CS Instruments CS PM 5110 Current/Effective Power Meter

Description

In modern industrial facilities, understanding power usage is the first step toward optimization. The CS Instruments CS PM 5110 Current/Effective Power Meter offers a robust solution for measuring voltage and current to accurately calculate effective power and energy consumption. Unlike simple ammeters, this unit provides a comprehensive view of your electrical parameters, including active power (kW), apparent power (kVA), and reactive power (kVar).

The device is engineered for connectivity and ease of data management. Its primary advantage lies in its digital communication capabilities. All measured values are transmitted via Modbus RTU directly to compatible data loggers, specifically the DS 500 mobile and DS 400 mobile. This digital transfer eliminates signal degradation associated with analog transmission and ensures that the data recorded is identical to the data measured.

By integrating the PM 5110 into your monitoring system, you can correlate energy usage with production output, specifically for calculating the specific power of air compressors (kWh/m³). This metric is vital for identifying inefficient machinery and verifying the performance of your compressed air station.

Brand
