Monitoring outdoor power supply installation

What metering & monitoring devices are required for a new building?

Power Metering and Monitoring Devices BROCHURE 2 DIRIS A & DIRIS B - SOCOMEC 1Energy management codes and best practice The latest energy codes and standards require new building designs to include sub- metering for the main building consumption and the different load categories (HVAC, indoor and outdoor Lighting, power outlets).

What is advanced power monitoring?

Advanced power monitoring in switchgears, switchboards, or motor control center (MCC) enables facilities managers to monitor their electrical installation and detect anomalies before they lead to premature equipment ageing and failure.

Which power meters can send email notifications to remote maintenance teams?

Advanced power meters with Ethernet connection can send email notifications to remote maintenance teams. SOCOMEC - DIRIS A & DIRIS B 3 Introducing the DIRIS A-100 / A-200, Socomec‘s latest breakthrough in Power Quality Monitoring.

Why should a power meter be installed on a switchboard feed?

A power meter installed on a building‘s main switchboard feed provides a baseline for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly energy consumption whilst also identifying drifts and inefficiencies. Power meters with full Time of Use (ToU) management can even help verify utility bills and avoid peak demand charges.

What is a power quality meter?

Proudly engineered, developed, and built in Europe, this Power Quality Meter has been designed to reconcile performance and simplicity. It is compatible with our RJ12 smart current sensors for unmatched accuracy and ease of commissioning, the DIRIS A-100 / A-200 also support core-balanced toroïds for additional residual current monitoring.

How do power meter alarms work?

Power meters with visual indicators on electrical panel doors will alert nearby personnel to potential issues. Any unusual situations detected by the power meter through the activation of measurement alarms should serve as a means to notify on-site operators.
