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 20 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.

Alerts, and App languages. Notifications are pushed to the App rather than being checked for manually each day, and the App is available in German, French, Spanish and Italian as well as English.

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 instrument.
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.
Which CT ratings can the three channels use?
Single-phase ratings run from 20 A to 300 A per channel. The 20 A and 50 A clamps are supported but not held in stock. The 120 A clamp (Ø16 mm) is the default.
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.
Can the three circuits be read, exported and automated separately?
Yes. Each circuit has its own current channel, so consumption is reported per circuit rather than as one combined total, and the export covers each sub-circuit as well as the combined reading.
Do I have to open the App every day to notice a problem?
No. Alerts are pushed to the App. The App is available in German, French, Spanish and Italian as well as English.
Does it need a gateway?
No. It connects over Wi-Fi by itself; a gateway is only needed for ZigBee devices.
