As the Smart Grid continues to evolve and facility managers are increasingly tasked with controlling energy costs and power reliability, electrical installations need better measurement capabilities. This requires more extensive metering and monitoring capabilities deeper into each facility, performed by reliable devices.
Power metering and monitoring devices (PMDs) compliant with the IEC 61557-12 standard are meeting these new requirements, with guaranteed performance. Up to now, choosing the best PMD for each application has been difficult due to the lack of common references between vendors regarding accuracy, operating conditions, and quality.
