Product leaflet Three phase electricity meters A43 and A44 EQ meters in Bronze version from ABB The compact and versatile EQ meters A43 and A44 are three phase meters with full four quadrants measuring meaning both active/reactive energy measurements and import/export of energy. They can be used in most of the common applications for reliable and trustworthy metering of energy usage. EQ meters A43 and A44 in Bronze version can be used in stand-alone applications or metering network installations with the option of inbuilt M-Bus or Modbus. General features The A series meters are ideal for many applications and installations. The meters support a wide voltage range as well as a wide temperature range. The display is pixel-oriented and can display up to four quantities at the same time. Navigating the meter is easily done via the push-buttons below the display. To configure the meter settings, the set button must be accessed and this button is protected against unauthorized use when the transparent lid on the front of the meter is closed and sealed. The power consumption of the meter is very low, less than 0.8 VA, makes them economical in the long run - an important feature especially for large meter populations. Communication Data from A43 and A44 in Bronze version can be collected via pulse output or serial communication. The meters are equipped with a transistor output for 5-40 VDC external supply. It can be used for pulses proportionally to the measured energy or various alarms. The meters are also available with built-in serial communication interfaces for Modbus RTU (RS-485) or M-Bus as options. Import and export measurements B21 Bronze version measures the energy flowing both in (imported) and out (exported) through the meter and saves the energy in separate registers. Approvals The A43 and A44 meters are type approved according to IEC as well as type approved and verified according to MID. MID is the Measure Instruments Directive 2004/22/EC from European Commission. The type approval is according to standards that covers all relevant technical aspects of the meter. These include climate conditions, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), electrical requirements, mechanical requirements and accuracy. Instrumentation The A43 and A44 meters in Bronze version support reading of instrument values. A large number of electrical properties can be read. * Active power - Total and per phase * Reactive power - Total and per phase * Apparent poser - Total and per phase * Current * Voltage * Power factor * Frequency Ordering details 80 A direct connected, 7 DIN Voltage V Communication Type Order code Weight 1 pc Bronze Active and reactive energy, import/export, pulse output, class B (Cl. 1), reactive Cl.2. 3 x 57.7/100... 288/500V AC - A43 211 - 100 2CMA100012R1000 0.44 RS-485 A43 212 - 100 2CMA170522R1000 0.44 M-Bus A43 213 - 100 2CMA170523R1000 0.44 Order code Weight 1 pc 6 A transformer CTVT connected, 7 DIN Voltage V Communication Type Bronze Active and reactive energy, import/export, pulse output, class B (Cl. 1), reactive Cl.2. 3 x 57.7/100... 288/500 V AC - A44 211 - 100 2CMA100031R1000 0.35 RS-485 A44 212 - 100 2CMA170534R1000 0.35 M-Bus A44 213 - 100 2CMA170535R1000 0.35 A series Technical data 3 x 230/400 V AC 3 x 57.7/100 ... 288 /500 V AC (-20% - +15%) 0.8 VA (0.8 W) total Power dissipation current circuits 0.007 VA (0.007 W) per phase at 230 V AC and Ib 0.001 VA (0.001 W) per phase at 230 V AC and Ib Base current Ib Rated current In Reference current Iref Transitional current Itr Maximum current Imax Minimum current Imin Starting current Ist Terminal wire area Recommended tightening torque Communication Terminal wire area Recommended tightening torque Transformer ratios Configurable current ratio (VT) Configurable current ratio (CT) Pulse indicator (LED) Pulse frequency Pulse length General data Frequency Accuracy Class Active energy Display of energy Environmental Operating temperature Storage temperature Humidity Resistance to fire and heat 5A 5A 0.5 A 80 A 0.25 A < 20 mA 1 - 25 mm2 3 Nm 1A 0.05 A 6A 0.01 A < 1 mA 0.5 - 10 mm2 1.5 Nm Standards Dimensions Width Height Depth DIN modules 9 10 12 9 10 12 L1 L2 L3 4 wire connection, 3 elements 3 4 1 6 7 L1 L2 L3 N 1000 imp/kWh 40 ms 5000 imp/kWh 50 or 60 Hz 5% B (Cl. 1) or reactive Cl. 2 1% Pixel oriented -40C - +70C -40C - +85C 75% yearly average, 95% on 30 days/year Terminal 960 C, cover 650C (IEC 60695-2-1) IP20 on terminal block without protective enclosure and IP51 in protective enclosure, according to IEC 60529.
