November 6, 2013 — E-Mon announces the PowerSmart family of power quality / energy monitors and revenue-grade power quality socket meters for commercial, industrial and institutional energy monitoring applications. This offers users granularity of energy measurement data combined with advanced power quality analysis via PowerSoftware. The PowerSmart family comes in a variety of configurations that allow users to specify the functionality best suited to their application needs. The three models in the PowerSmart family include:
- PowerSmart Plus Essential Meter—Class 0.5S (± 0.5% accuracy) four-quadrant active and reactive energy polyphase static meter providing high-precision three-phase monitoring of V, I, PF, demand, V/I unbalance, frequency, load profile and more; offers panel-mount configuration for 4” round or 96x96” DIN opening; Graphical display provides real-time sine wave presentation, phasor diagrams and harmonics graphing.
- PowerSmart Plus Advanced Power Quality Energy Monitor—Class 0.2 (± 0.2% accuracy) four quadrant, multi-function three-phase energy meter with advanced power quality features including embedded harmonic analyzer, voltage and current THD, current TDD and K-Factor, inter harmonics THD up to 50th order harmonic; optionally available in pre-installed JIC steel enclosure with lockable window panel and 3Φ voltage terminal block;
- PowerSmart Revenue-Grade Power Quality Socket Meter—Precision Class 0.2 (± 0.2% accuracy) three-phase active energy and power demand meter provides multiple tariffs and time-of-use capability, transformer and line losses, unique anti-tampering and self-test functions; standard Form 9S socket configuration allows easy new or retrofit installation.
Features of the PowerSmart Meter family include, but are not limited to:
- Power Factor, THD, TDD, K-Factor, Sags, Swells, Spikes and Alarming;
- Modbus RTU via RS-485 communications protocol is standard; Modbus TCP/IP via Ethernet optional;
- Combines both static metering and time-of-use functions;
- Integral state-of-the-art EN50160-compliant power quality recorder;
- Supplied with PowerSoftware for meter set up and power quality analysis;
- Selection of solid- and split-core current options.
“PowerSmart meters combine real-time energy monitoring, advanced power quality functions and BAS communications in one integrated platform,” said Don Millstein, president of E-Mon. “PowerSmart meets the building sector’s growing need for metering and monitoring solutions that will help operators achieve a better level of performance, efficiency and cost savings with more granular management of the facility’s total energy envelope.”
