Benefits

Unmatched versatility

• Use a single PowerLogic ION8650 meter for revenue metering, power quality monitoring and substation automation applications simultaneously.
• Modular, flexible ION technology can adapt to ever-changing industry standards and regulations, so your infrastructure doesn’t have to change.

Easy to order, install and configure

• Fewer part numbers: easier to choose and stock the right meters
• Easier installation with user configurable wiring modes (Socket meters use ION Setup; switchboard meters use the front panel)
• Easy meter configuration using ION Setup software, an intuitive, user-friendly and free meter configuration tool
  

Cutting-edge power and reliability

• Increased revenue metering accuracy (twice that of the current standard)
• Compliance to IEC 61000-4-30 class A/S to guarantee international quality-of-supply standards
• Compliance to IEC 61850 substation protocol for improved integration into SCADA systems
• Disturbance direction detection
