ABB EM/S3.16.1 Energy Module, 3-fold, 16/20 A, MDRC

Description

Introduction

The ABB EM/S3.16.1 (Product ID: 2CDG110148R0011) is a 3-fold Modular DIN-Rail Component (MDRC) energy module designed to measure electrical parameters and energy consumption directly in terminal current circuits. Operating across a voltage range of 110 to 230 V AC, this compact unit integrates seamlessly into building automation networks using ABB i-bus® KNX. This device is part of our KNX System Components products range.

Equipped with 3 direct-connection outputs and rated for a maximum switching current of 20 A, the device delivers precise monitoring of active power, current, voltage, and frequency. Through integrated threshold value monitoring and peak load control, systems can effectively manage electrical demand without requiring external batteries or manual intervention controls.

Key Features

• 3-fold direct connection outputs for direct measurement in terminal currents.
• Real-time monitoring of Active Power, Current, Voltage, and Frequency.
