The Setra Networked Multi-Load Power Meter is a networked revenue grade power meters built on a versatile and powerful platform designed to meet the high demands of any submetering application. Available in 3, 12 or 48 load configurations, the meter enclosure and intuitive web portal interface significantly reduce installation time and cost per metering point. The Power Meter 12 & 48 load meters come standard with dual voltage inputs, and all versions are field configurable for use of standard or Rogowski style current transformers. The Setra Power Meter enables safe and accurate measurement of both low and high amperage services.
Every Power Meter was designed to simplify the installation process on the job site or at the office. The enclosure of the power meter is its own NEMA 1 rated electrical enclosure. This eliminates the need to purchase an electrical panel for the job and saves time and money. The field rotatable display allows the installer to put the conduit holes exactly where they need to be for any mounting configuration. Installation and configuration is easy even in the tightest locations in the electrical room. Setra's on-board web portal interface allows for safe pre-configuration of all parameters before, during, or after the meter has been installed. The web portal also offers the ability to access powerful analytics and installation tools directly through the USB or communication connection.
Each Power Meter comes standard with field selectable BACnet and Modbus communication protocols. The communications interface is through either an EIA-485 serial connection (BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU) or over Ethernet (BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP). The Power Meter also offers one configurable pulse output and two configurable pulse inputs, enabling more data collection at the meter.
Multi-load monitoring provides the granularity needed to drive energy savings and manage usage at a load level. Leveraging the dual-voltage inputs on the 12 and 48 models the user can measure any combination of single, dual or three phase service up to the amount of CT inputs on the meter. Every version of the Setra Power Meter comes standard with data logging capabilities, allowing the user to gain access to the data with the web portal software for up to 62 days.
All aspects of the Power Meter enclosure and interface were designed to protect the user from harm. Setra's NFPA70E compliant USB interface allows the user to safely make configuration changes or access data without having to wear PPE or shut down the service to the panel. All Power Meters come standard with a 200 KAIC fuse, making it one of the highest rated devices on an electrical system and exceeds most safety requirements.
