Accurate Circuit Monitoring for Energy Management
Current sensors such as the ABB CMS-101CA provide detailed visibility of individual electrical circuits, allowing energy-management systems to monitor loads at branch level rather than relying solely on measurements from the main incoming supply. This detailed information can help operators understand consumption patterns, identify unusual loads and improve energy transparency throughout an electrical installation.
The CMS-101CA combines a compact solid-core construction with cable-tie mounting and ABB's flat-cable communication architecture. This makes it particularly useful for distribution boards and other installations where numerous circuits must be monitored while minimising the space and wiring required for the monitoring system.
Typical Applications
- ABB InSite energy-management systems.
- Branch-circuit current monitoring.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchboards.
- Commercial building energy monitoring.
- Industrial building electrical monitoring.
