Efficient energy monitoring with Victron Energy – Save money and optimize your energy usage

How to get full control over energy consumption with VM-3P75CT, Cerbo GX, and the VRM portal.

Monitoring energy consumption in a house, a property, or for a specific load is crucial for identifying energy-intensive areas, reducing unnecessary costs, and contributing to a more sustainable future. By having insight into energy consumption, you can optimize usage, reduce strain on the power grid, and make informed decisions that both save money and reduce climate impact.

Energy monitoring also helps detect imbalances between phases, which can cause inefficient operation, and identify unnecessarily high main fuses from the grid provider to reduce fixed subscription costs. The result is improved electrical efficiency and stability in the system.

The Challenge – and the Solution

A common challenge is finding a cost-effective solution for energy monitoring that collects data over time, presents it in a user-friendly format, and can be expanded with additional functionality as needed. With Victron Energy VM-3P75CT, together with Cerbo GX and the VRM portal, you get a complete solution that not only meets these requirements but also lays the foundation for developing an ESS solution.

VM-3P75CT – Three-phase energy meter

Victron's VM-3P75CT is an advanced three-phase energy meter with Ethernet and VE.Can communication, ideal for ESS and other systems. Easy installation with clamp transformers and fast data monitoring via VictronConnect and the VRM portal. It measures voltage, current, and energy with high precision and has an LED pulse output for visual diagnostics.

Communication with Cerbo GX

Communication between the energy meter and Cerbo GX occurs via VE.Can or network. For network communication, the energy meter is connected to the same LAN as the Cerbo GX, providing flexibility and easier installation even over longer distances.

Monitoring in the VRM portal

Victron's VRM portal provides full access to the system's settings and data. The portal is free and enables remote control, diagnostics, and detailed analyses. You can customize the presentation of your data for easy troubleshooting and optimization.

What is needed to get started?

To start, only Victron Energy VM-3P75CT and a Cerbo GX are required. Installation is smooth but should always be performed by a qualified electrician for safe operation.
