Milesight CTH01 Smart Power Monitor Hub with 12 current channels, 3 voltage channels and LoRaWAN connectivity. Monitor electrical energy, power quality and harmonic distortion in commercial and industrial installations.
The Milesight CTH01 is a LoRaWAN smart power monitoring hub designed for multi-circuit electrical energy measurement and power quality analysis. With 12 current measurement channels and 3 voltage measurement channels, it enables simultaneous monitoring of single-phase and three-phase electrical circuits in commercial buildings, industrial facilities and data centers.
The CTH01 measures electrical parameters including voltage, current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, energy consumption, power factor and total harmonic distortion (THD). Its LoRaWAN connectivity supports integration into remote energy management systems, while Bluetooth configuration and flexible current transformer options simplify deployment across different electrical installations.
What is the CTH01 used for?
The CTH01 Smart Power Monitor Hub is designed to collect and analyze electrical measurements from multiple circuits within a power distribution system. It provides the data required to monitor energy consumption, evaluate power quality and assess the operating conditions of electrical equipment.
Its 12 current channels can be independently configured for single-phase circuits, grouped into four three-phase circuits, or used in mixed configurations. This flexibility makes the CTH01 suitable for monitoring electrical distribution systems with different circuit arrangements.
