Socomec WattNode: Simple, Accurate Power Monitoring for Electrical Systems
- By Emily Hagel
Understanding how much power an electrical system is using is an important part of managing energy, troubleshooting equipment, and making informed decisions about electrical infrastructure. The Socomec WattNode provides a compact way to monitor electrical consumption and key power measurements across a wide range of applications.
Monitor 1- to 3-Phase Systems
The WattNode Wide Range is designed to monitor single-phase and three-phase electrical systems, making it a flexible option for many commercial and industrial applications. It supports voltage ranges from 100 to 600 VAC and can be used with both wye and delta systems.
Whether monitoring an individual piece of equipment, a feeder, or a larger electrical load, the WattNode provides the information needed to better understand how a system is operating.
Revenue-Grade Accuracy
For applications where accurate energy measurement matters, the WattNode offers revenue-grade accuracy. This makes it well suited for applications such as submetering, energy management, cost allocation, and monitoring energy consumption over time.
Accurate measurements can help facility and maintenance teams identify energy usage patterns, compare loads, and make better decisions about electrical equipment and facility operations.
More Than Just Energy Consumption
The WattNode provides 50+ electrical measurements through Modbus RTU communication, giving users much more information than a basic kWh meter.
Depending on the configuration, measurements can provide insight into parameters such as:
- Voltage
Current
Frequency
Real, reactive, and apparent power
Power factor
Energy consumption
Energy production
Other electrical system measurements
Having access to multiple measurements from one compact device can provide a more complete picture of electrical system performance.
Where Can the WattNode Be Used?
The WattNode can be used in a variety of applications where reliable electrical measurement is needed, including:
Energy management and monitoring
Building automation
Submetering
Equipment and load monitoring
Renewable energy applications
Demand response
Electrical system troubleshooting
Its compact design and low-voltage mV current sensor compatibility also make installation practical in applications where space and accessibility are concerns.
Get Better Visibility Into Your Electrical System
Accurate power monitoring doesn’t have to mean a complicated monitoring system. The Socomec WattNode provides a flexible solution for measuring electrical consumption and performance across 1- and 3-phase systems, while offering the accuracy and data needed for energy management and submetering applications.
