It connects to Victron GX devices and reports real-time energy data across all three phases, rated up to 65A per phase. It suits professional installers working on three-phase residential, commercial and off-grid installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVictron energy meter key features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent rating\u003c\/strong\u003e, three-phase AC monitoring up to 65A per phase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGX compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e, works with Cerbo GX, Venus GX, Color Control GX and other Victron GX devices via RS485.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible role\u003c\/strong\u003e, can be set up as a grid meter, PV inverter meter or generator meter within the Victron ecosystem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBidirectional measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e, tracks both import and export energy flows accurately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting\u003c\/strong\u003e, DIN rail mountable for standard panel installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e, 0.278 kg, compact enough for distribution boards and metering enclosures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EM540 measures voltage, current, power factor, frequency and energy (kWh) independently on each of the three phases. Connected to a GX device, this data shows up in the Victron console and logs to the VRM portal, giving a clear view of energy flows across the installation. The 65A per phase rating covers most three-phase residential and light commercial loads without needing external current transformers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommunication runs over RS485 using Modbus RTU, connecting to the GX device via VE.Can or a USB-to-RS485 interface depending on the device. Correct addressing and wiring of the RS485 bus matters where several meters share the same network. The EM540 replaces the older EM24 in most new installations and is the current recommended meter for three-phase monitoring on Victron GX products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed as a grid meter, the EM540 enables ESS functionality on compatible Victron Multi and Quattro inverter\/chargers, letting the system optimise battery charge and discharge against grid import and export.

RS485 wiring to the GX device must be correctly terminated and addressed where multiple meters share a bus. For grid-connected ESS systems in the UK, the installation must comply with G98 or G99 as applicable. Do not exceed the 65A per phase rating; higher load currents need external current transformers and a compatible meter variant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52060523233568,"sku":"REL200100100","price":89.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-rel200100100-1.webp?v=1785492180","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/three-phase-energy-meter-em540","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
