As part of a of a long-term technological collaboration, Phoenix Contact, manufacturer of industrial electronics, and Gossen Metrawatt, manufacturer of measuring and testing technology, have jointly developed a product for acquiring energy data. The objective of energy data acquisition is to identify potential for increasing energy efficiency, therefore helping to calculate costs.
The IB IL PM 3P/N/EF-PAC power measurement terminal expands inline I/O-stations to include a power management function, and it acquires sampling as well as basis-measured values of line supply parameters such as voltage, current and power. The device can analyse AC line supplies and can be used wherever conventional analog measuring instruments in distribution systems can no longer keep up with increasing requirements. This means that in the ‘sampling measured values’ operating mode, instantaneous values can be acquired so that the curve waveform of a measured value can be analysed.
Additional advantages of the power measurement terminal include voltage measurement up to 690 V AC (L-L); direct measurement of currents from 1 A or 5 A including the neutral conductor current; the ability to analyse harmonics up to the 31st harmonic; and synchronisation to the measurement interval of the power utility company.
