The Victron Energy Meter ET340 is a three-phase energy meter with an RS485 interface, rated for up to 65A. Energy meters of this kind measure power and energy at the distribution box, and can also meter a PV inverter's output or AC loads. The readings can be shown on a GX device, for example the Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX.

Our take

Rated for three-phase up to 65A, the ET340 reads power and energy at a distribution box, and the data can show on a GX device such as the Cerbo GX. The 65A ceiling is the figure to check against your feed.

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.
