Control your energy costs with the EM530 and EM540 energy analysers

Carlo Gavazzi has extended its product offering by launching the EM530 and EM540 energy analysers, helping companies to reduce their energy consumption – this doesn’t just make good business sense; it’s good for the environment too.

The old adage that you cannot manage what you don’t measure is certainly true when it comes to electricity consumption. The simple function of installing metering on all of the primary energy-consuming plant in a factory or manufacturing facility will provide managers with useful data showing energy usage patterns.

Carlo Gavazzi says its EM530 and EM540 are perfectly suited to both active and reactive energy metering of individual machines. These meters can be used to monitor single machines, by comparing the energy consumption with the hours of operation, allowing for planned preventive maintenance and so minimising machine failures. The partial meter reset function option allows you to monitor each individual machine cycle in order to assign an energy cost to each component if required.

A selection of variables can be programmed to display providing for active and reactive energy measurement, options include: system and phase variables such as kW, kvar, kVA, VLL, VLN, PF, Hz, kWdmd, kWdmd peak; phase variables including kW, kvar, kVA, VLN, A, PF; and energy measurement, including kWh and kvarh (imported/ exported), kWh+ by 2 tariffs and kWh per phase.
