SATEC’s BFM-II multi circuit power meter is the next generation of branch feeder monitor, providing energy management for multiple circuits. Flexibility for both new and retrofit projects, the BFM-II provides metering, demand and energy readings, logging and multi-tariff (TOU) data solutions.
BFM-II MULTI CIRCUIT POWER METER
The New Face in Multi Circuit Power Metering
NMI APPROVAL COMING SOON
The BFM-II multi circuit power meter measures any combination of single or three-phase circuits based on the modularity for current circuit inputs. The modular design offers a selection of 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 or 54 channels easily fit into existing panel boards or to be flush mounted nearby, thus eliminating the need for expensive retrofit projects or for allocating extra space for the device.
Modular design format
The modular design offers a selection of 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 or 54 channels that easily fit into existing panel boards or to be flush mounted nearby.
Multi-circuit energy reading
The BFM-II provides metering, demand and energy readings, logging and multi-tariff (TOU) data solutions.
Combination of single or three-phase circuits
The BFM-II measures any combination of single or three-phase circuits based on the modularity for current circuit inputs.
Easily fit into existing panel board
Main panel board or load center installation makes for a valuable saving of both time and money.
Multi-Tenant Submetering
The BFM-II multi circuit power meter supports *power quality monitoring to identify existing and potential operation problems, such as overloading or malfunctioning due to voltage or current harmonics, or voltage sags and swell (*contact SATEC for future release and availability).
The BFM-II utilises High Accuracy Current Sensors (HACS), which measure and report the current consumed by each of the branch circuits at the panel board. For load management purposes, single or multiple circuits can be defined for each customer. This flexibility allows for a simple reassignment of circuit groups without wiring changes, and enables easy changes when tenants move in and out. Main panel board or load center installation makes for a valuable saving of both time and money.
The BFM’s user-defined and easily configured alarm system enables users to take predictive maintenance action in order to avoid unnecessary outages.
Expansion modules for digital inputs from water, gas meters in addition to digital outputs provides a complete solution for Energy Management applications.
