Measure power right at the bus bar.
From utility feed to rack PDU, billing-grade.
Power metering from utility feeds through distribution panels to rack-level PDUs: granular visibility for capacity planning and energy efficiency.

Bus-bar level visibility
Visibility for the DC plant in your datacentre.
Most monitoring stops at the breaker. The PCT-EH05DPD0174 DC Bus Bar Online Meter measures right at the 48 V distribution bar: accurate enough for billing, simple enough for retrofit, open enough to integrate anywhere.
Right at the bus bar
Direct 75 mV shunt-resistor connection at the distribution panel, with no inline transducers, no current transformers and no power interruption to install.

- 75 mV shunt
- 16-bit ADC
Speaks every tool
SNMP v1 / v2c / v3 and SNMP Trap out of the box, feeding ProDCIM, Schneider, Emerson, Nlyte, Nagios, PRTG, Solarwinds and many more.

DIN-rail, web-configured
Standard DIN-rail mount, built-in web server, factory-trimmed ADC. Powered from the same 12–48 VDC plant it monitors.

One source of truth
Six counters that never add up, or one bus-bar reading.
Without a meter at the bus bar, ops teams chase per-rectifier counters that never reconcile. One meter per bar produces the truth, and ProDCIM correlates it with the rest of the plant.

Capabilities
Six things the PowerMon DC does that bolt-on meters don't.
Each item comes straight from the device datasheet.
0–60 VDC voltage sensing
Direct measurement across V+/V- covers every 48 VDC plant, including charged states and rectifier overshoot to 60 V.
16-bit ADC accuracy
Factory-trimmed 16-bit ADC, 0.1 V voltage resolution, settlement-grade for billing.
Shunt-based current
Standard 75 mV shunt input (max 100 mV), from 50 A panel runs to 1000 A backbone bus bars.
10/100 Mbps Ethernet
Internally-bridged LAN: daisy-chain meters along a rack row up to 100 m without an extra switch.
Built-in web server
Configure, read live values and set alarm thresholds from the browser, with no separate tool or agent.
Industrial-grade environment
-10 °C to +70 °C operation, 95 %RH non-condensing. Designed for unconditioned plant rooms and remote shelters.

Installation
From rack-arrival to live energy data in under 30 minutes.
A field tech with a DIN-rail clip, two wires and a laptop is all you need. No power interruption, no vendor commissioning visit.
1. Clip on
DIN-rail mount inside the distribution panel; wire Shunt±, Voltage± and VSupply± from the 48 V plant via a 2 A fast fuse.
2. Configure
Browse to the default IP, set network and SNMP community, define alarm thresholds, about 10 minutes per meter.
3. Poll
ProDCIM or your existing NMS polls voltage, current, power and energy at your chosen cadence, sub-second to 15 min.
4. Alert
Out-of-band SNMP Traps surface low-voltage, high-current, overload and offline events to your NOC.
