PowerMonitor Products Application Guide
Select the Right Hardware
The selection of the right power monitoring hardware is critical to achieving your energy management goals. At the core,
each PowerMonitor unit functions on the same basic principle: Voltage and current signals are wired to the
PowerMonitor unit and the PowerMonitor unit uses those values to calculate power, energy, and power factor.

The differences between the PowerMonitor units come in the features that each one offers. When selecting the right
power monitor based on the type of application and the desired business goal, consider several factors:
Measurement Capacity
Consumption/Demand
Power Factor
Power Quality: Sag/Swell Detection, Harmonics, Transients
Waveform Capture
Accuracy
Accuracy as a percentage: 'Revenue Grade Accuracy'
Networking/Communication
EtherNet/IP, Serial
Internal Data Logging Capacity
Record activity without external data logging software
Embedded Inputs/Outputs
Status Inputs: Log data from external meters via pulse inputs
Relay Outputs: Direct control over connected devices
KYZ Outputs: Standardized pulse output for electrical metering
Setpoint Control
Activate outputs based on internal metering setpoints
Example: Turn off Relay 1 if power consumption exceeds 3 kW
