BFM-II Branch Feeder Monitor 6 channel expansion module Voltage connection (common): 3 or 4 wire self-powered according to revenue meter requirement 18 channel expansion module Modular enclosure SATEC’s BFM-II is the second generation of Branch Feeder The BFM-II supports power quality monitoring to identify Monitor™, providing energy management for multi-point power existing and potential operation problems, such as overloading solutions. Ideal for both new and retrofit projects, the BFM-II or malfunctioning due to voltage or current harmonics, or automatically provides metering, demand and...

18 channels module configurable as 18 singlephase or 6 three-phase Optional cellular modem & 2nd COM port Standard Ethernet port 4 analog inputs (option) 18 digital inputs (option) Wall or DIN rail mounting Optional graphic color touch screen

□ Multi-channel submetering - up to 54 single-phase, 27 two-phase or 18 three-phase meters in a single device. Any combination of single-, two-, and three-phase consumers can be chosen up to a total of 54 current inputs. □ Automatic totalization energy from different consumers □ Modular design allows selection of 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 or 54 submeters □ Supports high accuracy current transformers with Class 0.5S accuracy □ 3-phase/2-phase/single-phase meters (true RMS, volts, amps, power, power factor, neutral current) □ Ampere/Volt demand meter □ Time-of-Use, 8 energy/demand registers x 8...

Accuracy: Solid Core: 0.1% / Split Core: 0.5% The BFM-II should be ordered with dedicated High Accuracy Current Sensors (HACS). All HACS are supplied with 8ft / 2.5m cable. Maximum cable length: 650ft / 200m. All HACS have a built-in automatic protection circuit for maximum safety, eliminating the need to use shorting bars. P/N RATING CORE OPENING * Note: CS05S is compatible with the RS5 version only. All other HACS are compatible with the non-RS5 version.

Large and medium facilities, such as commercial buildings, residential complexes, shopping centers, malls, data centers and universities are facing more and more competitive environment in which tenants are seeking for more services in lower costs. Tenant billing and monitoring is a great solution to increase revenues with a permanent revenue stream to the facility owner while providing better service to tenants. VALUE PROPOSITION Instead of tenants purchasing electricity from the utility, they purchase it from the facility owner (or energy trader), who purchases the electricity from the...

No change in cost. The charges by the facility owner are the same, or lower, than the utilities'. This means tenants can't lose. Bills according to consumption. Compared to facilities that charge based on floor area, monitoring is accurate and exactly reflects the real consumption, without any estimation or crosscharges between tenants. Accuracy. SATEC energy monitors are more accurate than utility meters. The periodic energy balancing ensures correct measurement at all times. Monitoring of energy expenses. Real time energy monitoring allows energy saving, reducing energy costs and...

The BFM-II is ideally designed to upgrade existing substations with electro-mechanical relays to provide real-time information and management lacking in these highly reliable devices. Many Distribution substations include conventional electromechanical protection relays with limited or no remote information. Until recently, upgrading such substations was too costly, and time consuming, which prevented upgrade. The introduction of the revolutionary BFM-II makes it simple and low-cost to upgrade, providing very short Return Of Investment (ROI). Implementing the BFM-II allows, without power...

Data Centers Energy consumption of data centers is constantly rising, The practice of monitoring energy is becoming prevalent and following the increase of computing performance. Monitoring modern data centers now include rack level monitoring at the the PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness—Total Facility Energy design stage. The BFM-II monitors up to 54 single-phase loads divided by the IT Equipment Energy) is essential. According to and is ideal for PDU branch circuit monitoring, allowing for the US DoE (Department of Energy), data centers can achieve energy saving and offering high...
