Benefits Fronius Smart TS 100A-1

A inverter without accountant you only know how much it produces. He does not know how much the house consumes or how much he is poured into the network. The Smart TS complete that information and converts photovoltaic installation into a system of intelligent energy management.

Pouring control faster and more precise

Thanks to his high precision measurement and at quick communication by Modbus RTU, the dynamic pouring limitation it is faster and more accurate than with an impulse meter S0. This is key in Spain, where many self-consumption facilities are configured with zero o with injection limits imposed by the distributor.

Essential for batteries and surplus management

In combination with storage solutions Fronius and their inverters hybrid, the Smart Meter coordinates energy flows: decide when to load the lithium batteries, when to download them and when to export. It is also a requirement for equipment such as surplus regulator Fronius Ohmpilot, which needs to know the actual surplus to derive it to thermos.

Total visibility in Fronius Solar.web

With Fronius Solar.web, the counter offers a clear view of electricity consumption, help detect optimization opportunities of the installation and allows monitor and analyze the great consumption of housing or business.

Compact direct connection format

Occupies only 2 dIN modules (35.8 mm wide) and connects directly until 100 A, without external intensity transformers. Supports cables up 25 mm², both in phase and neutral, which facilitates the assembly in the general picture of a single-phase housing.

What version of Smart Meter TS i need?

The range Fronius Smart TS it has three versions. Choosing well depends on the type of supply:

TS 100A-1: Single-phase homes

It is the model of this record. Is for supplies single-phase at 230 V with up to 100 a, in direct connection, and is the most common option in single-family homes with facilities solar panels single-phase.

TS 65A-3: housing and business three-phase

Is for supplies three-phase from 208 to 400 V with currents up 3 x 65 A in direct connection.

TS 5kA-3: commercial and industrial facilities

Is for supplies three-phase from 220 to 480 V former intensity transformers, up 3 x 5000 A.

Installation and start-up

Location in the box

The Smart Meter TS is installed in interior, on DIN rail, normally in the connection point with the network. There it measures both the consumption of housing and the exported energy, as indicated by the connection scheme of Fronius.

Communication with the inverter

It connects to inverter through a communication cable RS485 (Modbus RTU) of 0.05 to 1.5 mm² of section On inverters already installed, the Smart Meter can added at any time along with the Fronius Datamanager 2.0.

On Tienda Solar we advise you to choose the correct accountant according to your inverter and your type of supply. In the Blog Tienda Solar you will find guides on zero pouring, surplus management and monitoring, and technical articles developed by our experts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the use of Fronius Smart TS 100A-1?

Is a bidirectional accountant that measures the energy you consume of the network and the one you export. The inverter use those data for optimize self-consumption, , limit, manage batteries and show the consumption curve in Fronius Solar.web.

2. Is it compatible with the Fronius Gen24 plus?

Yes. Fronius indicates that the Smart Meter TS it is ideal for Gen24 Plus and Taurus and for all the inverters Fronius with Datamanager 2.0.

3. Does it serve for a three-phase housing?

No. The TS 100A-1 it is single-phase. For supplies three-phase, the proper version is the TS 65A-3 in direct connection up to 65 a per phase, or TS 5ka-3 with intensity transformers for older currents.

4. Do I need the smart to make zero pouring?

So that the inverter can dynamically limit the injection to the network, you need to know the actual flow at the connection point, and that data provides the Smart Meter. With their communication Modbus RTU, the regulation is faster and more accurate than with s0 counters.

5. Can I install it in an existing installation?

Yes. The Smart Meter can rear along with the Fronius Datamanager 2.0 on inverters already installed. If you are expanding your system, also review our Inverters Networking and solar kits.

6. Can it be installed abroad?

Not directly. The counter is designed for interior assembly in DIN rail, with protection IP51 on the front and IP20 on terminals. You must go inside an electrical panel.
