World’s smallest wireless Class 1 energy sensor

Product Watch

 

Schneider Electric has grown its PowerLogic PowerTag Energy range, which now includes what the manufacturer state’s is the world’s smallest wireless Class 1 energy sensor. Designed to enhance the monitoring of electrical assets with an easy and compact connection to electrical devices using wireless communication, PowerTag Energy provides monitoring and accurate energy metering at the zone and load level.

Now available up to 2000 A and a remote display The PowerLogic PowerTag Energy further expands its range with three new products - PowerTag Flex 160A - PowerTag Rope up to 2000 A - PowerTag Link Display.

The first of its kind

Designed for any type of building, the PowerTag Energy monitors and measures current, voltage, power, power factor, and energy. Data is sent wirelessly to a concentrator/gateway, which can provide data to energy or building management systems, or through webpages. Customised e-mail or SMS alarms enable facility managers to remotely monitor their electrical assets. Non-intrusive, wireless communication immediately enables easiness of installation and commissioning.

PowerTag Energy is a key enabler of IoT EcoStruxure Power architecture. It brings, says Schneider, new opportunities to today’s power systems and energy management applications.

  • The wireless energy sensor, at Class 1 Active Energy Accuracy, supports energy efficiency programs (IEC 60364-8-1, ISO 50001, NABERS, GreenStar…), enables energy management features, like energy breakdown, cost allocation and complies with local standards (NCC2019 Sec J, ACMA RCM certification)
  • Robust wireless communication that is standards-compliant
  • Alarming features close to the load (voltage loss, overload…)
  • Installation and commissioning ‘fast and simple’, with minimal commissioning and integration time
  • Scalable capability makes it easy to adapt to new regulations, requirements, or changing business needs, promises the manufacturer.

PowerTag Energy main benefits:

  • Space saving: The PowerTag Energy is the only energy sensor that can be tagged to the breaker. There is no requirement for additional horizontal mounting space in electrical panels, which makes it perfect for both greenfield and retrofit installations.
  • Ease of installation: it greatly reduces installation time by up to 90% and its wireless capabilities mean there is no need to add communication cables.
  • Modular, flexible, and scalable: perfectly suited to adapt to changing business needs, energy regulations, or certifications, and can retrofit on any device.
  • Comprehensive range: Complete solution up to 2000A with a full range of wireless energy sensors.
  • Advanced connectivity: An innovation to enable Schneider Electric EcoStruxure solutions.
  • PowerTag Energy is natively integrated into Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure platforms to provide an all-in-one monitoring and control solution for building, grid, industry, and datacenter.
