Multi-circuit Smart Power Monitor
last update: September 12, 2013
As we enter times of even greater power shortages, overall monitoring of electric power alone starts to lose its effectiveness. The key to finding hidden wastes of electric power is to enhance the visibility of power consumption at the distribution panel breaker level. The KM1 can help you determine when, where, and how much electric power is being used to help reduce unnecessary power consumption.
Previously, measuring electric power for multiple circuits or systems required costly and difficult-to-install power sensors.
Measuring multiple circuits requires difficult installation and results in high costs.
The KM1 solves both the time and cost issues even for multiple circuits and systems.
The KM1 provides a simple and smart solution to the issues encountered with traditional power sensors.
A single KM1 can perform measurements for mixed distribution panels with circuits for both air-conditioners and lighting equipment.
One Measurement Master Unit accepts up to 4 CT inputs, and a CT Expansion Unit accepts up to 8 CT inputs. (Up to four CT Expansion Units can be added.) This enables the measurement of up to 36 single-phase two-wire circuits.
With the KM1, all you need is five Power Monitors.
You can reduce the mounting space by 76%.
The elimination of communications and power line crossovers results in less time and work required for wiring.
No VT equipment is required, even for 480 V measurements.
The KM1 performs high-precision measurement even below 5% of the rated current.
Even standby energy can be measured dependably.
The KM1 can provide accurate measurements without any current waveform distortion even after an inverter is installed. Measurement accuracy: ±2% FS This enables measuring the effectiveness of energy conservation measures after installation.
With the wide range of output capabilities on the KM1, you can see exactly when you should perform maintenance.
● Overcurrent, Undercurrent, Overvoltage, and Undervoltage Alarm Output
Use pulse inputs to measure production information at the same time, including flow rates, throughput, temperature inputs, and more. When this information is combined with other electric power data, you can easily visualize the specific power consumption.
* Input is performed with the KM1-EMU8A-FLK.
The effectiveness of power generation can be visualized by measuring the power consumption and regenerative power together at the same time.
The total power consumption and total time can be divided up between the three states of stopped, standby, and operating based on the power consumption value and pulse input. Classifying energy helps to clearly identify areas where improvement is possible.
* This function is supported only by the KM1-PMU[]A-FLK.
