- Delta models, WNB-3D-400-P, work either with or without a neutral connection, but require a line-to-line voltage connection for operating power.
The WattNode Plus is a kilowatt hour kWh energy meter that communicates on a LonWorks network and measures 1, 2, or 3 phases with voltages from 120 to 600 Vac and 5 to 6,000 amps in delta (phase to phase) and wye (phase to neutral) configurations. For built-in data logging, see the WattNode Logger for LonWorks.

Features
- Supports LonWorks TP/FT-10 free topology twisted-pair network using Echelon's® LonTalk® (ANSI/CEA-709.1-B-2002) network protocol.
- LonMark 3.4 Certified
- Small form factor for easy installation inside most electrical panels, see a sample installation diagram.
- Pluggable screw terminals for easy wiring
- 0.5% nominal accuracy (see manual for details)
- True RMS power even with leading or lagging power factor and chopped or distorted waveforms
- Monitors variable speed drives, pumps, and motors
- Safe CT's (current transformers), producing 0.333 Vac at rated current.
- Split core CTs for quick installation
- Solid core CTs are less expensive and prevent tampering

- Five year warranty
Safety Note
Warning: Hazardous Voltages - Only qualified personnel or licensed electricians should install the WattNode meter and current transformers.
Data Logging
If you need data logging, see WattNode Logger for LonWorks
Option CT
- Option CT=xxx - Pre-assign xxx as the nciCtAmps value.
- This can be field configured or overridden using the nciCtAmps network variable.
Option PT improves support for potential transformers (PTs), making it easier to use WattNode for LonWorks meters with medium voltage services. Specifically, Option PT adds a configuration property UCPTptRatio which configures the ratio of the external PT, allowing the meter to automatically scale the voltage, power, and energy readings.
