ABB India Launches New Range of Smart Meters for Energy Management

Energy management is one of the biggest challenges in business applications and has a huge impact on the cost of operations. Seeking to ensure optimal energy efficiency, ABB India has launched a new series of electrical measuring and power monitoring meters for the digital panel meter market which is growing at a CAGR of 6% for the period between 2017 to 2023 globally.

ABB India offers single, multifunction meters and network analysers, catering to the Panel Meter market across industries such as healthcare, hospitality, infrastructure, F&B, etc.

These smart solutions in metering and energy monitoring are meant to enable users to make better choices to monitor their power consumption. The meters claim to guarantee basic to complete power quality analysis and accurately monitor the energy assets for residential, industrial, and commercial building segments.

The newly introduced M1M11, M1M DS, M1M 20B and M1M 30B cover the main submetering easily and cost-effectively by powering quality monitoring requirements inside power factor correction boards, motor control centres or sub-distribution switchboards of commercial and industrial buildings, claims ABB.

Kiran Dutt, President-Electrification at ABB India said, “The emerging Panel meter market and our introduction of new range of meters offers a huge potential for customers to better manage energy performance across industries. Thanks to their connectivity capabilities, M1M can now leverage on the integration in ABB’s Ability™ Energy and Asset Manager cloud-computing platform to monitor, optimize, and control the complete electrical system”
