APPLICATIONS:

Metering for Critical Customers

For customers concerned with electrical costs, put their minds at rest with 0.06% watt/hour accuracy, historical data logging and load profiling for load management.

Load Curtailment/Energy Savings

The Nexus 1260 utilizes fixed, sliding, thermal and predictive demand integration intervals allowing for improved load management. PLC functionality allows for load curtailment applications based on programmable logical configurations.

Generation Plants
  • Multiple Protocol Communications such as Modbus and DNP 3.0
  • 0.06% Accuracy Exceeds Revenue Metering Specifications
  • MV90 Compatibility
  • Pulse Aggregation & Accumulation allowing for Monitoring & Totaling Electrical Usage & Values such as Water and Gas Usage
Substation Monitoring

The Nexus 1260 with its standard features is the ideal substation-metering device measuring every aspect of power and providing real time revenue quantities. This data can be monitored locally or remotely via direct serial communication, onboard modem or via the Internet with built-in 10/100 Base T Ethernet card (Total Web Solutions.)
