Weidmüller power parameter measuring instruments offer high accuracy and can establish an effective energy management system for the "Monitor" series.
“Weidmüller’s power parameter measuring instruments can be used in various operating conditions of machinery and equipment, not only significantly saving energy but also maintaining high transparency in power usage. Besides ensuring grid quality, it is especially important in extending the lifespan of machinery and equipment,” said Jens Muttschall, Product Manager at Weidmüller. “Our power parameter measuring instruments can accurately measure and display relevant power parameters. Over time, we can accurately understand power consumption. One of its features is its extremely simple installation process, making it suitable for new installations and easy for equipment upgrades.”
The precise conclusions of energy management
The Weidmüller power parameter measuring instrument can accurately measure current, voltage, power, power factor, apparent power of each phase, reactive power, and active power. Regarding measurement accuracy, the current measurement accuracy is 1mA, and even very small power consumption in standby mode will be recorded. Featuring high-precision measurement levels and a screen refresh rate of 0.1 seconds, the Weidmüller power parameter measuring instrument complies with international standard IEC62053-21 and corresponding European standards.

The new PowerMonitor51A power parameter measuring instrument improves system integration thanks to its two digital signal inputs and outputs, providing additional analysis capabilities. This allows it to switch to energy-saving mode or trigger alarm mode, effectively preventing damage to machines and equipment.

Comprehensive solution
“Weidmüller power parameter measuring instruments have a wide range of applications in the automation industry, involving all automated manufacturing processes and other infrastructure. In this industry, the product lifecycle is defined, so even the energy consumption of the smallest component must be calculated accurately,” Muttschall explained.
Weidmüller power parameter measuring instruments have proven to be exceptional. In energy-intensive applications, such as fully automated welding robots, proper measurement enables control. Our industrial current transformers and communication components, such as serial/Ethernet converters designed for integrating power parameter measuring instruments into existing Ethernet architectures, provide a perfect all-around solution.
