chneider Electric, the global specialist
in energy management and
automation, has launched the world’s
most advanced, most accurate power quality
meter, the PowerLogic ION9000 series.
With rapid advancements in IoT, event
analytics and accuracy, this newest addition
to Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Power
portfolio provides the most complete, most
innovative power quality meter for critical
power applications.
“The ION9000 redefines the standard
for accuracy, resolving power quality
issues faster with patented disturbance
tracking technology and it provides unique
modularity designed to adapt to your
changing energy needs, now and far into the
future,” said Preshlen Chetty, Offer Manager:
Power Solutions at Schneider Electric.
The latest generation of advanced power
quality meters to build on the legendary
success of the ION7650, PowerLogic
ION9000 offers the industry’s most advanced
capabilities with five core innovations:
• High-quality performance, with third-
party certified Class 0.1S accuracy to
unlock significant new possibilities for
energy savings, ensuring the meter
complies with the highest performance
for revenue grade applications
• Cybersecurity ready, designed to align with
comprehensive grid cybersecurity policies,
helping to eliminate vulnerabilities to
critical power assets and systems
• Onboard power quality analysis provides
useful information, not just data, doing
so via its onboard PQ tool, according to
EN50160 and IEEE519 standards. The
ION9000 also has extended waveform
capture and patented disturbance
direction detection (DDD)
• Smart power event analysis automatically
correlates related trends, events and
waveforms based on time and type of
incident, saving time and providing vital
insight with pre and post-incident data
• Patented ION programmability allows
users to adapt as their power networks
become more dynamic, tailoring
programming to accommodate complex
electrical distribution monitoring or custom
substation automation – protecting their
investment into the future
“The ION9000 is truly the power quality
meter of the future,” added Chetty. “It
provides the future-proof adaptability that
modern power networks need, and it is
highly customisable, setting a new industry
benchmark for accuracy. It also has a
complete power quality analysis tool right out
of the box, so it can immediately identify and
help solve power system events.”
The ION9000’s power management
software provides quick views of energy
consumption, power quality and power
network status, and all in real time. It has
proven itself a critical tool for preventive
maintenance and root cause analysis in
power outages, helping keep people and
equipment safe.
“A ground-breaking high-performance power
quality meter, the ION9000 is the result of
decades of industry experience,” said Chetty.
“And combined with EcoStruxure Power edge
control software, it helps reveal every power
network risk and opportunity. Knowing
exactly what happened during an incident
is vital for re-establishing normal operations,
while also avoiding future issues before they
become problems.
“ION9000 is a significant addition to
Schneider Electric’s industry-leading
connected products offers, providing a
valued new platform within a connected and
integrated power distribution network.” n
