Schneider Electric, a leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, is extending its line of PowerLogic EM4200 series Enercept energy and power meters to include five new models.
The new meters, which join the previously announced line of Enercept Flex meters, will provide installers with enhanced application flexibility and options for retrofit applications, says the company.
The EM4200 series Enercept meters are described as being ideal for energy management, tenant sub-billing and demand response applications in existing retail stores and shopping centres, commercial offices, hotels and other types of buildings, and provide a total retrofit solution for measuring energy via a single device.
The small form factor enables retrofit installation into existing panels to save wall space, installation time and material cost.
Mark Nolan, director, offer management and marketing, Schneider Electric, says: “The Enercept series meters solve the challenges that organisations are currently facing in creating more efficient buildings in retrofit environments.
“With the extended line of Enercept series meters, contractors can significantly cut down on installation time, and building managers can quickly commission and utilise data from the meters to improve energy use and costs over a building’s lifecycle.”
The Enercept meters were designed with the end user in mind, offering maximum flexibility through two major options:
• System-calibrated Enercept series meters simplify ordering and come with pre-wired low-voltage (LVCT) or Rogowski coil current transducers, as well as pre-wired fuse packs.
• Enercept Flex meters offer the flexibility required for many sites where selecting the type and size of current transducer is desired. The Enercept Flex is compatible with standard 0.333 volt split and solid core low-voltage current transducers, or rope-style Rogowski coil current transducers.
When installed, the Enercept series meters automatically integrate with Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Power and Energy Management solutions via auto-detect software to provide building managers with data that can improve energy efficiency by up to 20 per cent. The meters are compatible with other building management system (BMS) software and are equipped with BACnet and Modbus protocols.
