General Specifications

Voltage: 0-100V (higher voltages available)

Current: Up to 1000A (2000A in parallel), up to 4000A with external PCC

Power: up to 72kW (200kW in parallel), up to 288kW with external PCC

Circuits: up to 4

Network: Ethernet

Accuracy: ±0.1% of FS*

Data Sampling Rate: up to 10mS

*Accuracy values are conservative assuming operation will be through the standard temperature range of 0-40˚ C and RH from 10-90% (non-condensing). Units calibrated and maintained in a temperature and humidity controlled environment can expect an accuracy of 0.02-0.05%FS.
