2.3 Description of the product
Measuring transducer is intended for measuring, analyzing and monitoring single-phase or three-
phase electrical power network. It measures RMS value by means of fast sampling of voltage
and current signals, which makes instrument suitable for acquisition of transient events. A built-
in microcontroller calculates measurements (voltage, current, frequency, energy, power, power
factor, THD phase angles, etc.) from the measured signals.
