This high quality 96x96 panel energy analyser provides brilliant features at a price never reached before. 

The new bright red LCD display, the harmonic analysis , the wide set of measured parameters including the THD available in all the models, the multi-protocol capability of the RS485 port and the high accuracy class 0.5%, the 3 years-warranty period, allow to consider the STAR3 the new state of art of the panel analysers market. It is a perfect, professional and low cost solution for the electrical panels, sub-metering systems, OEM applications, supervisory systems, Building and Factory automation systems.

The high flexibility of the instrument makes it adaptable to totally different applications. The model with harmonics allows a permanent based control of one of the most important aspect of the power supply quality. Such important possibility, up to now, was reserved only to high-cost device. The STAR3 breaks this price barrier bringing, for the first time, the harmonic analysis into the market of the panel analysers

Four models available:

1) STAR3
Basic model. It shows all the measures listed in the above table. Includes an RS485 output with multi-protocol capability: Modbus RTU, Modbus IEEE and Modbus ASCII . The importance of the communication and the lower cost of the components allow today the inclusion of the RS485 port as a default features.
 Even if you are not interested in making a network of instruments, this possibility will remains always available for future developments.

2) STAR3 ALM:
as the basic model+ two relay outputs. The outputs can be set be for either alarms signalling or pulses or remote relay control.
The function "alarm" can be associated with several measures including V,A,W,THD and harmonics. Each relay has a maximum and a minimum threshold, the histeresys and the delay time. All the settings can be adjusted. If used in "pulse" mode the relays generate pulses proportional to the associated measures. Also in this case the behaviour is adjustable with the setup menu. In "remote control" the position of the relay is decided by an external master device (PLC, PC, etc) through the RS485 line . This is very convenient for load shedding application.

3) STAR3 4-20mA:
as the basic model + two analogue outputs 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA.

4) STAR3 HARMO:
as Star3 ALM+ three phase harmonics spectrum for voltage and current. In addition to the basic measures of the above table, the harmonics model displays complete information about the spectrum.
