Reliable CT-Connected Energy Monitoring
Current-transformer-connected meters such as the ABB B24 353-100 allow three-phase electrical systems to be monitored without routing the full load current through the energy meter. External current transformers provide a reduced measurement current to the meter, making this architecture suitable for higher-current distribution circuits while maintaining accurate measurement of active and reactive energy.
The B24 353-100 extends this functionality with bidirectional import/export measurement, multi-tariff registers, electrical instrumentation, alarms and event logging. Integrated M-Bus communication allows meter information to be collected remotely by compatible building-management and energy-management systems, providing a practical platform for detailed consumption analysis and sub-metering.
