  • Modular three-phase energy meter | 100 A | 3×230/400 V | 1 tariff | S0 pulse output | DIN | Zamel LEM-30

    Code: LEM-30
    Barcode: 5903669207092

    A simple direct-connected three-phase meter for 3×230/400 V networks up to 100 A, accuracy class 1 to IEC 62053-21. It shows consumed active energy in kWh and has an S0 output at 1000 imp/kWh. Intended for non-billing (internal) metering – the manufacturer does not state MID.

  • Modular three-phase energy meter | 100 A | 3×230/400 V | 1 tariff | S0 pulse output | DIN | Zamel LEM-30

    The Zamel LEM-30 is a modular three-phase energy meter for direct connection to 3-phase 4-wire 3×230/400 V networks up to 100 A. It is designed for internal metering in commercial and industrial sites, workshops or home circuits where you need to know how much a specific line or machine consumes.

    Key point:
    The meter measures active energy with accuracy class 1 (IEC 62053-21) and shows it on a backlit LCD. It connects directly up to 100 A without current transformers, and the S0 output at 1000 imp/kWh passes readings to a controller or pulse counting system. A simple, no-configuration solution – but without MID, so it is not for billing third parties.

    Bidirectional metering
    The manufacturer does not state whether energy fed back to the grid is recorded separately – there is one active energy register. If import and export must be separated, choose a bidirectional model such as the Orno OR-WE-517.

    Communication interfaces and integration

    S0 pulse output
    Open-collector (OC) output 12–27 V DC, <27 mA, 90 ms pulse, 1000 imp/kWh – connects to a PLC, pulse counter, data logger or a Home Assistant pulse input.
    RS485 / Modbus
    Not available – readings are taken from the display or via S0 pulses.

    Operating principle

    The meter mounts on a TH35 DIN rail and connects directly: L1, L2, L3, N inputs (1–4) and outputs (5–8). Main terminals accept 4–25 mm² conductors.

    It measures three-phase active energy and accumulates it in one register; a red LED flashes in proportion to the load and S0 pulses are generated at the same rate.

    The result is consumed energy in kWh on the backlit LCD (5+2 digits) plus a pulse signal for automation.

    Why choose the Zamel LEM-30?
    It separates the consumption of one line, machine or room up to 100 A cheaply and clearly, without current transformers. Sealable terminal covers protect against tampering.

    Main functions

    • Direct measurement up to 100 A – no current transformers
    • Accuracy class 1 – sufficient for internal cost control
    • S0 output 1000 imp/kWh – data for a PLC or monitoring system
    • Backlit LCD – readable in the panel
    • LED indication – shows load intensity
    • Sealable terminal covers – tamper protection

    How does it differ from similar models?

    Ollo 3P-351 / ESTXM302 Also simple 100 A direct-connected models without communication – the choice comes down to brand and price.
    Orno OR-WE-520 80 A, but with MID and class B – when readings are used for billing.
    Eastron SDM630-MT 100 A, MID, RS485 Modbus, 4 tariffs – when remote reading and network parameters are needed.
    ELGAMA GAMA 300 100 A, 4 tariffs, billing-grade meter – when multi-tariff metering is required.

    Where is it used?

    • Internal metering of lines and machines in industry
    • Workshops and service centres
    • Energy tracking of three-phase heat pumps, boilers, compressors
    • Farm buildings and warehouses
    • Construction site boards
    • Monitoring of three-phase home supplies

    Use by need

    For energy managers.
    A clear view of what a single line or machine consumes.
    For electricians.
    Simple 3P+N wiring up to 100 A, nothing to configure.
    For automation engineers.
    S0 at 1000 imp/kWh straight into a PLC or data logger.

    Practical use

    If you want to know how much a three-phase compressor or heat pump uses each month, install the LEM-30 on its circuit in the panel and wire the S0 output to a PLC – consumption is visible without current transformers or the cost of MID.

    Pros

    • Direct connection up to 100 A
    • Accuracy class 1
    • S0 output 1000 imp/kWh
    • Backlit LCD
    • Sealable terminal covers
    • Wide operating range −25…+55 °C

    Cons / limitations

    • No MID – for billing choose the Orno OR-WE-520 or Eastron SDM630-MT
    • No RS485 / Modbus – for remote reading see the Eastron SDM630-MT
    • Single tariff
    • Manufacturer does not state export metering – for separate import/export metering see the Orno OR-WE-517

    Safety and installation notes

    • Installation and wiring must be done by a qualified electrician with the supply isolated
    • Size conductors (4–25 mm²) and protection for the load and the 100 A limit
    • Follow the input (1–4) and output (5–8) wiring diagram
    • Do not load the S0 output above 27 mA and 27 V DC
    • Fit the terminal covers and seal them if required

    Quick selection guide

    100 A direct

    S0 1000 imp/kWh
    No MID, 1 tariff
    Suitable when you need:
    • Internal consumption metering
    • Direct connection up to 100 A
    • A pulse signal for automation
    Check before use:
    • That MID is not required for billing
    • That the network is 3×230/400 V with N
    • That conductors fit the 4–25 mm² terminals
    Important reminder: The meter is not MID certified – its readings are not valid for official billing. It also does not replace circuit breakers, RCDs or surge protection.

    FAQ

    Is the LEM-30 MID certified?
    The manufacturer does not state MID, so the meter is intended for internal metering.
    What is the pulse constant?
    1000 imp/kWh.
    Are current transformers needed?
    No, it connects directly up to 100 A.
    Does it have Modbus?
    No, only an S0 pulse output.
    How many modules does it take?
    4 DIN rail modules.
    Does it measure energy exported to the grid?
    The manufacturer does not state export metering – choose a bidirectional model for that, e.g. the Orno OR-WE-517.
