PC4711-W-TY/3CT multi-channel single-phase meter with three open-type CT clamps for three separate circuits

PC4711-W-TY/3CT

Single-Phase Multi-Channel Smart Energy Meter

Three single-phase circuits in one Tuya meter: three CTs measured independently, no Ethernet, and a lower host cost than a three-phase meter.

Overview

PC4711-W-TY/3CT is the multi-channel member of the single-phase range. It takes three open-type CT clamps where the other models take two, and reads each circuit independently, so three separate single-phase loads or tenants come from one 19 mm module instead of three.

The distinction that matters: this is three single-phase circuits, not a three-phase meter. There are no phases to configure and no phase-to-phase voltage to measure - which is why it is the cheaper route for three single-phase circuits, and why a three-phase service still needs a PC4713. Platform otherwise unchanged: 90-277 V input, CTs 80 A to 300 A, bidirectional metering, 15-second Tuya reporting.

PC4711-W-TY/3CT Platform and Integration Notes

Where the cost saving comes from. Three single-phase circuits metered by one module costs less than a three-phase instrument, because there is no phase-to-phase voltage measurement and no phase configuration to carry.

Offline storage, so a dropout is not a gap in the record. Readings are held locally and re-reported automatically once the network returns.

CT setting, data erase and remote reboot from the App. A channel can be re-ranged or the record cleared without a site visit.

Tuya App, and Home Assistant. All three circuits are read in the Tuya App, and all three are also available in Home Assistant.

PC4711-W-TY/3CT Limits and What to Specify Instead

  • Three-phase measurement — this is three single-phase channels, not a three-phase meter. A three-phase four-wire, split-phase or 3P3W service needs the PC4713 range, and a 3P3W or delta supply specifically needs the PC4713-W-E-TY/3W.
  • Relay output — not fitted. Load switching is on the PC4711-W-TY/R and PC4711-W-E-TY/R.
  • Ethernet — not available on the three-CT model; the two-CT PC4711-W-E-TY offers the wired port.
  • Your own server as the destination — PC4711-W or PC4711-W-485 from the Open API range.

Key Benefits

Three Circuits in One Module

Three open-type CT channels read three single-phase circuits separately instead of one combined total.

Three Single-Phase Lines, Not a Three-Phase Meter

It does not measure phase-to-phase voltage: there are no phases to configure, which is what makes it cheaper for a three-circuit job.

CTs 80 A to 300 A, Clipped On

No circuit is cut, and the three circuits can mix load and generation because measurement is bidirectional.

Data Export With Day-to-Year History

Export from the App with history by day, week, month and year for all three circuits.

Ideal For

Common deployment scenarios where Single-Phase Multi-Channel Smart Energy Meter delivers the most value.

Three Single-Phase Circuits, One Meter

Three tenants, three loads or three distribution ways metered separately without three devices.

Per-Load Analytics

Separate traces for generation, HVAC and general load instead of one combined figure.

Buildings Without Three-Phase Supply

Where the requirement is three single-phase circuits rather than one three-phase service.

Cost-Sensitive Multi-Circuit Jobs

A three-phase meter would be over-specified and more expensive for the same three circuits.

Mixed Load and Generation

Bidirectional measurement means a generation circuit can sit alongside load circuits.

Distributor and OEM Programmes

Neutral standard units, with branding and packaging available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the PC4711-W-TY/3CT measure a three-phase system?
No. It meters three separate single-phase circuits, not the three phases of one three-phase supply. For a three-phase service choose a PC4713 model.
Why choose this instead of a three-phase meter?
When the job is three single-phase circuits rather than one three-phase supply, there are no phases to configure and the host unit costs less than a three-phase meter.
How many circuits can the other PC4711 models measure?
Up to two. This version adds a third CT channel, so a third circuit is metered without installing a second device.
What CT options are available?
Three open-type clamps from 80 A to 300 A, with inner diameters of 10, 16, 20 or 24 mm. They clip on, so no circuit is cut.
Does it have an Ethernet port or a relay?
Neither. It is the multi-channel metering model: three CT inputs, Wi-Fi with BLE pairing, and Tuya App reporting.
