Review on DAE P153 200 S KIT Submeter Neutral by Mufti Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great submeter for my renters

I just received this and will be installing it in a house I have bought and will be renting out to renters. The electrician working on it says I need three built in fuse holders that you can put a fuse in and with black wires on each end to connect the phase wires to the panel. It is well suited for cloud measurement or wireless remote reading. The kWh value is shown on the LED display. Even if the current transformers are installed far away from the meter, the accuracy of the kWh display is not affected. No conversion factor or multiplier required. I'm glad the DAE electric sub-meter has a five-year warranty. It is California CTEP approved and certified by an independent testing laboratory to exceed national ANSI C12.1 accuracy standards. It has the exact specs and recommendations I got from my electrician. When it is fully functional I plan to upgrade to the CT split core option (CT-200SB) and this building is not a new build project. I believe this will help me to control and monitor my tenants' electricity consumption. My electrician told me that the DAE P204-200-S kit is suitable for a 120/240 1-phase meter and the DAE P103-200-S kit is also suitable for a 120/240 1-phase meter . However, I've decided to stick with that option and see how it goes.

Pros
  • DAE cloud measurement (2nd pic) available with DAE gateway CC2030. The CC2030 collects energy consumption data from DAE electricity meters and sends it to the cloud server via Ethernet. From a PC, mobile phone or tablet, landlords or property managers can access real-time data, monthly allotments and billing reports for their tenants. Billing reports for TOU (Time of Use) are also available. IT specialist is not required. Just connect the wires as shown in the simple image (see video) and you're good to go.
Cons
  • I will add later
