Phoenix Contact Energy & Power Measurement
Phoenix Contact energy and power measurement solutions are engineered for accurate, high-reliability metering of voltage, current, apparent and real power, energy consumption, and power quality. They enable commercial and industrial users to monitor equipment loads, energy demand, and electrical performance at the circuit, line, or load level for maintenance, diagnostics, and energy management applications. Phoenix Contact energy and power measurement products give plant engineers and facility managers true insight into the performance of their electrical infrastructures and automation systems to assure energy efficiency, supply quality, and reliable uptime.
Phoenix Contact energy and power measurement solutions make it easy to monitor and record electrical parameters for loads, motor drives, automation processes, control-panels, or distribution circuits and maintain availability and fault-tolerance. In many applications, knowing the real-time power requirements or historical current-voltage curves is invaluable for diagnosing problems, detection of harmonic distortion or voltage anomalies, preventing unplanned downtime, and supporting maintenance planning.
