IME S.p.A. CE4DF3DTMID Three-Phase Direct Measurement Energy Meter 63A with RS485 and Dual Tariff

The IME S.p.A. CE4DF3DTMID is a professional three-phase energy meter engineered for precise direct measurement of electrical consumption up to 63A. This compact 4-module device is designed for integration into electrical distribution systems, providing reliable monitoring of both active and reactive power. Equipped with an integrated RS485 communication interface, it facilitates seamless data transmission for remote energy management systems. The meter supports dual-tariff functionality, allowing for flexible energy tracking based on time-of-use requirements.

Advantages

This energy meter offers high-precision measurement capabilities suitable for demanding industrial and commercial environments. The inclusion of an RS485 interface ensures compatibility with modern building automation and energy management software, enabling real-time data analysis. Its dual-tariff support provides the flexibility needed to optimize energy costs by monitoring consumption during different rate periods. The direct measurement design simplifies installation by eliminating the need for external current transformers for loads up to 63A, while the 4-module DIN-rail mountable form factor ensures efficient use of space in electrical panels.

Suitable for

• Industrial energy management and monitoring
• Commercial building power consumption tracking
• Multi-tariff electrical billing applications
