The Shark 100 is a panel meter that measures voltage, current, active, reactive and apparent power, energy, power factor, frequency and maximum demand. Sampling runs at over 400 samples per cycle with a 24-bit converter, which places the readings in ANSI C12.20 class 0.2 and IEC 62053-22 class 0.2S.
Advantages
Accuracy first
ANSI C12.20 class 0.2 and IEC 62053-22 class 0.2S accuracy, with a bright red LED display, auto-scroll mode and a percentage of load bar.
High isolation voltage inputs
Universal input up to 416 V line to neutral and 721 V line to line, programmable to any PT ratio; one unit works on 69, 120, 230, 277 and 347 V systems.
Short-circuit safe current inputs
The CT lead can pass through the meter with no termination, or terminate on rugged pass-through bars without risk of opening the circuit under fault.
Easy to install and use
Faceplate programming or set-up from a PC, a phasor diagram on the display, and colour-coordinated terminals.
Applications
- Utility, commercial, industrial and campus metering, and submetering.
- Substations and power generation plants.
- Direct replacement of analogue panel meters, reusing the existing CT and PT wiring.
About the product
The meter fits an ANSI C39.1 4-inch round cut-out or a 92 mm DIN square cut-out, with a 12.32 x 12.32 cm faceplate and a depth of 9.04 cm. A transducer version, the Shark 100T, is also available without a display, mounted on DIN rail, with the RS485 port fitted as standard. Communication includes standard IrDA and, as an option, RS485 with Modbus and DNP3 or 10/100BaseT Ethernet with Modbus TCP/IP. It is powered by (90-265) V AC or (100-370) V DC, or by (18-60) V DC, with all inputs and outputs galvanically isolated to 2500 V.

Frequently asked questions
What accuracy class does the Shark 100 hold?
Class 0.2 under ANSI C12.20 and class 0.2S under IEC 62053-22, with sampling of over 400 samples per cycle and a 24-bit converter.
What is the difference between the V-Switch keys?
V1 measures voltage and current; V2 adds power and frequency; V3 adds energy counters and DNP3; V4 adds THD and alarms.
How does the meter avoid becoming a CT failure point?
The CT lead can pass through the meter with no termination, or terminate on pass-through bars that do not open the circuit under fault.
What communication options are supported?
Standard IrDA, plus optional RS485 with Modbus and DNP3 or 10/100BaseT Ethernet with Modbus TCP/IP.
