Green automation with Panasonic: the new KW8M Eco-POWER METER

With our new KW8M Eco-POWER METERS, Panasonic provides long-term solutions to protect the environment and reduce energy consumption. For example, a reduction of 2000kW annually would lower CO² emissions by approximately 1 ton.

The KW8M is a compact, multifunctional energy measurement device that makes your energy consumption transparent. It can also be used directly in 3-phase industrial networks (400V). Besides being able to display values for current and voltage, it can also display values for active power, reactive power, apparent power, frequency and power factor, for example. Moreover, an hour meter is integrated and power-on and power-off time can be recorded.

The AKW8111H model allows you to store your data reliably.

The most important advantages at a glance:

AKW8111

  • Suited to directly measure 400V power loads in industrial networks
  • 3 phases, 4 wires
  • Display of measured values such as instantaneous power, consumption, voltage and current for each phase, frequency, power factor
  • Simultaneous measurement of power and frequency
  • RS485 interface
  • Supports Modbus (RTU) and MEWTOCOL

AKW8111H (with memory)

  • Includes all the features of AKW8111
  • Built-in memory with the ability to store and analyze data
  • Built-in battery to back up the memory
  • Additional functions:
    o Record energy consumption (month, day, hours)
    o Measure integrated active electrical power for period desired (kWh)
    o Calendar function

Application examples:

  • Power failure monitoring (voltage level monitoring)
  • Phase loss control
  • Prevention of start-up peaks
  • Reduce costs and consumption
  • Alarm issued when maintenance is due made possible by integrated hour meter
  • Measurement of consumption to control costs and determine maintenance schedule
  • Detection of fluctuation in power frequencies
  • Trend recording

Remote applications: Maintenance, error and alarm messages based on the functions mentioned above.
