Power Management University

This 4-day course focuses on installation and setup of PowerLogic and ION metering. Participants will identify and resolve meter setup issues, CT and PT wiring issues, and meter communication network issues. Participants will examine the capabilities of specific PowerLogic and ION meters and learn how to select the correct meter for different metering points in a facility. Participants will explore the features of PowerLogic communication gateways and practice setup and configuration. The ION Setup Utility will be used to display real-time data tables for the purpose of verifying that meter CTs and PTs are correctly wired to the meters. The ION Setup Utility will also be used to setup logging and event detection for each meter in the system. Participants will also create and manage a basic system in EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert. This course provides an introduction to installing and setting up a metering system utilizing PowerLogic and ION hardware.
