FAQ

What is the main difference between ADL400N-MID and ADL400N-CT?

The main difference lies in certification and target market.

ADL400N-MID: MID B+D certified, compliant with EU Directive 2014/32/EU and EN 50470-3, suitable for European market and applications requiring legal metering certification.

ADL400N-CT: Standard version, suitable for markets and applications without MID requirements.

Selection Guide: Choose ADL400N-MID for trade settlement, tenant billing, or other legal metering applications in Europe; choose ADL400N-CT for other scenarios.

What is the practical value of MID certification for users?

MID certification is a mandatory requirement for measuring instruments in the European market, offering the following value:

Legal Compliance: MID-certified meters are mandatory for trade settlement, tenant billing, feed-in energy metering, and similar applications in Europe.

Metering Credibility: Certification ensures accuracy and long-term stability, providing fair and reliable measurement for both parties.

Market Access: MID certification is the passport to the European market.

Quality Assurance: The certification process includes rigorous type testing and factory inspection, ensuring higher product quality.

What CT specifications are available? How to choose?

ADL400N-MID supports two CT specifications:

  • 0.5-10(80)A: For circuits with max current up to 80A
  • 0.5-10(120)A: For circuits with max current up to 120A

The CTs feature split-core design for easy installation without disconnecting primary cables, ideal for retrofit projects. Choose based on actual load current.

Summary

ADL400N-MID offers MID B+D certification, 50ms fast response, and 3-phase external CTs for EU markets. It ensures legal metering compliance and accurate monitoring for commercial solar systems.
