As part of our 'specialist service and products' partnership agreement with PDI Corp., Anord can now offer the patented Branch Circuit Monitoring System (BCMS) to the UK and European markets.
By utilising BCMS, data centre operators can now pro-actively monitor power consumption at individual final circuit level, allowing enhanced load planning across commercial data centres and advanced energy metering within dedicated hosting and co-location facilities.
BCMS can be offered within Anord Intelligent PDU's, or as a cost effective upgrade to conventional PDU's, with retrofit options also available to allow integration to any brand of existing PDU. BCMS is network enabled delivering information to an Anord SCADA package or 3rd party BMS/EMS system via Modbus or SNMP protocol.
Benefits/Features
- Monitor Voltage, Current, Frequency & Kilowatt hours per circuit*
- Monitor phase loss per panelboard
- User definable set point alarms for over and under current per circuit
- Fits any manufacturers panelboard configuration
