Busway End-Feed Monitoring

Solution Overview

Busway end-feed monitoring using Packet Power’s wireless energy monitoring modules is a simple way of augmenting any busway system with modern power monitoring capabilities. It has been deployed worldwide in thousands of units, with multiple systems including Starline, E+I / Vertiv, Siemens, VASS, Anord Mardix and many others. It is fully compatible with Packet Power’s larger energy and environmental monitoring suite. 

Benefits

Packet Power’s wireless energy monitors can be used to monitor entire busway segments through end-feed monitoring. End-feed monitors can either be directly embedded in busway end-feeds, next to busway end-feeds or on the branch circuit feeding the busway. The resulting combination provides the ultimate power distribution infrastructure that combines the flexibility of power distribution provided by the busway and the simplicity and flexibility of Packet Power’s wireless monitoring.

Technical Overview

Packet Power wireless monitoring modules can be integrated into most busway system end-feed boxes. Modules supporting arbitrary circuit combinations are available. The monitoring modules offer the highest circuit density available and can thus be integrated inside most systems. In cases where internal integration is impossible or otherwise not desired, an external “side car” option (see #2 in image above) is also available.

Packet Power wireless monitoring modules can be integrated into both overhead and sub-floor busway systems and have been utilized in data center, industrial and commercial environments.
