UPC-KWH Measures Energy Usage View Document

Universal Power Cell UPC-KWH KWH-3 DM-100

For process energy monitoring & control
 
The Universal Power Cell (UPC-KWH) is the latest addition to an innovative range of high performance “Hall Effect” power sensors for motor load control. The UPC-KWH has been designed specifically for process monitoring & control where monitoring energy usage accurately is critical to the production process. Designed to cope with the most difficult of motor load sensing tasks when other power sensors and motor load controls are unable to function reliably, such as on the output of variable frequency or inverter drives. In combination with associated KWH-3 energy meter and the DM-100 load meter, the UPC-KWH is suitable for many applications such as “Batch Mixing”, where the sensor accumulates the total power absorbed in the mixing process for consistent production batches as in the mixing of rubber, dough and clay which all respond to energy control.
