Hpl-socomec Ct-2m Electronic Kwh Meter

What is the HPL-Socomec CT-2M Electronic kWh Meter?

The CT-2M is a high-end electronic watt meter produced by HPL Electric & Power Ltd., in partnership with Socomec, a world leader in power monitoring and management. The device is small but with great power, made to accurately measure kilowatt-hours (kWh) and is especially well-suited for integration with current transformers (CTs), making it the perfect choice for applications involving higher loads.

Key Features of the CT-2M Meter

Here’s why the HPL-Socomec CT-2M is a top pick:

1. Current Transformer Operated
The CT-2M is an externally operated CT, which means it operates with external current transformers. This enables it to measure high-current circuits with precision without direct connection to the load, enhancing safety and flexibility.

2. High Accuracy Class
With accuracy classes generally in the Class 1.0 or Class 0.5 category, the CT-2M provides extremely accurate energy readings, which are essential for billing, auditing, or monitoring consumption.

3. Digital Display
It has a clear and readable LCD display that indicates important parameters like total energy consumed (kWh), current, voltage, and power factor.

4. Multi-Function Measurement
In addition to kWh, the CT-2M measures other electrical parameters such as active energy, reactive energy, apparent power, etc.—giving you a detailed idea of your energy consumption.

5. Tamper Detection
Safety comes first. The CT-2M has tamper detection capabilities to prevent energy theft or unauthorized modification.

6. Compact & DIN Rail Mounting
Its small size means it can be mounted on DIN rail, facilitating simple installation in panels with little space or in control rooms.

Advantages of the CT-2M Meter

Having a trustworthy energy meter such as the HPL-Socomec CT-2M has some benefits:

✔️ Energy Cost Control
Since the meter properly measures energy consumption, companies are able to pinpoint trends, find wastage, and act accordingly to minimize the cost of electricity.

✔️ Load Analysis
With multi-parameter monitoring, users can perform load analysis to ensure equipment is operating efficiently and within safe limits.

✔️ Simplified Maintenance
Early detection of electrical issues through real-time data reduces downtime and the risk of equipment failure.

✔️ Improved Safety
Since the meter works with CTs, it minimizes the risks associated with directly measuring high currents.

Applications of the HPL-Socomec CT-2M

This versatile meter is used across various sectors, including:

Industrial Plants – To monitor large motors, equipment, and overall plant energy consumption.

Commercial Complexes – Tracks and monitors usage for cost recovery and efficiency.

Data Centers – Monitors energy consumption of servers and cooling equipment.

Residential Buildings – Employed in multi-dwelling where sub-metering is needed.

Renewable Energy Systems – Monitors energy production and consumption in solar or wind power installations.
