Schneider Electric PowerLogic PM8000 series power meters

The PowerLogic PM8000 series power meters have been added to the PowerLogic portfolio of power and energy meters from Schneider Electric, suitable for power-critical facilities such as hospitals, data centres and utilities.

In accordance with power quality standards IEC 61000-4-30 Class S and IEC 62586, the range is suitable for helping to ensure contractual obligations for the quality of electrical supplies. The meters have power quality analysis capabilities, such as EN 50160 compliance, sag/swell detection, waveform capture, disturbance direction detection, and trending and forecasting to help facility managers detect, mitigate and correct adverse conditions.

If a PQ event occurs, the disturbance direction detection feature can help to identify the location by determining if it occurred upstream or downstream of the meter, allowing the problem to be corrected more quickly.

Meters are available in both panel-mount and DIN rail-mount form factors.
