Electrical Power & Protection


Power meter available in 96 x 96 mm format

November 2002 Electrical Power & Protection

The Camille Bauer A210 power meter measures all parameters in 3 phase electrical systems, such as current and voltage, active, reactive and apparent power, power factor, frequency, neutral conductor current and energy. With its compact dimensions of only 96 x 96 mm and an installation depth of only 46 mm, the A210 fits into practically any control cabinet. Distributors, Timecount, also supply a 144 x 144 mm unit.

Measurement is performed at all quadrants. Any two measured quantities can be monitored via two digital outputs. If, for example, current or voltage is selected, the A210 automatically monitors values for all three phases. Alternatively, these two outputs can be used as pulse outputs for energy values.

Good legibility is assured with the high contrast, LED display with a height of 14 mm, even in dark rooms from considerable distances. The simplest variant can be retrofitted with communications capabilities or a data memory module without making any changes to the basic device. The respective modules are simply snapped onto the back of the instrument. Current outputs are electronically isolated from one another and from all other electric circuits for maximum safety. The voltage inputs, auxiliary power connections and limit value outputs are also electrically isolated from one another. All applicable European regulations are complied with.

The modules necessary for communication via RS485, ie for storage of load profiles with included serial interface are also available.
