FAQ: Elite 300 Secure Meter
- What is the Elite 300 Secure Meter and what does it measure? The Elite 300 Secure Meter is a high-precision, three-phase digital panel meter designed for both industrial and commercial applications. It accurately measures various electrical parameters using True-RMS technology, including voltage, current, power, and frequency. It can be used in 1P2W, 3P3W, and 3P4W applications.
- What are the main benefits of the Elite 300’s pass-through mechanism? The Elite 300 features a pass-through mechanism for current terminations which offers several advantages. It eliminates the risks associated with CT (current transformer) wire openings, reduces costs by removing the need for lugs and wire cutting, minimizes system burden, and simplifies installation by removing the need to tighten screws which can damage screw heads. This makes the installation process smoother and safer.
- What display options are available for the Elite series meters? The Elite series includes two main display options: the Elite 100 which comes with an LED display and features MODBUS communication, pulse output and alarm output capabilities, and, while not explicitly stated as a display option in the sources, it is implied the Elite 300 has the option of either LED or LCD display options.
- What are the key electrical specifications of the Elite 300 meter? The Elite 300 has a measuring voltage range of 20 V to 500 V, a nominal voltage range of 57.5 V to 240 V (phase to neutral) and 100 V to 415 V (phase to phase), a measuring current range of 50 mA to 6A, and a nominal current range of 1 A or 5 A. It operates within a frequency range of 45 to 65 Hz, and has an auxiliary power supply range of 40 to 300 V AC/DC. Its accuracy class is ±0.5% FS for voltage and current and ±0.5% FS (at unity PF) for power, with a temperature coefficient of 0.05% / °C for voltage and current measurements.
- What communication and output options does the Elite 300 offer? The Elite 300 can come with optional RS-485 Modbus communication, which is half-duplex, with floating point and a refresh rate of 500ms. It has configurable baud rates and parity/stop bit settings. It also has optional single pulse output at 24 to 240V DC or 48 to 240V AC, and a single alarm output of N/O type, 230V AC at 2A. All of these have pulse width options of 80 / 240 / 300 ms.
- What are some common applications for the Elite 300 meter? The Elite 300 is designed for various applications, including HV and MV switchgear panels, power control center (PCC) panels, motor control center (MCC) panels, LV distribution panels, control and relay panels, building management systems (BMS), test benches, and laboratory equipment. Its versatility makes it suitable for both industrial and commercial settings.
- What are the environmental and safety ratings of the Elite 300 meter? The Elite 300 has a front fascia protection degree of IP54, with terminals rated at IP20. It complies with IEC / EN standards for ESD and EFT, and features insulation of CAT II, 4 kV RMS 50 Hz for 1 minute. It has an impulse withstand of 6.5 kV and is designed to operate between -10°C to +60°C and stored between -25°C to +80°C with a humidity of 95% non-condensing, at a maximum altitude of 2000 m. The enclosure is made of flame retardant polycarbonate (UL 94 V0).
