CS Instruments Mobile Active/Reactive Power Meter CS PM 600

Description

In the field of industrial maintenance and energy management, mobility and accuracy are paramount. The CS Instruments Mobile Active/Reactive Power Meter CS PM 600 bridges the gap between fixed panel meters and portable troubleshooting tools. It is designed to measure the power consumption of large machines and motors that significantly impact your facility’s operational costs.

The device works by measuring both voltage and current to calculate active power (kW), apparent power (kVA), and reactive power (kVar). This capability is crucial for understanding the true load profile of equipment like air compressors. By using the CS PM 600, operators can determine not just how much electricity a machine consumes, but how efficiently it converts that electricity into useful work.

With the CS-PM600 it is possible to do the comprehensive analysis required for ISO 50001 energy management standards. Its mobile design means it can be deployed rapidly to different locations within a plant, making it an indispensable asset for energy managers looking to optimize specific power consumption across various production lines.

Brand

CS Instruments

CS Instruments GmbH & Co. KG with locations in 24955 Harrislee and 78052 Villingen-Schwenningen/ Tannheim, is managed by Dipl. Eng. (FH) Wolfgang Blessing as sole Managing Director.

CS Instruments GmbH was established in the year 2002 by Christian Schuldt and Wolfgang Blessing as equal shareholders/Managing Directors.

Wolfgang Blessing already was sound a specialist on the sector of compressed air technology resp. industrial measurement technology long before the establishment of CS Instruments GmbH in the year 2002. Prior to the foundation of CS Instruments GmbH Dipl. Ing. (FH) Wolfgang Blessing acted for more than 10 years as primarily responsible product manager for industrial measurement technology at a worldwide known manufacturer of measuring instruments for compressed air and gases in the Black Forest. The technical knowledge and experience matched with the long-term practical knowledge was the corner stone for the success of CS Instruments.
