Why monitor your power system?
Examining and changing the way you use power will save money — sometimes a lot of money.
Savings can be found in the form of direct utility expenses, equipment, maintenance, and
downtime reduction.

Metering your equipment to collect data is a critical first step to achieve these savings. However,
without a software tool to help interpret the information, your overall savings potential is limited.

PowerLogic® System Manager™ Software

PowerLogic® System Manager™ software gives you the power to harness mountains of data
collected from your system. Our easy to use, intuitive interface provides access to reports that are
targeted for virtually any level of your operation:

MANAGEMENT
PowerLogic® systems give management access to high-level information so effective
decisions can be made concerning utility cost allocation, capital equipment purchases, and
building improvements.

FACILITY OPERATIONS
Operations personnel can keep systems running before problems occur, using graphical
data and early alarm notifications from PowerLogic systems.

ENGINEERING
Engineering needs detailed electrical and mechanical information to properly manage
electrical and mechanical systems. PowerLogic systems delivers that information to assure
stability, make design decisions, and conduct capacity planning studies.

Icebergs.
Typically, we think of them as huge peaks rising above the water. In reality, the majority
of an iceberg is actually under the water, out of view. Utility savings at most facilities
can be thought of in much the same way.

Think of your utility bills as being the peak, easy to see every month. By simply
installing a PowerLogic® power monitoring system, you can realize a 2-4% savings—
but that’s just the “tip of the iceberg” in terms of your potential savings.

The majority of savings, using a POWERLOGIC system, can be derived by looking

beyond a utility bill—or below the surface. An additional 2-5% can be saved through
better equipment utilization and avoiding unnecessary capital purchases. Another
10% can be found by improving power system reliability.

PowerLogic systems give you the power to achieve this kind of savings, resulting in a
quick return on your investment. At Schneider Electric, we pride ourselves on reliable
Square D® products, innovative systems, expert engineering services, and our ability
to provide single-source power management solutions. It’s not just a concept to us, it’s
a legacy and a promise — for companies that seek an edge in productivity.

That’s why leaders turn to Schneider Electric.

 Reduce Energy Costs
PowerLogic systems deliver utility usage
information, enabling you to base purchasing
decisions on actual load profiles, negotiate
better utility rates, and avoid unnecessary peak
demands and penalties.

Power demand trends at most facilities typically dip

sharply over the weekend. However, this screen cap
illustrates the opposite. Using this information, facility
personnel realized that HVAC equipment was malfunc-
tioning and took steps to correct the problem.

Automatically collect WAGES

cost information
PowerLogic® systems help you monitor, collect
and understand usage patterns and cost for
all electrical and piped utilities. By accepting
compensated pulse inputs at the meter input
block from other utility meters, the PowerLogic®
system can track water, air, gas, electric, steam
(WAGES) values, display the information in the
correct units, trend the usage patterns, and
provide standard reports. Having all utility data in a single system and being able
to correlate electrical and mechanical parameters, not
only helps for cost allocations, but also provides insight
when optimizing facility systems.

Know where energy is being used

PowerLogic® System Manager™ software can
automatically retrieve and store useful energy
information using distributed data logging and
onboard memory from metering devices.
On demand, you can intuitively access this
information over the web using our scheduled
reports. Using our cost allocation reports and
usage trends, you can verify utility billing
accuracy, distribute bills internally by
department, make effective fact-based energy Distribute cost by shift, department, product, or cost
decisions and drive accountability in every level center, and drive accountability to every level of your

Improve Reliability & Uptime
Power Quality can Impact Your Bottom Line
PowerLogic systems provide information on harmonic and transient conditions that can cause equipment damage. Left
undetected, it can lead to expensive downtime and lost productivity — which ultimately means reduced profitability.
Problems on the utility supply side, and within a facility, can be identified by a power monitoring system.

Act quickly and confidently

The PowerLogic system can help you troubleshoot fault diagnostics
by providing you real time status information

Proactively reduct downtime

The PowerLogic system can be used to identify correctable events,
such as:
• Preventing variable speed drive damage by verifying that THD
is not higher on one phase
• Detecting blown PF capacitor fuse
• Discovering oscillatory transients, due to capacitor switching on utility
supply side, that cause mysterious tripping of variable speed drives
• Monitoring status and waveforms for improper motor starting operation Uniquely, PowerLogic® CM4000 series circuit monitors,
