Why Choose the ABB D13 15-M 65 M-Bus Energy Meter?
The ABB D13 15-M 65 Mbus, order code 2CMA241845R1000, is a compact three-phase direct-connected energy meter with wired M-Bus communication. Designed for commercial, industrial and building-services installations, it provides direct measurement up to 65 A while occupying only three DIN modules.
The D13 15-M 65 Mbus provides four-quadrant measurement of active and reactive energy, allowing both consumption and generation to be monitored. Active energy measurement meets Class B (Class 1) accuracy under the MID framework, while reactive energy is measured to Class 2 in accordance with IEC 62053-23.
Integrated wired M-Bus communication enables remote meter reading and connection to compatible building-management and energy-management systems. The meter also provides four-tariff capability, one digital input and one digital output that can be used for pulse or alarm functions, plus measurement of electrical quantities including power, voltage, current, frequency and power factor.

Connected Three-Phase Energy Monitoring with M-Bus
The ABB D13 15-M 65 Mbus provides direct measurement on three-phase circuits up to 65 A, eliminating the need for external current transformers within its rated current range. Four-quadrant metering records energy in both import and export directions, while measurement of active and reactive energy provides detailed information about electrical consumption and generation.
Integrated wired M-Bus communication allows meter information to be collected centrally by compatible monitoring equipment. Together with four-tariff functionality, electrical instrumentation, a digital input and a configurable pulse/alarm output, this makes the D13 15-M 65 Mbus a practical solution for distributed commercial and industrial energy-monitoring systems.
