Retrofitting or expanding an existing facility? Planning to build a brand new one? With Raritan's branch circuit monitoring system you’ll be able to gain accurate insight into capacity, energy use, and power reliability, ultimately reducing energy costs.
Most branch circuit monitoring (BCM) systems are expensive; hard to install, configure and use. The Raritan BCM is a modular system designed to leverage a facility's existing power infrastructure, allowing you to manage electrical capacity through more intelligent resource allocation, gaining actionable data and insights.
With the Raritan BCM, integrate intelligent power metering into any branch circuit or main floor PDU, remote power panel (RPP), panelboard, or IT busway without interrupting power. Measure kWh with ISO/IEC 1% billing-grade accuracy, ensuring precise energy efficiency, sustainability, and customer chargeback reporting.
The easy-to-install modular system is available as either a branch circuit or a busway monitor kit. The system’s PMC controller can monitor up to 70 power meter modules (PMM) in a busway implementation. In a branch circuit monitor configuration, a PMC controller can monitor up to 8 circuit breaker panels, with 96 branch circuits on each panel.
Auto-correcting split core CTs easily snap around live circuits in either direction without interrupting power to equipment racks.
The Raritan BCM system simplifies configuration by allowing users to upload the panel schedule via USB, which helps prevent manual input errors. It seamlessly integrates with DCIM monitoring and BMS software to consolidate facility power and environmental data.
The Raritan BCM utilizes the same power, metering, and control technology found in Raritan Rack PDUs. It measures kWh with ISO/IEC 1% billing-grade accuracy, ensuring precise energy efficiency, sustainability, and customer chargeback reporting.
Already monitoring equipment racks with intelligent PDUs? Track power in the remaining 20% of infrastructure that isn’t being metered.
Sometimes floor PDUs and RPPs are sold without metering capabilities. Add metering quickly with our BCM kit.
Mix and match the same modules for the busway and panelboard. Monitor mains, branches, or both.
All BCM modules continue to function as long as one meter remains powered, ensuring continuous metering.
One BCM controller supports up to 70 power meters. It’s the highest density in the industry, supporting up to 96 branch circuits.
BCM kits come with labeled CT wiring harnesses with keyed connectors. A real-time configurator displays current and phase readings allowing you to confirm the correct installation.
We offer simpler wiring by using multi-conductor cables. Twelve CTs per cable, length options of up to 10m, and optional plenum-rated cable.
Mount components under a subfloor, on a wall, in an IT rack, or on a DIN rail are available.
Continuously collects data on A, V, kW, kVA, and power factor. Data can be shared with a BMS or DCIM system for more accurate capacity planning.
