Typical Motor Types Protected
Product Series: Choose the Right Model for Your Needs
| Model Series | Positioning | Key Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| ARD2 / ARD2L | Economical | Basic protection + networking, ideal for simple motor circuits |
| ARD2F / ARD2M | Cost-Effective | Protection + control + networking, with flexible mounting (wall-mounted/DIN-rail) |
| ARD3 | Balanced Performance | All-round protection, measurement, and communication for mainstream industrial needs |
| ARD3M / ARD3T | High-End | Advanced programmable functions, multi-protocol communication, and detailed data recording |

6 Core Functions: More Than Just Protection
1. Comprehensive Protection (Avoid Motor Damage)
- Short circuit, phase loss, overload, and stalling protection
- Voltage sag (anti-interference/anti-sway electricity) protection (critical for continuous production)
- Leakage current protection and temperature monitoring (supports PTC/NTC/PT100 sensors)
- Customizable protection stages, start-up shielding time, and action settings
2. Flexible Control Options
- Multiple control methods (direct start, two-step start, etc.)
- Programmable input/output ports (up to 10 standard inputs, 6 standard outputs)
- Timer, counter, and logic programming functions (high-end models)
- Adapts to cabinet types: drawers, vertical cabinets, and control boxes
3. Precise Measurement & Monitoring
- Basic parameters: Three-phase voltage, current, power, energy, and power factor
- Advanced parameters (high-end models): 2-63rd harmonics, positive/negative sequence current, zero-sequence voltage
- Leakage current and temperature data
- Harmonic analysis (up to 63rd order) for energy optimization
4. Smart Operation & Maintenance Records
- Automatically logs start/stop events, fault history, running time, and fault counts
- Waveform recording (high-end models) for troubleshooting
- Disturbance recorder to track voltage fluctuations and anomalies
- Easy access to data for predictive maintenance
5. Versatile Communication Networking
- Standard protocols: MODBUS-RTU, PROFIBUS-DP
- Advanced options (high-end models): PROFINET, Ethernet, wireless networking
- Connects to PLC, DCS, and ECMS systems (common in power plants and large factories)
- Supports centralized monitoring of multiple motors
6. User-Friendly Human-Computer Interaction
- Clear display panels: Digital tube (basic models), monochrome LCD, or color LCD (high-end models)
- Simple operation buttons: Start, stop, reset, alarm, and ESC
- Intuitive interface for setting parameters and checking status
Industry-Specific Solutions
1. Power Plant Applications
- Needs: High reliability, waveform/fault recording, multi-protocol communication, anti-shake function
- Recommended Model: ARD3M (supports detailed parameter measurement and integration with DCS/ECMS systems)
- Associated Systems: Works with PLC, DCS, and ECMS for centralized motor management

2. Chemical Industry Applications
- Needs: Continuous production support, anti-interference electricity, fault recording, and multi-protocol communication
- Recommended Models: ARD2F, ARD3, ARD3M (ARD3M-K1-XX/SU-60L1 for anti-sway electricity)
- Key Feature: Anti-interference electricity function resists voltage sags caused by lightning, short circuits, or large load starts—preventing unexpected motor shutdowns

Acrel ADW300A IoT Power Meter For Global Low‑Voltage End‑Circuit Sub‑Metering
Against tightening global energy‑saving regulations such as EPBD, ISO 50001 and ASHRAE 90.1‑2025, system integrators face real‑world challenges in low‑voltage end‑circuit sub‑metering: cabinet‑space constraints, mixed new‑build & retrofit sites, mismatched current sensors and diverse communication infrastructures. This article introduces Acrel ADW300A series DIN‑rail IoT power meter, supporting 5A secondary CT, split‑core CT and Rogowski‑coil sampling, with RS485, WiFi, LoRa, LoRaWAN and regional 4G uplink options. It delivers multi‑parameter measurement, harmonic analysis, historical‑data logging and hardware‑based extension functions. Real‑world project cases from Europe, Latin‑America and Southeast‑Asia illustrate deployment guidance, configuration tips and pre‑shipment & commissioning checklists for global commercial, industrial and remote‑site sub‑metering projects.
