Product Description:

The EL3453 is a Beckhoff terminal engineered to keep track of high-capacity generators. It functions as a power measurement module, enabling precise monitoring of voltage, current, frequency, and power in three-phase systems. Its ability to provide detailed measurement data makes the terminal suitable for applications in power generation plants, industrial automation setups and energy management systems. The terminal can be connected directly to high-voltage generator outputs, supporting direct measurement up to 690 V AC. It features 4 current inputs and 3 voltage inputs that enable it to simultaneously measure three-phase electrical systems while also offering an additional current input. This ensures that all critical parameters of generator output are captured in real-time for better system management.

This model also captures additional key metrics such as the power factor, total harmonic distortion (THD), and individual harmonics. By providing an extensive set of measurement data, the terminal enables detailed analysis of generator performance for efficient detection of inefficiencies or faults. This unit is designed to provide electrical isolation rated up to 4500 V, protecting both the terminal and the connected control systems from potential electrical faults.

The EL3453 terminal has a typical E-bus current consumption of 260 mA, helping to minimize the load on the E-bus. It operates optimally at -25°C to +60°C, performing reliably in both hot and cold environments. Its robust temperature tolerance ensures consistent measurement accuracy and dependable system monitoring under varying climate demands. This module is CE and UL approved, ensuring compliance with key safety and performance standards. It also comes with a 12-month Wake Industrial warranty.
