Multifunction Power Meter for Single-Phase / Three-Phase Power Monitoring and Analysis

CMFM-F, CMFM-G

Multifunction power meters of the CMFM Series provide single-phase and three-phase power monitoring, energy management, and power quality analysis for industrial control panels, factories, commercial buildings, and residential complexes. Supporting 1P2W, 1P3W, 3P3W, and 3P4W systems, they measure voltage, current, power, power factor, frequency, bidirectional energy, maximum demand, total harmonic distortion (THD), individual harmonic distortion (IHD), and harmonic analysis up to the 63rd harmonic order. Built-in RS485 Modbus RTU communication enables seamless integration with SCADA and energy management systems.

About the Product

Multifunction Power Meters of the CMFM Series, consisting of the CMFM-F (Standard Model) and CMFM-G (Advanced Model), are high-speed multifunction power meters designed for versatile electrical monitoring and power quality analysis applications. With a sampling rate of up to 128 samples per cycle, they support a wide range of electrical systems, including single-phase 2-wire (1P2W), single-phase 3-wire (1P3W), three-phase 3-wire (3P3W), and three-phase 4-wire (3P4W) configurations, enabling accurate measurement of a comprehensive range of electrical parameters, including harmonics, power factor, and other power quality indicators.

These multifunction power meters are widely used in industrial control panel power monitoring systems, as well as for energy management and power quality analysis in factories, office buildings, and residential complexes.

Equipped with a built-in RS485 communication interface, supporting communication speeds of up to 38,400 bps and the Modbus RTU protocol, the CMFM Series integrates seamlessly with a wide range of data acquisition and monitoring systems, including SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and energy management systems for remote monitoring applications.

Current input requires an external current transformer (1 A or 5 A secondary). When system voltage exceeds 600 V, an external voltage transformer is also required for voltage measurement, allowing real-time monitoring across a wide range of low- and high-voltage power systems.
