FAQ

What is the difference between D11 15 and D13 15?

Both meters fall within the new Range 15. D11 is a direct meter capable of handling up to 40A in single phase, whereas D13 accommodates up to 65A in three phases. The display of D11 features a dual line with 6 digits in the main, while D13 boasts 7 and additional icons. Both can leverage Mbus or Modbus RTU communication protocol.

Can energy meters be installed with both CT and VT?

ABB provides tailored energy meters working via CT and VT: A42 (1-phase indirect meter) and A44 (3-phase indirect meter) support both CT and VT, while B24 (3-phase indirect meter) is designed for CT-only use.

What are the communication protocols available for meters range?

Two different protocols are available for meters range: Mbus and Modbus RTU.

Where can I find technical documentation for the energy meters?

You can access all types of technical documentation, including installation guides, user manuals, communication manuals, as well as certificates of conformity issued by external entities in the below section or here.
