The Shelly 3EM-63T Gen3 is an advanced three-phase energy metering device, specifically designed to accurately monitor electrical energy consumption across three separate phases or three independent single-phase circuits. Thanks to its compact design, it can be mounted directly in the electrical panel, either above or below the circuit breaker, without occupying a separate module slot. It is an ideal choice for both residential and industrial applications.
The device provides real-time data on voltage, current, power, and power factor, allowing users to optimize their energy usage and reduce costs. With built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, it can be used with the Shelly cloud smart system, and is also easily integrable with other smart home platforms, supporting both fully local and cloud-based control.
The Shelly 3EM-63T Gen3 also supports photovoltaic system monitoring, making it an ideal solution for users who wish to track and optimize their solar energy production. The device performs 4-quadrant metering, ensuring precise measurement of both consumption and generation across all three phases.
Two Similar Models: Shelly 3EM-63T Gen3 and Shelly 3EM-63W Gen3
Both models offer the same technical specifications, including monitoring of three-phase or three single-phase circuits, real-time voltage, current, power, and energy consumption readings, along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The choice between the two primarily depends on the installation environment and connection method:
- Shelly 3EM-63T Gen3: This model features flat terminals that allow direct phase connection to the breaker, with only the neutral needing to be wired. This design is ideal when connecting directly to the breaker, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity.
- Shelly 3EM-63W Gen3: This model includes wired connections, offering greater flexibility—especially when direct connection to the breaker isn't feasible. It allows more distant placement from the breaker, which can be useful in certain installation scenarios.
About the Shelly Brand
Shelly is a European brand (formerly Allterco Robotics) known worldwide for its high-quality smart home solutions. Shelly products are easily integrated into various home automation systems and are popular among both technology enthusiasts and professional users due to their reliability and open protocols.
Local or Cloud-Based Data Storage
The Shelly 3EM-63T Gen3 includes built-in memory, enabling local storage of energy consumption data directly on the device. You can access the data through the built-in web interface, allowing monitoring even without internet access. This is especially useful in environments with limited or no internet connectivity. Of course, if desired, the device can upload data to the Shelly Cloud, enabling long-term storage, remote access, and integration with other smart home systems.
