Modular three-phase energy meter | 100 A | 3×230/400 V | pulse output | MID | DIN | Eastron SDM72D-MID
The Eastron SDM72D-MID is a 4-module DIN meter for 3×230/400 V four-wire networks, connected directly up to 100 A. It counts consumed active energy and sends pulses to an external system.
Key point:
It is a straightforward choice when you need accurate kWh metering without complex setup. MID B+D approval confirms the measuring accuracy, and the pulse output lets readings feed an existing automation system without Modbus.Current

MID B+D→Bidirectional metering
No. The SDM72D-MID counts total active energy and does not separate import and export. If consumed and exported energy must be seen separately, choose the Eastron SDM72D-M-MID.Communication interfaces and integration
Pulse output
1000 imp/kWh – consumed energy can be passed to a data logger, PLC counter input, BMS or a smart-home controller with a pulse input.Operating principle
Mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail and connected directly into a three-phase four-wire circuit up to 100 A – no current transformers.
The meter measures active energy on all three phases and accumulates a total kWh value.
The reading is shown on the backlit LCD, and every kWh is sent as 1000 pulses via the pulse output.
Why choose the Eastron SDM72D-MID?
It is meant for places that need an approved-accuracy kWh meter but no communication protocol. Fewer functions mean simpler installation, a lower price and fewer configuration errors.Technical specifications

How does it differ from similar models?
Eastron SDM72D-M-MID Same platform but with RS485 Modbus RTU, live values and separate import/export metering – choose it if you need separate import/export metering or remote reading. Eastron SDM630-MT Multifunction 100 A meter with Modbus, MID and 4 tariffs; the SDM72D-MID is simpler and cheaper when only kWh metering is needed. Ollo 3P-351 Also a modular 100 A meter without communication; the SDM72D-MID adds MID B+D and a 1000 imp/kWh pulse output. Where is it used?
- Sub-metering of rented units and apartments
- Consumption metering of industrial equipment and lines
- Heat pumps and boiler rooms
- EV charging points without network connection
- Agricultural buildings and warehouses
- Upgrading existing pulse-based metering systems
- Construction site distribution boards
Use by requirement
For installers.
Simple wiring with no configuration and no current transformers.For property managers.
MID-approved readings for splitting costs.For automation engineers.
A standard 1000 imp/kWh signal to a PLC counter input.Practical use
If a factory needs to meter the compressor room separately and the PLC already has a free pulse input, install an SDM72D-MID in the compressor room panel – the PLC then counts kWh from the pulses while an MID-approved reading is always visible on site.Pros
- MID B+D approval
- Direct connection up to 100 A
- Pulse output 1000 imp/kWh
- Simple – no configuration needed
- Backlit LCD
- Low self-consumption – ≤ 2 W / 10 VA per phase
Cons / limitations
- No RS485 / Modbus – for remote reading choose the SDM72D-M-MID.
- Does not separate import and export – energy exported to the grid is not measured separately.
- Single tariff only – for multi-tariff metering choose the SDM630-MT.
- Three-phase four-wire only and up to 100 A – higher currents require a CT meter.
Safety and installation notes
- Installation only by a qualified electrician with the power disconnected.
- Fit upstream protection sized for the cable cross-section.
- Follow the terminal markings – swapped phases or neutral give wrong readings.
- Connect the pulse output according to the manufacturer's diagram and only to a suitable input.
- The IP51 housing is for indoor use – outdoors install in a sealed enclosure.
Quick selection guide
100 A direct3×230/400 V1000 imp/kWhMID B+DSuitable when you need:- MID-approved kWh metering
- A pulse signal to a PLC or logger
- A simple solution without Modbus
Check before use:- That the load does not exceed 100 A
- That the network is three-phase four-wire (3P4W)
- That import/export separation is not needed
Important reminder: The meter only measures energy – it does not protect the circuit and does not replace an MCB or voltage protection.FAQ
Does the SDM72D-MID have MID?
Yes, the manufacturer states MID B+D under 2014/32/EU.Does it have Modbus?
No, only a pulse output – Modbus is on the SDM72D-M-MID.Does it measure energy exported to the grid?
It does not measure export separately – choose the SDM72D-M-MID for that.What is the pulse constant?
1000 imp/kWh.Are current transformers needed?
No, it connects directly up to 100 A.How much panel space does it take?
