The Eaton DC Energy Meter (DEM) measures the current and voltage of DC powered equipment racks using precision Hall Effect current transducers. The DEM samples the supply voltages and currents at regular intervals and along with the sampling period will compute the accumulated energy consumption as an Energy Meter reading in kWh. 8 current input channels, dual (A+B) power feeds and configurable system alarms make the DEM perfectly suited for various applications such as telecommunications, communication building monitoring and 48V DC power system energy measurement.
