Power and energy meter

Survey data suggests that power quality related financial losses add up to more than €150bn annually across the EU. To combat this energy waste, the PM8000 series has been manufactured on the company’s patented ION technology platform, providing a compact, cost-effective solution for your energy infrastructure.

Native support for StruxureWare Power Monitoring Expert and PowerSCADA Expert software applications lets users realise the full potential of the PowerLogic PM8000 series through enhanced reporting and data visualisation tools. The PM8000 is suitable for low to high voltage applications and particularly in industrial and critical power facilities.

Key features of the PM8000 include:

•  ION technology – building block approach for extensive customisation to address advanced monitoring and control applications

•  Disturbance direction detection – enabled by default to determine the location of a power system disturbance, which would appear on the meter’s event log

•  Setpoint Learning - Detect disturbances or values that are outside of a defined acceptable range.

•  Revenue grade metering with power quality features. Schneider Electric says the high level of accuracy, plus PQ functionality, makes this meter suitable as the main meter for smaller power monitoring systems, and widely used for critical circuits in larger systems.
