Product Description
Three-phase energy meter
with removable front LCD
display unit. The same unit
can be used either as a
DIN-rail mounting or a pan-
el mounting energy meter.
This general purpose three-
phase energy meter is suit-
able for both active and
reactive energy metering
for cost allocation but also
for main electrical parame-
ter measurement and
retransmission (transducer
function). Housing for DIN-
rail mounting with IP50

Current measurements car-
ried out by means of exter-

and voltage measurements
carried out either by means
of direct connection or by
means of potential trans-
formers. EM21-72D is pro-
vided, as standard, with a
pulsating output for active
energy retransmission. In
addition a 2-wire RS485
communication port is
available as an option.
