PowerLogic Enercept

Split-core CT form factor for basic electrical metering

Part of PowerLogic™

Innovative form factor puts metering inside a split-core CT

Features

The PowerLogic Enercept has three interconnected, easy-to-install split-core CTs that combine accurate digital metering and communications electronics inside one of the CT housings. This innovative form factor eliminates the need for a separate meter enclosure, which reduces installation costs by up to 70 percent.

Two versions are available:

  • Enhanced – delivers 26 energy parameters, including volts, amps, power factor and reactive power

Basic – reports power and energy

Benefits

  • Very cost-effective option for basic electrical metering (precision metering electronics and current transformers in a single package, and no external PTs are required)
  • Reduce metering installation costs by as much as 70%
  • Employs Modbus RTU communication protocol and easily integrates into an existing network
  • Uses RS-485 wiring which simplifies installation and integration into an existing network
  • High accuracy ±1% of reading from 10-100% of the rated current of the CTs
  • Improves response times to power quality-related issues

Applications

  • Measure efficiency, reveal opportunities and verify savings
  • Sub-bill tenants for energy costs
  • Allocate energy costs to departments or processes
  • Identify billing discrepancies
  • Leverage existing infrastructure capacity and avoid over-building
  • Verify the reliable operation of equipment
  • Improve the response to power quality-related problems
