Schneider Electric PowerLogic PM5350 power meter

Schneider Electric has added the PowerLogic PM5350 power meter to its line-up of entry-level meters. The product is suitable for demanding applications, where accuracy is paramount.

With a simple setup, the product displays meter data in a number of languages. Readings in English are not truncated and, therefore, easy to understand.

The meter does the work of several devices. Its two high-performance relay outputs eliminate the need for an additional relay switch to command circuit breakers and, due to its four wetted digital inputs, it does not need an external power supply. A compact design of 44 mm makes it suitable for areas of limited space, such as panel instrumentation.

Installation is fast and easy with only two mounting clips and one push of a button will start installation from scratch. Flexible parameter resets allow users to choose between a global reset and a single parameter reset.

Suitable for applications where increased product functionality is required, the product offers an extensive measurement package. Measurements include: total harmonic distortion, volts, current, neutral current, power (real, apparent and reactive), power factor, frequency, demand, active and reactive energy, per cent voltage unbalance and per cent current unbalance. Its accuracy and extensive measurements help users reliably participate in load shedding activities, sub-billing and cost allocation efforts, remote monitoring of electrical installations and circuit breaker monitoring and control.

A robust, secure design means users can have increased confidence that measurements will be accurate, even in demanding environments. Its single PCB design improves the meter’s longevity and sealable wiring covers protect wiring connections and personnel from live connections. A revenue seal secures meter settings and helps guard against tampering.
