Best Power Meter?
I am thinking about installing a new multifunctional Power Meter Device but I have no idea which one to choose. Does anybody have experiences recording to products like the pm-series by Schneider Electric, the Diris-series by Socomec or other products like the ones mentioned?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
I've had good luck with the GE Multilin products.
Yes, GE PL 5500P is a good product.
I have had bad experiences with the 5500P from GE. The best meter I have worked with so far is the Shark 100 manufactured by Electro Industries. It's cheap, accurate and provides excellent communication options.
I too am investigating power meters. We have had good luck with the ION 6200, but want to step up the accuracy to an ANSI C12 Class .2 device with Ethernet, modbus RTU, waveform capture and logging abilites. The Rockwell 3000 looks nice... anyone out there have experience with it?
