Metering power in data center
I am looking for suggestions on devices that can monitor(A)/meter(kw/h) power usage in a data center. Getting a metered PDU everywhere seems a little expensive and cumbersome. Are there devices you can wire into breaker box to meter each AC circuit? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -Jay
We use products from Veris. If you could be more specific as to what you want to meter (and where, and types / brands of panels), I could point you further.

Hi, For our need, we use : http://www.lem.com/ They have a lot of products to do that. We use a magnetic meter. You don't need to break the circuit to implement it. Regards, Bastien Wallace Keith a écrit :
