The GM260 is a high-performance power monitoring solution engineered for precision analysis of three-phase electrical networks. It enables simultaneous monitoring of two independent three-phase current branches while sharing a common voltage reference. Seamlessly integrated within the Bachmann M1 controller environment, it delivers real-time data for energy management and power quality diagnostics.
This module excels in complex power environments by calculating True RMS values and harmonic distortions up to the 40th order. Each unit includes two integrated 4-quadrant energy meters, making it ideal for bidirectional energy flow tracking and reactive power compensation.

The GM260 is widely used in:
Wind turbine control systems
Decentralized energy resources (DERs)
Industrial microgrids
Its dual-branch capability allows engineers to monitor both generator output and auxiliary power consumption within a single module, reducing DIN-rail footprint and wiring complexity.
Q1: Does the module require external current transformers?
A: Yes, it is designed for 1A secondary output CTs to safely measure high currents.
Q2: Can it monitor two different voltage systems?
A: No, the two current branches share a common voltage reference; it is ideal for monitoring circuits within the same power segment.
Q3: Is energy data lost during a power cycle?
A: No, the 4-quadrant energy values are processed and stored in the M1 controller's non-volatile memory.
