The only difference is the display: the \u003cstrong\u003eSDM120DB has a white backlight\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the SDM120D has a plain LCD with no illumination.

Its MID B+D certification satisfies the metering accuracy requirements applicable to public and workplace charge points, and its 1000 imp\/kWh pulse output can interface with charge point management systems. For a 7.2 kW single-phase charger the 45 A current rating is sufficient (32 A circuit).
