Technical
Product Overview
The Sentron 3/6 bus plug is designed for light industrial,
commercial, and datacenter applications. Optional factory
installed receptacles range from 10 to 100A per pole, and
the bus plug allows for anywhere between 1 and 6 poles of
distribution (i.e. two 3Ø receptacles per plug). This product
combines plug-and-play capabilities, minimizing installation
time and cost, with the option for preconfigured embedded
branch circuit metering utilizing SEM3.
Product Application
Building your metered network of Sentron 3/6 bus plugs is
easy. There are two variations of metered bus plugs, simple
meter plugs (child) and controller plugs (parent). Each SEM3
controller can monitor 42 bus plug poles. Depending on the
number of metered poles per bus plug, one parent controller
plug can monitor between 6 to 41 bus plugs. An example of
a network of seven 6-pole bus plugs is shown below (in this
case there is one controller and six metered plugs). Outputs
from multiple controller plugs may be consolidated at an
Ethernet switch (shown below) or integrated directly into a
building or site management system.

Controller Bus Plug 3
The function of the Ethernet switch is to aggregate signals being
generated by each SEM3 controller. Each SEM3 controller bus plug may
monitor up to 42 poles. Metered bus plugs may have between 1 and 6
metered poles. SEM3 may also be embedded in other electrical
equipment such as switchboards or panels, providing a comprehensive
power monitoring solution.
