Branch Circuits Animated Tour		 The easy installation PowerLogic Branch Current Monitor is ideally suited for data center system reliability applications to provide warnings when breakers are near their trip point.

The PowerLogic Branch Current Monitor (BCM42) is a current sensing device that monitors all poles of a 42-circuit Square D NQOD panelboard within a power distribution unit.

Features:

  • Cost-effective: a single PowerLogic BCM reports on current consumed on up to 42 circuits of a typical dual- or single-row panelboard, such as Square D NQOD series.
  • Easy installation: solid-core CTs are available spaced for 3/4- or 1- centers, split-core CTs are available for quick installation on non-interruptible loads.
  • Simple communications wiring: daisy chain up to 63 PowerLogic BCM or other devices on an RS-485 string for easy networking.
  • Alarm condition monitoring: Two current limit alarms provide early notification of potential overload on the circuit they are monitoring. Can be set to 70% of current sensor maximum (configurable).
