ABB M-Bus CT Meter A44 213-100 (2CMA170535R1000)

Accurate energy measurement in three-phase networks with current transformer connection can be challenging, especially when remote reading and multi-tariff billing are required. The ABB M-Bus CT Meter A44 213-100 solves this by providing precise active and reactive energy metering with an integrated M-Bus interface for remote data collection.

Who is it for

This meter is intended for electricians, facility managers, and energy service companies who need to monitor consumption in commercial or industrial buildings, sub-metering applications, or utility billing where current transformers are used for high-current circuits.
