What is the Power Meter?
The power meter is a multifunction, digital instrumentation, data
acquisition and control device. It can replace a variety of meters,
relays, transducers and other components. The power meter can be
installed at multiple locations within a facility.
The power meter is equipped with RS485 communications for
integration into any power monitoring and control system. However,
System Managerâ„¢ software ( SMS) from PowerLogic, which is
written specifically for power monitoring and control, best supports
the power meter’ s advanced features.
The power meter is a true rms meter capable of exceptionally
accurate measurement of highly nonlinear loads. A sophisticated
sampling technique enables accurate, true rms measurement
through the 63rd harmonic. You can view over 50 metered values
plus minimum and maximum data from the display or remotely using
software. Table 1– 2 summarizes the readings available from the
power meter. |
