The R718N1 (R718N13) NETVOX wireless single-phase current detector is used to detect single-phase electrical input current. The device is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol, and integrates a chip module that conforms to the LoRaWAN wireless protocol, and joins the gateway to display the collected data in the gateway.

The device is powered by batteries and receives the load AC current through a current transformer.

Example Applications

Smart current detection equipment in the city such as home or business
Thermal system equipment
