Why it is useful

One meter for every electrical parameter your operation needs

LG6400P replaces multiple individual instruments — voltmeter, ammeter, power meter, energy meter, and power quality analyser — in a single 96×96 mm panel unit with Modbus RTU for IoT connectivity.

Comprehensive 3-Phase Monitoring

Measures V, A, kW, kVA, kVAR, kWh, PF, Hz, and THD across all 3 phases simultaneously — from a single panel instrument replacing multiple meters.

RS485 Modbus RTU Integration

Standard Modbus RTU over RS485 connects LG6400P to IoT gateways, PLCs, DCS, and SCADA systems — supporting up to 247 devices on a single bus.

Class 0.5 True RMS Accuracy

128 samples/cycle simultaneous sampling with ±1% Class 0.5 accuracy ensures reliable readings even with non-linear and variable industrial loads and harmonics.

Use Cases

Where LG6400P
fits well

Install LG6400P where a single panel instrument needs to cover all electrical parameters — from billing-grade energy measurement to power quality analysis.

  • DG Set (generator) monitoring — load, energy output, PF, frequency, and runtime via Aether IoT integration.
  • LT panels and MCC panels in industrial facilities — monitoring feeder loads, consumption, and power quality.
  • Distribution boards in commercial buildings — tenant sub-metering and energy billing verification.
  • Renewable energy systems — solar inverter output monitoring and grid import/export measurement (4-quadrant energy).
  • Motor and pump panels — load efficiency monitoring with programmable slots for Watts and Current across 5 time slots.

Aether Integration

Connect energy meter data to the Aether platform

Aether connects LG6400P Modbus data — via a TRB145 RS485 gateway — into energy dashboards with live kWh, load trend reports, demand alerts, and multi-site energy visibility.

Energy Monitoring kWh Tracking DG Set Monitoring Demand Alerts Modbus RTU
  • Live electrical parameters — voltage, current, kW, PF, and frequency — on Aether energy dashboards per feeder or panel.
  • Energy consumption trends — hourly, daily, and monthly kWh tracking for billing reconciliation and efficiency analysis.
  • Demand alerts — notifications when kW or kVA demand exceeds configured thresholds to avoid excess tariff charges.
  • Multi-panel deployment — read from multiple LG6400P meters via a single RS485 bus (up to 247 devices) using the TRB145 gateway.
FAQ

Common questions about LG6400P

LG6400P measures voltage (3-phase + line-to-line), current, kW, kVA, kVAR, kWh (import/export), kVAh, kVARh, power factor, frequency, RPM, phase angle, THD up to 15th harmonic, demand, max demand, CO₂ emissions, and power interruption count — all from a single 96×96 mm panel instrument.
LG6400P communicates via RS485 Modbus RTU. It connects to the Aether energy monitoring platform through a TRB145 RS485/Modbus IoT gateway. Up to 247 meters can be daisy-chained on a single RS485 bus, with each meter addressed uniquely (1–247) for multi-panel monitoring from a single gateway.
The standard LG6400P is Class 1.0 per IEC 62053-21. Class 0.5S (IEC 62053-22) and Class 0.2S options are available for billing-grade applications. The meter uses 128 samples/cycle simultaneous True RMS measurement for accuracy even with non-linear loads and harmonics.
Yes. LG6400P is designed for use with external CTs (current transformers). The CT and PT ratios are field-programmable up to 2000 MVA — making it compatible with virtually any existing MV/LV installation without rewiring the power circuit.
LG6400P fits standard 96×96 mm panel cutouts — suitable for DG set control panels, LT distribution panels, MCC (motor control centres), feeder panels, distribution boards, and solar inverter panels. Its wide auxiliary supply range (80–300V AC/DC) allows installation across different voltage systems without a separate power supply.
