===== 1. Selection guide ===== | ===== 1. Selection guide ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === First decide if you need single- or three phase meters === | ||
+ | |||
+ | For a three phase utility connection, use a three phase meter. For a three phase PV Inverter, use a three phase meter as well. For a single phase utility connection, use a single phase meter. And in an installation with a single phase utility connection, that also has a PV Inverter that needs measuring with a Victron meter, then you can use Rutger 2 pieces of ET112; or use the ET340. | ||
