Why Choose the ABB B24 112-100 Energy Meter?
The ABB B24 112-100 is a compact three-phase DIN-rail energy meter designed for transformer-connected measurement using 5 A current transformers. Part of ABB's DIN Rail Mounted Meters range, it provides accurate active energy measurement for three-phase commercial, industrial and building energy-monitoring applications.
Designed for 3 × 230/400 V AC systems, the B24 112-100 provides Class B active-energy accuracy and supports both three-wire and four-wire installations. Its transformer-connected architecture makes it suitable for monitoring circuits where the primary current exceeds the direct measurement capability of conventional DIN-rail meters.
Integrated RS-485 communication with Modbus RTU enables measurement data to be incorporated into compatible building management, automation and energy-monitoring systems. A pulse output, instrumentation values, alarm functionality and an easy-to-read backlit display provide additional flexibility for local and remote energy monitoring.

Three-Phase CT Energy Monitoring with RS-485
The ABB B24 112-100 uses external current transformers with a 5 A secondary, allowing three-phase energy consumption to be measured on circuits with primary currents beyond the direct-connected range of standard DIN-rail meters. This makes the meter particularly suitable for distribution boards, commercial installations and industrial electrical systems where CT-based metering is required.
Its integrated RS-485 interface with Modbus RTU enables energy and instrumentation data to be transmitted to compatible building management, automation and energy-monitoring systems. Together with its pulse output, alarm functionality and locally accessible instrumentation values, the B24 112-100 provides a flexible platform for both standalone and networked three-phase energy monitoring.
