Digital Panel Multimeters

A digital panel multimeter is an electronic measuring device that shows the voltage, current and frequency values of the three phases together on an LED or LCD display. It is used in distribution, generator and power factor correction panels to read the instantaneous electrical values of the line from the panel door and to monitor them remotely when needed. This category includes 96 × 96 mm and 72 × 72 mm panel-mount models as well as DIN rail housing models; types with an X/5 A current transformer input, with the current transformer included in the box, with RS485 Modbus RTU communication and with relay outputs are available. Select the model by the parameters it measures, current input, communication and protection functions, display type and supply voltage. Some models offer adjustable protection for high-low voltage, current and frequency and for phase sequence; the list includes Tense, Entes and Schneider Electric multimeters. A digital panel multimeter is not a substitute for an energy analyzer; an analyzer is used where harmonic analysis and detailed energy recording are required.

How to choose Digital Panel Multimeters

A digital panel multimeter is an electronic measuring device that shows the voltage, current and frequency values of the three phases together on an LED or LCD display. It is used in distribution, generator and power factor correction panels to read the instantaneous electrical values of the line from the panel door and to monitor them remotely when needed.

  • Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
  • Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
  • Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
