Device Overview
Acrel ADL3000-E is a three-phase DIN-rail multifunction energy meter for low-voltage power systems, industrial panels, public facilities, utility sub-metering, and energy-management systems. It is best treated as an installer-led meter rather than an app-first homeowner monitor.
Core Features
The official Acrel product page positions ADL3000-E as a three-phase 0.5s kWh energy meter with RS485. The official manual documents measurement of voltage, current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, frequency, harmonics, and active/reactive energy.
Installation And Metering
Acrel documents both direct-current and transformer-input contexts. The product page lists 3 x 1(6) A and 3 x 10(80) A input-current options, while the manual separates direct-connect ADL3000-E-A wiring from transformer-setting behavior. This matters for comparison because the ordered variant determines whether the meter is suitable for direct 80 A circuits or CT-based panel metering.
Communication And Integration
ADL3000-E supports RS485 Modbus RTU, making it suitable for SCADA, PLC, EMS, gateway, and local automation integrations. EnergyMeterHub treats Home Assistant support as standards-based Modbus polling through suitable RS485 hardware, not as a native Acrel cloud integration.
Solar And Import/Export Use
The manual documents forward and reverse active/reactive energy values. That makes the device relevant for import/export visibility when installed at the correct point in a solar or energy-management system, although it is not a solar inverter or solar controller.
Buying Notes
Use the official Acrel product page and quote route to confirm the exact suffix, current-input variant, certification need, and regional availability before purchasing.
