1 APPLICATION
NR30BAC meter is a digital programmable instrument designed to measure network
parameters of single-phase 2-wire and three-phase 3 and 4-wire balanced and unbalanced systems.
The measured values are displayed on a 20 x 4 LCD character display. The meter enables controlling
and optimizing the operation of power electronics devices, systems and industrial installations.
It provides measurement of: RMS voltage and current, active, reactive and apparent power, active,
reactive and apparent energy, power factors, frequency, harmonic currents and voltages / up to 51st /,
THD of current and voltage, average active and apparent power, P Demand, S Demand, averaged
current I Demand /15, 30 or 60 minutes/. Voltages and currents are multiplied by given voltage and
current ratios of measuring transformers / for indirect connections /. Indications of power and energy
take into consideration values of programmed ratios. The values of the measured quantities can be
transmitted to the host system through RS485 interface or Ethernet interface, relay outputs signal
overruns of the selected parameters.
The meter has a galvanic separation between the individual blocks of:
- power supply,
- voltage inputs,
- current inputs (for versions In 1 A/ 5A),
- RS485 Interface,
- Ethernet/ BACnet IP Interface:
- alarm outputs,
2 METER SET
Complete set of the Analyzer includes:
1. NR30BAC meter 1 pc.
2. User’s manual 1 pc.
3 BASIC REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONAL SAFETY
In terms of operational safety, the meter meets the requirements of DIN EN 61010-1.
Safety instructions:
The meter installation and connection should be made by qualified personnel. All available
protection requirements must be taken into consideration.
Before turning the meter on verify the connections.
Prior to removing the meter housing, always turn the supply off and disconnect the
measurement circuits.
Removal of the meter housing during the warranty period voids the warranty.
The meter meets the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility in industrial environment.
A switch or a circuit-breaker should be installed in the building or facility. It should be located
near the device, easily accessible to the operator, and suitably marked.

4 INSTALLATION
The meter is adapted for installation in a modular installation switchgears on a 35 mm support rail.
The housing of the meter is made of plastic.
Housing dimensions are 105 x 110 x 60 mm. Outside the meter there are screw terminal strips that allow
connection of external wires with a cross-section up to 5.3 mm2 / indirect measurements/ and up to 16
mm² /direct measurements.

5 DESCRIPTION
5.1 Current inputs
All current inputs are galvanically isolated (internal current transformers). The meter is adapted for direct
connections / up to 63 A/ or for use with external current transformers / 1 A or 5 A /. Displayed values of
currents and derivative quantities are automatically converted according to the introduced external
current transformer ratio.
5.2 Voltage inputs
Quantities at voltage inputs are automatically calculated by the amount of introduced ratio of the
external voltage transformer. Voltage inputs are defined in the order as 3x57.7/100 V up to 3x100/170 V
or 3x230/400 V up to 3x400/690 V.

6 COOPERATION WITH S4AO
For NR30BAC versions with the S4AO block of 4 analog outputs, side connector for connecting
blocks is included. The connector can also be ordered separately: order code 24-171-01-00016
Fig.7. Connecting blocks using the side connector
Fig.8. Connection of NR30BAC with S4AO using RS485 interface
The S4AO module communicates with the NR30BAC meter via the RS485 Modbus Master interface,
therefore cooperation with S4AO excludes the use the NR30BAC meter RS485 interface for
communication with another Master.

The values of measured parameters are presented on active pages selected by subsequent
pressing of the buttons (next page) or (previous page).
Page size is determined by any 3 quantities selected from Table 1 and displayed on the screen. Defining
pages is described under Displaying mode.
The information bar at the top of the screen shows the status of the alarm outputs, alarm conditions.
There is also an Ethernet connection symbol on the information bar, indicators of receiving and
transmitting data to the RS485 line. In the case of reverse phase sequence, the symbol "!” flashes.
When displaying the minimum, maximum or harmonic values, the corresponding information appears.
