Schneider Electric PowerTag Wireless Sensors Simplify Energy Monitoring

Schneider Electric PowerTag Wireless Sensors Simplify Energy Monitoring

[Schneider Electric UK Ltd}

With growing focus on energy efficiency, Schneider Electric’s PowerTag wireless energy sensors offer an innovative solution: the world’s smallest wireless energy sensor. Chiefly, PowerTag provides a robust energy monitoring system that delivers full visibility into the power distribution within your electrical panels.

By gathering data from every circuit, it enables you to identify which loads consume the most energy, and you will also receive notifications if a breaker trips or there is a sudden voltage loss.

Enhance Your Energy Panels with Smarter Technology

PowerTag is versatile and suitable for residential, small business, commercial, and industrial applications. Importantly, it is applicable for both new and existing sites.  It is also compatible with Schneider’s Harmony wireless devices.

A standout feature of PowerTag is its seamless integration with Schneider Electric distribution panels. Moreover, the sensors mount directly onto circuit breakers without tools, and being wireless and self-powered, they boast the smallest footprint and fastest installation in the industry.

Additionally, PowerTag sensors seamlessly share data with any building management or process control system, offering detailed electrical usage analytics and panel diagnostics for a comprehensive view of your electrical infrastructure. Plus, they are EcoStruxure-ready.

What is EcoStruxure?

EcoStruxure is Schneider Electric’s IoT-enabled, plug-and-play, open, interoperable architecture designed for homes, buildings, data centres, infrastructure, and industries. Specifically, it integrates monitoring, metering, and protection functions to enhance energy efficiency. The PowerTag Link communication system, based on the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, enables real-time data exchange between switchboards, busbar trunking systems, and supervisory systems or PLCs. This real-time data exchange helps in achieving energy efficiency targets and monitoring final loads.

Monitor It. Secure It. PowerTag It.

Improve your energy efficiency and reduce costs by tagging your electrical protection devices up to 2000 A with PowerTag Energy. Pair it with the gateway to receive key insights.

The wireless energy sensor gateway allows real-time monitoring of switchboards via embedded web pages for local access. Acting as a data concentrator, the gateway also ensures secure communication. Equally important, through the gateway, you will benefit from:

  • Accurate real-time measurements and energy data
  • Pre-alarm notifications for overcurrent events
  • Real-time alarms and email notifications for voltage loss or overload trips

System monitoring for PowerTag supports your energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction goals. In addition, it aligns with energy efficiency programs (EED, EPBD) and complies with international standards (IEC 60364-8-1, EN 17267, ISO 50001).
