What are Energy Meters

Energy meters, also known as Electrical Meters or Energy Monitors, are devices used to measure and monitor energy use. They give highly accurate and reliable readings resulting in quality measurement and data. There are various types of energy meter which record information, such as power, frequency, voltage, current and wattage.

Energy meters are usually panel mounted or DIN rail mounted, or some plug directly into a mains socket. DIN rail mounted energy meters are suitable for equipment rack mounting. Energy meters are a type of electrical measuring device which shows how much energy is being used. Energy consumption is an important factor for both environmental and cost reduction purposes. Integrating an energy meter into a power management system is ideal for monitoring energy efficiency.

LCD displays and analogue dials are commonly found on the front of electrical meters and are used to display meter readings. These displays may also feature buttons to navigate the meter and control aspects such as back lighting and language options.RS have a great range and types of energy meters that measure different parameters, dependant on the application measurement they are used for.
