Extracting Data from the Branch Circuit Power Meter (BCPMA248S)

[jonathanzamban]

Hi,

I have a BCPM Advanced feature set, 48 solid core 100 A CTs (4 strips), 18 mm CT spacing (BCPMA248S) from which I will be retrieving data into a power monitoring system.

Is it possible to get the measurements from the main conductors, which the BCPM will be connected to, without using the Auxiliary CTs on the main conductors? The main conductor represents the sum of all 48 channels.

Thank you,

Jonathan.

Hello @jonathanzamban ,

I am not an expert on the BCPM meters but most modbus mappings I have seen have per circuit/phase readings or panel readings where panel information is based on the Aux CTs.

In your power monitoring system you might be able to do the math to sum up each circuit/phase to get the total for the panel.

Regards,

Charles
