The Schneider Electric METSEPM8243 is a compact, DIN rail mount power quality meter from the PowerLogic PM8000 series designed for intermediate energy metering and power monitoring applications. This multifunction device measures voltage, current, frequency, active and reactive power, apparent power, power factor, energy consumption, and harmonics up to the 63rd order. The meter features revenue-grade Class 0.2S accuracy conforming to IEC 62053-22 and IEC 61000-4-30 Class S power quality monitoring capabilities. It includes 512 MB of onboard memory for data logging, waveform capture, and power quality analysis, with 256 samples per cycle sampling rate. The unit supports multiple communication protocols including Ethernet and RS485, three digital inputs, one pulse output, and web server functionality. It is certified for energy accuracy and power quality measurement by third-party labs, making it suitable for critical power facilities requiring detailed electrical system monitoring and analysis.
