Schneider Electric iEM3000, EM3500 and PM3200 series three-phase, DIN rail-mounted energy and power meters

Energy management specialist Schneider Electric has announced the release of the iEM3000, EM3500 and PM3200 series three-phase, DIN rail-mounted range of energy and power meters; suitable for energy reporting, bill validation and cost-allocation applications. The meters vary from basic kWh meters for the most basic applications to advanced power meters capable of network monitoring applications.

The iEM3000 offers both direct connect and CT-connected meters, basic meters for manual reading, pulse outputs for water, air, gas, electricity, steam (WAGES) applications, and multi-tariff meters with digital inputs, digital outputs and communications, so users can divide consumption over four periods to help discriminate peak and off-peak consumptions, workdays and weekends, or different energy sources (ie, utilities versus generator).

All the meters share numerous design features that help save installation time, costs and space for panel builders. Easy comb connections and the separation of power and communication connections help increase safety and make wiring simpler for the installer.

Designed to be simple, reliable and efficient to use, the series is said to make energy efficiency more accessible for tertiary and industrial buildings. When integrated with energy management software like StruxureWare Power Monitoring 7.0, the meters gather the information necessary for electrical managers to optimise energy consumption in their buildings and enable energy efficient practices for their tenants.
