monitor current, power etc. in each branch circuit
 A single BCM module can monitor up to 168 branch circuits
i:e 4 x 42 CTs can be connected to a single BCM through
wiring harness.
 A ‘main feed circuit management - MFCM’ module is used to
monitor current, power etc. at the main incomer
 A single display unit is used to display data from both BCM &
MFCM. It can also communicate serially to any BMS / DCEM
