Schneider Electric PowerLogic PM5000 Series Power Meters

Product Overview

The PowerLogic PM5000 Series is designed for electrical distribution monitoring, energy visibility and basic power quality analysis. It helps facility, energy and electrical teams monitor current, voltage, power, power factor, energy, demand, unbalance, harmonics, alarms and historical logs depending on the selected model.

The range is suitable for main incomers, sub-main feeders, MCC panels, distribution boards, tenant metering, utility metering points, production areas and critical electrical loads.

Positioning: PM5000 is ideal for practical multi-function metering, sub-metering, demand management, power factor review, harmonic visibility and IoTWatt 4.0 integration.
