Product Overview
PM8000 is designed for facilities that need more than basic kWh metering. It provides detailed electrical network visibility, power quality event capture, accurate energy measurement, demand monitoring, logging, alarms and communication flexibility.
PM8000 meters can be used as standalone panel meters, DIN rail meters with remote display, or integrated digital metering nodes in EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert, EMS, BMS, SCADA and IoTWatt 4.0 systems.
Positioning: Use Essential for cost-effective advanced metering, Standard for stronger PQ investigation, and Advanced for Class A PQ monitoring, flicker and higher diagnostic capability.
Why PM8000 Matters
PM8000 helps bridge the gap between normal power meters and full high-end PQ platforms. It provides energy accuracy, event visibility and integration flexibility in one meter family.
