PowerCom

  

The Sphere Systems Powercom is an intelligent designed to keep your plant operating within the Maximum Demand limit. It helps reduce your energy costs while keeping your building fully operable. The data logging and energy reports allow you to control how your plant operates. If you have an emergency generator the Powercom will also automatically control the loads connected to this generator. The system is fully autonomous and does not require a PC to be connected to the system to operate.

The Powercom is designed to be connected directly to the smart meter, normally provided by your energy service provider. The Powercom acquires pulses from the smart meter and uses these to calculate the kW, kVA, kVAr and the power factor of the installation. The Powercom has the ability to store 14 days of acquired data. In the event of a power failure to the Powercom, all settings and data-logging will be held in the battery backed memory.
