Power Meter

1. Power Meter with display SICAM P50

Power meter for panel mounting with graphic display and background illumination used for acquiring and/or displaying measured values in electrical power supply systems.

More than 100 values can be measured, including r.m.s. values of voltages (phase-to-phase and/or phase-to ground), currents, active, reactive and apparent power and energy, power factor, phase angle, harmonics ofcurrents and voltages, total harmonic distortion per phase plus frequency and symmetry factor, energy output, as well as external signals and states.

Applications

Power monitoring systems with power meter, a permanently installed system, enables continuous logging of energy-related data and provides information on operational characteristics of electrical systems. SICAM P helps identify sources of energy consumption and time of peak consumption. This knowledge allows to allocate and reduce energy costs.

The major application area is power monitoring and recording at MV and LV level. The major information types are measured values, alarms and status information.

The input modules work with external signals with a measurement range of DC 0 – 20 mA. Mean values of all external analog channels as well as states of digital channels can be recorded and saved into the memory. All recorded quantities and binary state information can be “read out” and evaluated with the configuration software SICAM P Manager. Output modules can be used for conversion of any electrical quantity (current, voltage, etc.) into a DC 0 – 20 / 4 – 20 mA output signal, generation of impulses for metering, indication of limit value violations, as well as for switching operations.
