FAQs
The PXMP-MB-2A-D is designed for 3-phase, 4-wire systems and fits standard panel enclosures requiring a 12 inch depth or more. Mounting is straightforward on compatible backplanes, with a built-in display for local reads and Modbus for remote integration. Ensure supply is 120–240V and that the panel has space for a NEMA 12-rated enclosure to maintain protection levels.
Plan for 120–240V power supply, 50/60 Hz operation, and a single PXMP-MB-2A-D meter per enclosure. The device supports 3-phase, 4-wire configurations with a main fuse disconnect. The Modbus interface enables data exchange with SCADA or energy management systems, ensuring accurate energy measurement and remote monitoring across sites.
Yes. It is well-suited for commercial and light-industrial environments where panel-level energy monitoring is needed. The built-in display provides local visibility, while Modbus communication supports integration with broader energy management and automation platforms. Its NEMA 12 enclosure is ideal for indoor use in typical facility rooms and electrical closets.
The meter utilizes a NEMA 12 enclosure, offering indoor protection against dust and light moisture. While the product data emphasizes the enclosure rating, confirm regional regulatory requirements such as CE or IP-specific certifications for your project with the supplier to ensure full compliance for your installation site.
By enabling centralized energy data via Modbus and reducing field wiring, you can improve energy visibility, identify waste, and streamline maintenance scheduling. The built-in display speeds troubleshooting, and the robust enclosure reduces downtime due to environmental exposure. Over time, these factors translate into lower operational costs and faster payback on energy-efficiency initiatives.
