Energy management is significant in rendering optimum power quality. IPD offers the finest power monitoring equipment from SOCOMEC and MEAN WELL, global pioneers in the industry. IPD offers a wide range of products in its portfolio, inclusive of voltage and current measurement modules, current sensors and auxiliary devices such as communication interfaces, power supplies and accessories.

Current Measurement Modules

Current measurement is of crucial significance in many power and instrumentation systems. Conventionally, current sensing was largely for circuit protection and control. However, with the advancement in technology, current sensing has emerged as a method to monitor and enhance performance. Current sensing switches come in handy in widely used applications such as,

• Conveyors where overloads and jams can be easily detected
• Critical motors
• Ancillary equipment
• Heating elements due to its faster response than temperature sensors
• Proof of flow, since electronic current sensing switches eliminate the need for various pipe or duct penetrations and are more dependable than electro-mechanical pressure or flow switches

IPD offers SOCOMEC’s DIRIS Digiware current measurement modules. These current sensing switches conform to international standards and safety regulations (IEC 61557-12, ISO 14025), ensuring optimum results. Current modules for metering, monitoring, and analysis applications with 3, 4 and 6 inputs are available with the capability of measuring multiple power quality attributes.

Voltage Measurement Modules

Voltage measurement devices use volts to express the difference in electrical potential between two points on an electrical or electronic circuit. It calculates the potential energy of an electric field to induce an electric current in a conductor. Applications of voltage measurement modules are as follows,

• Power failure detection
• Load sensing
• Control of power demand
• Safety Switching
• Temperature control

IPD offers SOCOMEC’s DIRIS Digiware U voltage measurement modules. These voltage sensing devices conform to international standards and safety regulations (IEC 61557-12, ISO 14025), ensuring optimum results. Voltage modules for metering, monitoring, and analysis applications are available with the capability of measuring multiple power quality attributes. The DIRIS Digiware U module measures voltage for the entire system. This pools together all voltage measurements. The Digiware RJ45 Bus allows you to pass voltage measurements as well as power supply and communication to all connected products.

IPD's Current & Voltage Sensing Switches Making Connection and Configuration Easy

The DIRIS Digiware system is a focal point of technological advances that modernizes the world of measurements, bringing a high degree of flexibility to installations and making connection and configuration easy. These innovations, together with unrivaled performance in terms of accuracy and functionality, make DIRIS Digiware the most effective solution for metering consumption, measuring, and monitoring the quality of electrical energy in industrial and commercial applications. A single current measurement module has the ability to monitor several circuits due to independent current inputs which is a clear advantage. It has an accuracy class of 0.5 overall and can sense 2% to 120% of nominal currents, with the meter alone rating at an accuracy class of 0.2. The usage of a single voltage measurement point for the entire system, single point of protection for voltage measuring built to be adapted to all types of network: single-phase, three-phase are some of the significant advantages of the voltage measurement device.
