POWER MEASUREMENT 3720 ACM – Advanced Power Quality Monitoring | ION Series Platform
Engineering Background
The POWER MEASUREMENT 3720 ACM is a high-accuracy, multi-function power quality analyzer developed under Schneider Electric’s ION Series platform. Designed for mission-critical industrial and commercial power monitoring applications, the 3720 ACM delivers true RMS measurements, harmonic analysis, and real-time energy data acquisition across three-phase electrical systems. It is widely deployed in substations, data centers, manufacturing facilities, and utility metering infrastructure where power quality visibility is non-negotiable.
Product Positioning
The 3720 ACM occupies the mid-to-high tier of the ION Series lineup, bridging the gap between basic revenue-grade meters and full-featured power quality recorders. It is the preferred choice for procurement engineers who require IEC 61000-4-30 Class A-equivalent measurement fidelity, Modbus RTU/TCP communications, and seamless integration with SCADA and EMS platforms — all within a compact DIN-rail or panel-mount form factor.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 3720 ACM employs a three-phase, four-wire measurement topology. Voltage inputs are connected directly (or via VTs) to the meter’s voltage terminals, while current inputs are fed from external CTs into the 1 A or 5 A current input terminals. The onboard DSP samples all six input channels simultaneously at high frequency, computing true RMS values, active/reactive/apparent power, power factor, frequency, and harmonic spectra in real time. Processed data is stored in internal non-volatile memory and made available via the RS-485 Modbus RTU port or optional Ethernet module. The ION programming framework allows the meter to execute conditional logic — for example, triggering a relay output when demand exceeds a setpoint — without requiring an external controller.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 3720 ACM the same as the ION 7300 series?
A: The 3720 ACM predates the ION 7300 branding but shares the same ION technology core. It is functionally equivalent for most Modbus-based SCADA integrations.
Q: Can the 3720 ACM measure 4-wire (3P+N) systems?
A: Yes. It supports 3-phase 4-wire wye, 3-phase 3-wire delta, and single-phase configurations via front-panel setup.
Q: What Modbus register map applies?
A: The standard Power Measurement ION Modbus map applies. Register documentation is available from Schneider Electric’s technical library and will be provided with your order.
Q: Is a configuration software required for commissioning?
A: Basic commissioning (CT/VT ratios, communication address) can be performed via the front-panel keypad. Advanced ION programming requires ION Setup software (free download from Schneider Electric).
Q: Do you offer calibration certificates?
A: Factory calibration certificates are available for new-in-box units. Third-party NIST-traceable calibration can be arranged upon request.
