WattNode 480 VAC 3-Phase Delta/Wye kWh Transducer Sensor

Important Info

Overview

The WattNode provides accurate measurement at low cost to meet your needs for sub-metering, net-metering, energy management, and performance contracting applications. This WattNode Delta or Wye-connection kWh Transducer works with Magnelab AC Current Transformers and a Pulse Input Adapter to provide True RMS kilowatt hours of energy used, even for loads with non-sinusoidal waveforms. Because these sensors tie directly into the line, they should be used only by qualified personnel. This model supports a 3-phase Delta-connection of 480 VAC.

Highlighted Features

• Measures 1, 2, or 3 phases in 2, 3, or 4 wire configurations.
