Product Overview

The PowerLogic PM8000 Series 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. It is suitable for industrial plants, data centres, hospitals, airports, utilities, water treatment plants, semiconductor facilities and other critical power users.

PM8000 meters can be used as standalone panel meters, DIN rail meters with remote display, or fully integrated digital metering nodes in EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert, EMS, BMS, SCADA and IoTWatt 4.0 systems.

Positioning: Use PM8000 Essential for cost-effective advanced metering, PM8000 Standard where Class S power quality functions and larger memory are required, and PM8000 Advanced where Class A power quality, flicker and higher diagnostic capability are required.

Typical Monitoring Architecture

PM8000 meters are installed at critical electrical points such as main incomers, transformer feeders, UPS feeders, generator panels, critical distribution boards or major process feeders. Data can be communicated through dual Ethernet, RS485, optional 4-wire RS485 or optional Fiber Ethernet to PME, EMS, BMS, SCADA or IoTWatt 4.0.
