Universal four-function AC Power Meters provide compact true-rms metering solution
Expanding its Datel offering of Digital Panel Meters, Murata Power Solutions has introduced a new series of four-function AC Power Meters. The ACM20 series is able to measure and display AC Volts, Amps, Watts and Power Factor with a typical accuracy of ±0.5% full-scale. Unlike conventional average-responding products, the new meters accurately display true-rms voltage and current values of triangle and square waves plus other irregularly shaped waveforms.
The A front panel selector switch provides two modes of operation: a fixed reading of any of the four parameters, or a continuous cycling through of all four measurements. An optional model is available that is also able to display line frequency with 0.1Hz resolution. All ACM20 multi-function Power Meters include built-in current transformers and require no user supplied components.
With a large 9.2mm (0.36in.), four-digit, bright red LED display, ACM20 series’ measurements can be easily read from distances of up to five metres. The one-piece, vibration resistant polycarbonate housing is suitable for installation in vertical 0U and 1U rack spaces, and the surface mount design with overall dimensions of 53.3mm (2.1in.) x 36.3mm (1.43in.) x 12.95mm (0.51in.) occupies minimal panel space. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +60°C.
