8300 ION Power MeterAdvanced Socket-Mount Meter

The 8300 ION is the most economical offering in our industry-leading 8000 series line, which also includes our 8400 ION and 8500 ION meters.

The meter raises the bar for revenue meters within its price range through a unique combination of capability and adaptability.

Used to monitor electric power networks, service entrances and substations, the meter answers the needs of deregulation by giving you the tools to manage complex energy supply contracts that include commitments to power quality.

Integrate it with our PEGASYS® software or other energy management and SCADA systems through multiple communication channels and protocols.

 

Applications Summary

Revenue Metering
The economical 8300 ION combines high accuracy power, energy, demand and TOU measurements with power quality features to give you quick and easy access to a wealth of metering information. Energy suppliers can offer customized rates, flexible billing, and transformer/line loss compensation in addition to monitoring compliance with complex energy supply contracts. Energy consumers can audit their power requirements and confirm their bills.

Cost Allocation
Determine cost centers, identify demand control opportunities and check energy usage patterns.

Demand & Power Factor Control
Avoid penalties with automated load shedding, scheduling, peak shaving or capacitor bank control.

Load Curtailment
Implement load curtailment and distributed generation strategies.

Equipment Monitoring & Control
Base your maintenance schedule on actual operating history. Meter all your utilities including gas, steam, water and more.

Energy Pulsing & Totalization
Use digital I/O for KYZ pulsing, end-of-interval and totalization.
