Description:
Raritan’s intelligent Branch Circuit Monitoring (BCM) system allows you to
fully utilize your power infrastructure and manage capacity as your data center
grows and changes. Whether you are retrofitting an existing facility, or planning
for growth or new construction, Raritan’s BCM system can help you reduce
energy costs, track power usage, and prevent downtime. Easily add metering
where it never existed before.
This easy-to-deploy modular system, enables real-time views of electrical
capacity and power usage on branch circuits, and mains, in an electrical
service entrance or a remote power panel. It sends threshold alerts for power
and environmental conditions, thereby helping to prevent downtime. The data
can also support energy efficiency and customer charge-back initiatives. Plus
it integrates with Power IQ® DCIM Monitoring Software, and other building
management system (BMS) and DCIM solutions.
LOWER YOUR TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
• Control up to 70 power meters with a single controller.
• Protocols include TCP/IP, Modbus and SNMP.
• Built-in redundancy; all modules function as long as one meter
remains powered.
• Accessible using Wi-Fi networking access.
• Highest density branch circuit metering -- 96 branch circuits.
• Easy to install, configure, and scale.
• Prevents downtime and improves efficiency of
power infrastructure.
Panel Busway
METERING WHERE IT NEVER EXISTED BEFORE
FEATURES THAT SAVE YOU TIME AND HASSLE
• Upload panel schedule to USB stick for circuit mapping and
configuration setup (can be disabled).
• Mix and match same modules for busway and panelboard
monitoring.
• PDView tablet app for easily viewing large amounts of
information.
• Fully supported as a panelboard in Power IQ DCIM Monitoring
Software.
• Same firmware as Raritan rack PDUs.
HOW IT WORKS
The all new BCM leverages the proven technology of Raritan’s rack PDUs to monitor power upstream from IT
equipment racks. Monitor power at panelboard, floor PDU, remote power panel or overhead busway, in real-time.

UNIQUE MODULAR DESIGN: ADD METERING ONLY WHEN NEEDED
Locking connectors for errorproof and reliable connections.
DESIGNED FOR SIMPLE INSTALLATION AND
CONFIGURATION
• Split core current transformers (CTs) attach to existing branch
circuits and mains.
• The CTs can be installed in either direction; metering system
auto-corrects.
• Several mounting options including: subfloor, wall mount,
IT rack, and DIN rail.
• The wiring harness allows you to install the CTs without
a lot of excess wires.
• Simplified and clean wire installation using multi-conductor
cable fed into panel to attach CTs.
• Auto correct metering adjusts for CT orientation on wires,
prevents mistakes.
• CTs connect to live circuits without downtime or damage to CT.
• Labeled CT wiring to eliminate errors.
• Keyed locking connectors for error proof
and reliable connection.
• Real-time configurator displays current and phase allowing
you to confirm correct installation.
• Quick configuration via USB stick preloaded with panel
schedule.
ADVANCED METERING AND MONITORING
• Power data readily available with Power IQ Software or
other building management systems.
• Data is remotely accessible via web; or locally on a
high-resolution colour display or tablet.
• Provides data center and facilities managers with real-time
and historical views of electrical capacity and power usage.
• Mix and match same modules for busway and panelboard
monitoring.
• Measures kWh with +/- 0.5% billing grade accuracy.
• Collected data can be used to reduce downtime and drive
efficiency initiatives.
