Veris Industries H8150 Power & Energy Meter

The Veris Industries H8150 Series Energy Meters are easy to install and provide exceptional system accuracy, making them ideal for all submetering applications. Each meter is factory-matched with one to three split-core CTs. Matching serial numbers assure that the meter and CT were calibrated together. The meter/CT pairs are system-calibrated to provide excellent total system accuracies of 1% from 2% to 100% of the amperage rating of the CTs (e.g., 2-100 amps with 100 amp CTs).

Features:

The ultimate stand-alone energy metering system.

  • High resolution backlit LCD display provides clear readings at a distance...reduces the risk of misinterpretation of the data. Back-lighting can be disabled if desired.

Simple, fast installation

  • Split-core CTs eliminate the need to remove electrical conductors...reduces installation time
  • Energy meters automatically detect and correct phase reversal, eliminating the need to be concerned with CT load orientation
  • CTs and voltage leads are color coded making it easy to determine correct connection

Applications:

  • Commercial tenant submetering
  • Performance contracting
  • Allocating costs
  • Real-time power monitoring via local display or through control/data acquisition systems

Amprobe Instruments INSP-3 Wiring Inspector & Circuit Tester

The Amprobe INSP-3 wiring inspector is a rugged circuit tester designed to test whether a building’s wiring is in compliance with electrical code in seconds, especially voltage drop under load.

Without scrolling or switching screens, you can quickly identify issues with splices, connections and conductor quality, crucial to safety and performance of the electrical system.

The flashing screen on this circuit tester will clearly indicate incorrect wiring or failures and it won’t trip circuit breakers or blow fuses during the test.

Features:

  • Testing efficiency - relevant test data (voltage, voltage drop, hot and neutral voltage drop, voltage with load, ground impedance) is presented on a single large display to save operator time - no scrolling or switching screens needed
  • Verifies if wiring is tested for load carrying ability that it meets electrical code recommendations for voltage drop under load
  • Meter detects faulty wiring in need of repair without removing outlets cover plates, or panel covers:
    • Faulty splices and connections
    • Incorrect wiring
    • Undersized wiring
    • Faulty GFCIs
    • Faulty or incorrectly wired AFCIs
    • Incorrect line voltage
    • Poor ground quality
  • User selectable 0, 10, 15 and 20 amps loads to verify performance of the electrical system
  • Incorrect wiring or voltage drop test failure is clearly indicated by flashing screen
  • Will not trip circuit breakers or blow fuses during the test
  • Tests GFCI and AFCI operations
  • Check ground quality for safety and ability to support sensitive electronic equipment
  • Measure fault currents
  • Save money and time by eliminating guess work
  • NOTE: The INSP-3 does not check the condition of wiring insulation.
