The Victron Energy Meter EM540 is a three-phase energy meter that talks over RS485 and handles up to 65 A per phase. It belongs to a family of meters Victron sells for monitoring power and energy. Meters of this family measure power and energy for a whole installation at the distribution box. Readings can go to a Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX display.
Our take
The EM540 connects over RS485 and is rated for three-phase loads up to 65 A per phase. On a boat that means it sits at a three-phase distribution box and reports power and energy to a GX device.
From our buying guide
On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.
Check before you buy:
- 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
- On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
