In modern industrial and commercial facilities, power systems are complex. Most use three-phase electrical distribution because it offers stable and efficient power delivery, especially for heavy machinery and high-demand equipment. To manage these systems effectively, accurate 3 phase power measurement is essential. It helps engineers and facility managers understand energy usage, spot inefficiencies, and maintain system reliability.
SATEC develops advanced metering solutions built for real-world conditions, where precision and adaptability are key. Our 3 phase meters do much more than track energy consumption. They give you deep insight into your system’s performance, allowing for smarter decisions and optimized operations.
The Importance of Measuring Three Phase Power
Three-phase systems are the standard for powering motors, HVAC units, elevators, manufacturing lines, and other mission-critical infrastructure. But this added capacity comes with added complexity. Imbalances between phases, harmonic distortions, or poor power factor can lead to higher energy costs, system instability, or even equipment failure.
That’s why three phase metering is more than a nice-to-have. With it, you can:
- Monitor voltage and current on each phase individually
- Detect load imbalances
- Measure active, reactive, and apparent power with precision
- Identify harmonic issues and poor power quality
- Allocate energy usage by department, tenant, or system
These capabilities go far beyond what single-phase meters can offer.
Built for Complex Environments
Three-phase systems operate under dynamic loads, so not every meter is up to the task. SATEC designs meters specifically for these demanding conditions, offering accuracy, reliability, and 24/7 performance.
For example, the PM180 delivers full power quality analysis with Class A accuracy. It’s ideal for plants and facilities that need detailed diagnostics and compliance with global standards. For smaller or space-limited setups, the PRO Series offers compact, multi-function three-phase monitoring in a panel-mounted design.
Need to monitor multiple circuits or tenants at once? The BFM-II allows for simultaneous three-phase measurement across several feeds. It’s a powerful solution for multi-tenant buildings, data centers, or distribution panels.
Easy Integration and Real Time Access
SATEC’s meters are built for seamless integration. They work with Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, IEC 60870 and IEC 61850 protocols, making it simple to connect with your existing energy or building management systems.
You can view data in real time, set alarms, and generate custom reports that show usage patterns, anomalies, or long-term trends. This transparency helps teams respond quickly to issues—or better yet, catch them before they happen.
More Than Just Numbers
A three phase meter is more than a counter. It’s a window into how your electrical system is performing. With SATEC’s technology, you get more than raw data. You gain insight, foresight, and the ability to manage energy on your terms.
If your facility relies on three-phase power, then precise measurement isn’t just useful—it’s essential.
