Smart Power Cable Overview
Service types
Smart Power Cables are power cables with embedded wireless power monitors that transmit
real time power and energy usage data wirelessly to a central Gateway module. The Smart
Power Cable is a monitoring-only device and it cannot disconnect, switch or otherwise
interfere with the electrical current flowing through the cable and is inherently failsafe with a
no risk of interrupting the circuit in the event of failure to the monitoring device. The
monitoring mechanism is powered from the cable itself and consumes less than 0.6W of
power.
The cables are provided in an “S” (single phase) and “R” (three phase and high current
single phase) form. Panel-mounted “P” models (independent power monitors with no cable
assembly) are covered in a separate manual.
The appropriate Smart Power Cable is selected based on the appropriate voltage, current
and connector type shown in the chart below. Smart Power Cables are available in just
about any connector type and are universally operational at 50/60 Hz.
