Schneider Electric PowerLogic PM8000 series meter

Schneider Electric has released the PowerLogic PM8000 series power meter. In accordance with power quality standards IEC 61000-4-30 Class S and IEC 62586, it is suitable for helping to ensure contractual obligations for electrical supply quality.

The product has extensive power quality analysis capabilities, such as EN 50160 compliance, sag/swell detection, waveform capture, disturbance direction detection, trending and forecasting. If a power quality event occurs, the disturbance direction detection feature helps identify the location by determining if it occurred upstream or downstream of the meter, allowing the problem to be corrected faster.

Engineered on a compact, modular and flexible platform, the meter has the versatility to perform nearly any metering job at key points throughout a facility. It is compliant with ANSI C12.20 Class 0.2, IEC 62053-22 Class 0.2S (real energy) and IEC 61557-12.

The meter’s accuracy and extensive I/O options make it suitable for the unified metering of all WAGES (water, air, gas, electricity and steam) utilities. It is available in both panel-mount and DIN rail-mount form factors and has high-visibility colour displays.
