Product Description

The WattsOn universal power transducer utilizes cutting edge technology to implement a multi-functional power and energy transducer into a small, cost-effective package. WattsOn incorporates three meters into one to provide a unique solution for monitoring up to three single-phase loads, or one three-phase load. By using two of the inputs, it may be used with split-phase loads also.

WattsOn provides comprehensive per phase (as well as cumulative) information, including Volts, Amps, Real Power, Reactive Power, Apparent Power, Watt-hours, VAR-hours, VA-hours, Power Factor and Frequency.

Power (Real and Reactive) is a signed measurement and the meter accumulates both import and export energies as well as capacitive and reactive energy.

The unit accepts up to 600V (line-to-line) directly without the need for potential transformers. It accepts standard mV output CTs (333mV or 1000mV full scale output), as well as Elkor's line of "safe" mA split and solid core CTs. Optionally, the unit may be equipped with an internal interfacing module to accept any standard 5A CT.

The WattsOn transducer features a high accuracy chipset and provides register updates up to two times per second. The true-RMS inputs may be used even with distorted waveforms such as those generated by variable frequency drives and SCR loads.

Information is available via the RS-485 (Modbus RTU) output port. In addition, two solid-state relay pulse outputs are available for Wh energy pulses as well as Qh pulses or direction of power flow indication. Optionally, the second pulse output may be substituted for two 0-10VDC outputs that may represent any instantaneous parameter that the meter measures. The analog outputs and their scaling may be field selected and adjusted via the RS-485 output port.

An optional Display Module (WattsOn-DISP) is available for localized or remote viewing of measured parameters.
