When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for high-voltage industrial applications exceeding its 230V rating or for currents higher than 16A. It is also not suitable for environments requiring remote network-based management or advanced software integration, as it functions primarily as a direct measurement tool.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16A
• Input voltage: 230V (220-250V range)
• Connector type: IEC309-16A 2P+G
• Dimensions: 178 mm width, 140 mm depth, 44 mm height
• Type: Electronic plug-in meter

How to use

To use the APC In-Line Current Meter, connect the device directly between your power source and the equipment load using the compatible IEC309-16A 2P+G interface. Once connected, the meter will automatically begin monitoring the current flow. Ensure that the total load does not exceed the 16A rating to maintain safe operation and accurate readings.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your power source and equipment utilize the IEC309-16A 2P+G connector standard.
• Ensure your total power load remains within the 16A limit.
• Check the physical space available in your rack or power distribution area to accommodate the device dimensions.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points to ensure they are secure and free from dust or debris to maintain measurement accuracy and electrical safety.
