In late 2025, North American industrial landscapes are witnessing a surge in high-current applications—from AI-driven data centers to newly launched clean hydrogen hubs. Fueled by the December 2025 FERC ruling mandating transparent metering rules for large industrial loads connected to the PJM grid (serving 67 million Americans across 13 states and D.C.), and the U.S. government’s proposal to raise North American content requirements for non-automotive products to 65%-75%, demand for high-current metering solutions in steel, chemicals, and renewable energy sectors is skyrocketing. According to Persistence Market Research, the North American industrial wiring devices market reached $19.8 billion in 2025, with industrial metering equipment now required to meet triple standards: ETL certification, full data traceability, and local compliance—creating unprecedented market entry barriers.

North American Industrial Metering: Three New Critical Challenges
With a flurry of year-end policies, traditional metering solutions are struggling to adapt, putting enterprises under immense compliance and operational pressure:
Adding to these challenges, the U.S. Department of Energy’s recent Heartland and Mid-Atlantic Hydrogen Hub projects demand bidirectional metering capabilities. Traditional one-way meters can no longer meet the full-cycle measurement needs of "green hydrogen production + surplus grid feed-in," creating an urgent need for turnkey compliant solutions.

Eastron SDM630MCT-RC: Your High-Current Metering Solution
Engineered to address North America’s latest policy and application demands, Eastron Electronics launches the SDM630MCT-RC three-phase smart meter—equipped with "high range + high compliance + high adaptability" to excel in demanding industrial environments:
Pair with Rogowski Coil: 5000A Measurement, No Extra Integrator
Custom-designed for North American industrial scenarios, the SDM630MCT-RC supports both CT-operated and PT-operated power supply modes, adapting to 1P2W/3P3W/3P4W wiring configurations for data centers, hydrogen electrolyzers, and other load types. When paired with Rogowski coils, it achieves a maximum measurement current of 5000A without additional integrators, eliminating magnetic saturation issues. Its slim, lightweight design fits dense busbar environments in aging North American factories, enabling installation without power outages—reducing retrofit time from 8 hours to 30 minutes and cutting downtime and labor costs significantly.
ETL Certified + Bidirectional Metering: Compliance Guaranteed
The SDM630MCT-RC holds official ETL certification, ensuring seamless market access across the U.S. and Canada. With Class 0.5 accuracy, it maintains stable performance in extreme industrial environments ranging from -40°C to 70°C. Its bidirectional metering function accurately captures full-cycle charging and discharging data, making it ideal for hydrogen hubs and distributed solar PV systems. Equipped with two pulse output channels, it enables real-time data verification and equipment interlocking, providing dual guarantees for energy auditing and cost accounting.
RS485 Modbus RTU: Stable, Interference-Resistant Communication
Featuring the industry-standard RS485 Modbus RTU protocol, the meter boasts exceptional anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI) capabilities. Even in harsh environments with strong electromagnetic fields—such as metal smelting workshops and chemical electrolysis plants—it ensures stable data transmission over distances up to 1200 meters, covering large industrial park layouts. It seamlessly integrates with Enterprise Energy Management Systems (EMS) commonly used in North America, enabling remote data collection, real-time monitoring, and historical tracing—replacing manual meter reading and laying a solid foundation for digital and intelligent industrial energy management in the region.

In the High-Current Era, Choose the Right Meter for Peace of Mind
As North American industry enters a phase driven by "policy compliance + scenario upgrading," the SDM630MCT-RC is more than a metering device—it’s a compliance tool for navigating North American regulatory requirements, and a core solution for reducing retrofit/tariff costs and adapting to emerging applications. Whether retrofitting U.S. domestic factories or supplying equipment for North American exports, it delivers reliable, compliant metering performance.
