 Submetering
for Cost Allocation
In today's competitive business environment,
many plants have implemented cost-allocation and
accountability procedures in order to reduce utility costs.
NK Technologies' AutoPhase Digital Power
Transducer measures and displays power quantity information
(KW demand and KWH consumption) by phase and total, as well as
power quality information by phase. AutoPhase is easily
integrated with your existing automation and energy management
systems, eliminating the need for redundant networks.
Communications protocols include RS485,
RS232 and ModBus RTU.
Many utilities are penalizing customers who
have a bad power factor. These
penalties can amount to 10-20% of a plant's electric bill.
NK Technologies' AutoPhase power monitors
provide plant managers with real-time measurement of power
factor. This information helps companies implement timely
corrective action and monitor utility expenses.
AutoPhase's advanced microprocessor runs at
5 MIPS to provide high-speed sampling of voltage and current
waveforms. Digital signal processing ensures true RMS values
and high-accuracy measurement.
