PowerMonitor 5000 Unit Overview
Safety
Product Description
The PowerMonitor 5000 unit is the next generation of high-end electric
metering products from Rockwell Automation. This new family of meters
provides advanced technology, new functionality, faster response, and excellent
accuracy. The M5 model is the base version and provides an extensive range of
metering functionality. The M6 model expands the metering capabilities of the
M5 with basic power quality monitoring functionality, including harmonics up
to the 63rd, waveforms and logging, and classification of power quality events.
The M8 model adds advanced power quality monitoring functions, including
flicker that is caused by voltage fluctuations, subcycle transient capture,
harmonics up to the 127th order, and interharmonic groups up to the 50th order.
The PowerMonitor 5000 unit communicates power and energy parameters to
controllers, HMI software, and applications such as FactoryTalk® EnergyMetrix™
software over the Ethernet network or other optional networks.
The PowerMonitor 5000 unit works with controllers or software applications to
address key customer applications including the following:
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel, following accepted safety
procedures, can install, wire, and service the PowerMonitorâ„¢ 5000 unit and
its associated components. Before beginning any work, disconnect all
sources of power and verify that they are de-energized and locked out.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death,
property damage, or economic loss.
ATTENTION: Never open a current transformer (CT) secondary circuit with
primary current applied. Wiring between the CTs and the
PowerMonitor 5000 unit must include a shorting terminal block in the CT
secondary circuit. The shorting of the secondary with primary current
present allows other connections to be removed if needed. An open CT
secondary with primary current applied produces a hazardous voltage,
which can lead to personal injury, death, property damage, or economic loss.
IMPORTANT The PowerMonitor 5000 unit is not designed for nor intended for use as a
circuit protective device. Do not use this equipment in place of a motor
overload relay or circuit protective relay.
