The Victron VM-3P75CT Energy Meter measures single or three-phase AC using three 75A split-core current transformers, reporting over VE.Can or Ethernet.
Split-core current transformers clip around existing conductors without disconnecting or rerouting the AC wiring. That is the difference between a meter installed in an afternoon and one requiring the main AC feed to be broken, which on a live system means shutting the boat down.
Each current channel is rated for 75A, so the conductors being measured have to fall within that. A larger service needs a different meter or higher-rated transformers, and exceeding the rating gives readings that are wrong rather than absent.
It handles single-phase or three-phase, which covers both a conventional boat and a larger vessel with three-phase distribution. Data goes to compatible Victron monitoring over VE.Can or Ethernet, so it joins an existing system rather than needing its own display. Explore more battery monitoring.
- Split-core clips around existing conductors
- No breaking the main AC feed to install it
- 75A per channel: check the conductors against it
- Single-phase or three-phase from one meter
