DIN RAIL MOUNTED MULTI DISPLAY ENERGY METER

The RAIL 350 is a Din rail mounted (6 module width) multi display energy meter suitable for both three phase and single phase loads and if three phase both 3 wire or 4 wire balanced or unbalanced loads, inductive or resistive. The RAIL 350 is fully programmable to set up CT ratios, the CT secondary can be specified at ordering as either conventional 5 Amp or 1 Amp, or as 333mVAC which are used in application scenarios where the CT’s are sited a distance away from the meter and VA burden within the secondary cabling is an issue. The RAIL 350 auto scales to Wh, KWh, MWh etc, depending on the CT ratio programmed. The RAIL 350 is able to accept a very wide voltage input span of 80-480V L-L or 46-277V L-N, thus enabling the RAIL 350 to be used on VT circuits such as 11KV/110V, therefore a VT ratio can also be programmed if required.

Please note, the optional Voltage Expander module as detailed for the CUBE 350 and CUBE 400 cannot be used with the RAIL 350

Pulse Outputs - All RAIL 350’s have dual isolated volt free pulse outputs as standard for KWh & KVArh for interfacing to external equipment such as BMS systems.

MODBUS Communications - The RAIL 350 can also be specified optionally with MODBUS RS485 whilst still retaining the pulse outputs. Via the MODBUS communications comes Harmonics information, individual to the 15th and THD to the 30th.

IP Ethernet Option – With built in Web pages showing parameters of; Energy, Power, Volts, Amps, Power Factor and digital input/s and output/s set-up, with total logging of up to 60 parameters. Set up logging for TCP/IP protocols FTP / HTTP / TFTP / SNMP for directly interfacing with energy management software and building control solutions. Additionally RAIL 350’s with the IP Ethernet option comes with three scalable digital pulse inputs from say other utility meters, such as gas and water etc, which can also be read via the Web pages. Two digital alarm outputs are also provided along with the standard pulse outputs that all RAIL 350’s have. Harmonics, individual to the 15th and THD to the 30th is a standard on IP Ethernet meters.
