Eaton Energy & Power Measurement
Eaton’s energy and power measurement solutions cover equipment for measuring, monitoring and surveillance of electrical quantities like voltage, current, power, energy, energy consumption, frequency and effective power factor in industrial, building and utilities applications. Power and energy measurement solutions enhance understanding of electrical power consumption and load profile, helping to improve power reliability, increase uptime, reduce energy costs and promote energy conservation. In industrial electrical systems, power and energy measurement solutions are commonly used to monitor equipment performance, allocate energy costs to specific processes, guide maintenance and troubleshoot poor power quality, with the result of minimizing unplanned outages and increasing equipment life.
Power and energy measurement systems can also be used as part of energy efficiency improvement initiatives, to support compliance with IEL standards and GHG emissions disclosure requirements, and to ensure accurate billing of power supplied to the organization by the utility. For comprehensive facility management, energy and power measurement devices installed at the electrical service entrance and monitored by a building management system provide power management and control capabilities to any enterprise.
