ADM100TC FAQ
Q: What voltage range does this meter support?
A: It operates on 230V/400V AC with an operational range of 70-130%Ub.
Q: Can this meter be installed on a DIN rail?
A: Yes, it is designed for quick and secure DIN rail mounting.
Q: What is the maximum current this meter can handle?
A: The ADM100TC supports up to 100A across three phases.
Q: What does Rated Current (A) 1.5(6)A/CT, 3(6)A/CT, 5(30)A, 10(60)A, 15(90)A, 20(100)A, mean?
A: Explanation of Each Format
1. 5A/CT
- CT stands for Current Transformer.
- This meter is designed to work with external current transformers and expects a 5 Amp secondary input from the CT.
- Commonly used in high-current installations (e.g. 200A, 400A) where it’s not practical to run full load current directly through the meter.
2. x(y)A Format
Examples: 5(30)A, 15(90)A, 20(100)A
This format shows both the base and maximum current ratings:
- x = base (nominal) current – the expected continuous load
- y = maximum current – the peak load the meter can safely handle
Examples:
- 5(30)A → Base: 5A, Max: 30A
- 10(60)A → Base: 10A, Max: 60A
- 15(90)A → Base: 15A, Max: 90A
- 20(100)A → Base: 20A, Max: 100A
Why So Many Options?
These options represent different variants of the ADM100TC meter, tailored to suit a range of installation needs:
- 5A/CT model – For high-current loads using external CTs
- Direct-connect models – For loads up to 15A, 30A, 90A, or 100A with no CTs required
What You Should Choose?
- If you’re metering a sub-board or circuit under 100A, go with a direct-connect model like 20(100)A
- If you’re metering a large service (e.g. 200A or more), use the 5A/CT model with CTs rated appropriately for the expected load.
