, such as currents, voltages, power factors and energy values in industrial energy management, smart energy networks, and building automation applications.
The Phoenix Contact EMpro devices, available from Mouser, are energy meters for billing purposes that enable cost-center-specific energy billing and are certified in accordance with the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) 2014/32/EU. They support single-phase 2-conductor, three-phase 3-conductor, and three-phase 4-conductor applications with submetering, power quality, load management and efficiency monitoring, including direct measurement or current transformer versions to identify energy waste and potential energy savings. The measurement data is provided via standard communication interfaces (BACnet or Modbus), which enhance the provision of measurement data for HVAC systems, EV chargers, PV systems and building management systems, metering all four quadrants with direct current measurement up to 277 VAC (phase/neutral conductor) or 480 VAC (phase/phase).
The EMpro AC energy meters provide information to a higher-level control system, such as an energy management system, resulting in less programming effort due to intuitive operation and standardized Modbus register readings via an LC display. The transformer measurement input current can also be configured for 1- or 5-amp transformers, allowing the transformer ratio to be parameterized. They operate in the -40°C to +70°C temperature range.
