Why Choose the ABB A44 352-100 Three-Phase Energy Meter?
The ABB A44 352-100 is an advanced three-phase current-transformer-connected DIN rail energy meter designed for accurate measurement and monitoring of electrical energy in industrial, commercial and building installations. As part of the ABB A44 EQ meter series, this Silver-functionality meter combines high-accuracy energy measurement with extensive instrumentation, alarm, tariff and communication capabilities.
The A44 352-100 measures active and reactive energy for both import and export, allowing consumption and generation to be recorded separately. Its large backlit pixel-oriented display provides clear access to energy and electrical instrumentation values, while integrated RS-485 communication with Modbus RTU and EQ Bus enables straightforward connection to compatible building management, energy monitoring and industrial automation systems.
Designed for three-phase transformer-connected measurement with a 1 A nominal CT secondary, the A44 352-100 is suitable for higher-current installations where indirect metering is required. It supports three- and four-wire systems, up to four tariffs, 25 configurable alarms and event logging, while two inputs and two outputs provide additional flexibility for pulse and alarm functions.

Accurate CT-Connected Energy Monitoring
The ABB A44 352-100 uses external current transformers to measure electrical systems where direct-connected metering is unsuitable. This makes the meter particularly useful for higher-current distribution circuits, switchboards and industrial installations while maintaining high active-energy measurement accuracy.
Its RS-485 interface supports Modbus RTU and EQ Bus communication, allowing measured energy and instrumentation data to be integrated into centralised energy management, building automation and industrial monitoring systems. Import and export registers, multiple tariffs, configurable alarms and event logging provide additional information for analysing consumption, generation and electrical operating conditions.
