PowerLogic PM800 series

power meter

Compact power, energy and power quality meters

The Square D PowerLogic PM800 series power meters combine accurate, 3-phase energy and power measurement with data logging, power quality analysis, alarm and I/O capabilities not typically available in a compact meter. The meters are ideally suited to local and remote monitoring of low or high voltage electrical installations in industrial facilities, commercial buildings, utility networks or critical power environments. Facility and operations personnel will benefit in reducing energy-related costs while avoiding power quality conditions that can reduce equipment life and productivity. PowerLogic PM800 series power meters are easy to install and use, offering integrated or remote high-visibility displays. A choice of three models and a range of expansion modules help match features to the application and support field-upgrading of meters as required. Serial and Ethernet communication options enable the meters to be used within a PowerLogic power and energy management system or with third-party automation systems.

Typical applications
Power quality compliance monitoring Validate that power delivered or received complies with the EN50160 international power quality standard. Disturbance and harmonic analysis Detect, troubleshoot and resolve power anomalies that can affect sensitive manufacturing, production, data or laboratory processes and equipment. Energy metering, cost allocation and sub-billing Upload metered energy values to software to support utility bill verification, contract optimization and cost allocation or billing by department, area or process. Demand and power factor control Trend and forecast energy and demand to help analyze usage patterns, compare load characteristics and manage energy costs. Manage demand or power factor using setpoint-triggered relays to control loads or capacitor banks. Load studies and circuit optimization Optimize load curtailment and load preservation programs to drive down energy costs and improve system reliability. Reveal unused electrical system capacity. Equipment monitoring and control Monitor the status or condition of breakers, generators or other equipment. Automatically or manually control equipment using on-board relays. Preventive maintenance Track and alarm on equipment conditions that could indicate excessive wear, imminent malfunction or poor energy inefficiency. Verify that power distribution and mitigation equipment is operating reliably and within specified tolerances. Integrated utility metering Read energy pulses from other water, air, gas, electric, or steam (WAGES) meters. Automatically aggregate and convert pulses to energy units for upload to energy management software.

Installation
Mounting Options A meter with integrated display, or a remote display module, can be panel-mounted through a square cutout or retrofit through an existing round meter hole using two clips with no tools required. A small panel footprint and shallow depth make the meters suitable for low voltage switchboards, shallow cable compartments or on stand-alone machines. The meter unit (without display) is DIN rail compatible. Meters with the optional integrated display can be door panel mounted when voltage connections are within the local regulation limits. When voltage exceeds these limits, the meter unit can be mounted inside the electrical cabinet with an optional remote display connected via a display adapter and cable. The display adapter includes a configurable 2- or 4-wire RS-485/RS-232 port. A single remote display can be transferred between any meter units equipped with display adapters. Circuit and control power connections Compatible with low and high voltage 3 and 4-wire, wye and delta systems. Direct connect inputs up to 600 V ac line-to-line or use voltage (potential) transformers for higher voltage systems. All models offer a universal AC or DC power supply.

Onboard data and event logging

Data is stored in nonvolatile onboard memory, increasing the reliability of critical information used for billing and troubleshooting by eliminating data gaps that can occur due to network outages or computer server downtime. Minimum/maximum log: for all instantaneous readings, logs worst phase since last reset, including date and time stamp. See measurements table for parameters logged.

Maintenance log (all models): records date and time of energy, I/O and demand resets, firmware downloads, power outages and option module changes. Alarm log (all models): records all user-defined alarm conditions with date/time stamping to 1 second resolution. Billing log and energy per interval: logs kWh in and total, kVARh in and total, kVAh total, PF total, kW and kVar demand. Logs at 15 minute, daily and monthly intervals. Energy per interval log tracks usage and cost for up to three user-defined shifts per day. Customizable data logs: One on PM820, three on PM850 and PM870. Each log can record up to 96 user-defined parameters. Trend logging and forecasting (PM850 and PM870): trending for energy and demand average, minimum and maximum values by four trend curves. Min/max and average data available for each quantity at intervals of minutes, hours, days and months. Forecasting feature looks into the future by automatically forecasting average, minimum and maximum for the next four hours and next four days. Statistical summaries available for hours and weeks. Logging capacity is 80 kB for PM820, and 800kB for PM850 and PM870. All models provide a battery-backed internal clock. Default logging is set at the factory, logging starts as soon as meter is powered up.

Digital and analog inputs and outputs

All models provide a single digital status/counter input and digital (KY type) output on the meter unit. A range of optional field-installable expansion modules will add more digital and analog I/O as required. Up to two expansion modules can be installed per meter (including logging or communication modules). Digital output relays can act in response to internal alarms, external digital input status changes, or commands over communications. Digital inputs can be used to trigger alarms, trigger logging, synchronize to a demand pulse or control conditional energy accumulation. All models offer five channels for metering of water, air, gas, electricity or steam utilities (WAGES) through the digital input pulse counting and consumption/ demand calculation capabilities of the meter. Pulses from multiple inputs can be summed through a single channel.

Alarm and control functions

Over 50 definable alarm conditions with 1 second response time can be used to log critical events or to perform control functions. Trigger on over or under conditions on any measured parameters, phase unbalance, digital input changes and more. Multiple alarms can be defined, with each alarm individually configured with pickup setpoint, dropout setpoint and delay. Each alarm can be assigned one of four priority classes. Assign multiple alarms to a single quantity to create alarm levels. Assign different actions based on the severity level of the alarm. Use alarms to trigger waveform recording, data logging or to control digital outputs. Boolean alarm logic (PM850 and PM870 only) increases flexibility by allowing the combination of up to four other alarms using NAND, AND, OR, NOR and XOR functions.
