Introduction
The M220 Communicating
Measurement Centre uses numerical
technology to achieve high
accuracy over a wide dynamic
measuring range. It measures
energy, demand and instantaneous
values for single or three phase
systems, and can be linked into a
system using the MODBUS protocol.
Housed in a DIN 144mm by
144mm by 117mm (max) case, the
M220 is compact, rugged and ideal
for panel mounting in power
distribution or power monitoring
systems.
Application
M220 applications include;
• Accurate monitoring of
instantaneous and integrated
values
• Active energy measurement to
IEC 61036 class 1.0
• Replacement of separate energy
meters and instrumentation in
cost-sensitive applications
• Distributed monitoring using an
integrated system

The M220 is intended for use on
systems where energy monitoring
and instrumentation are required,
• Power factor CosΦa, CosΦb,
providing volts, amps, watts, VArs,
CosΦc, CosΦt

well as metering for active and • Phase voltage Ua, Ub,
reactive power. Demand values for Uc, U
current, active, reactive and
• Line voltage Uab, Ubc,

In this application, the M220 can
provide a more cost-effective • Current Ia, Ib,
solution than using separate Ic, In

required with order The standard devices on offer reflect
the new normalised European
Non-standard VT and/or voltage, eg. 230V L-N will work on
auxiliary voltages; a 220V or 240V system. Therefore,
if for example a 220V unit is
VT V L-L or requested, a nominal 230V unit will
be supplied.

displayed changes according
