Siemens SICAM MMU Power Meter Device

SICAM MMU Power Meter Device (Measurement and Monitoring Unit) is a power monitoring device that allows the measuring of electrical quantities in electrical networks in a single unit. In industries, power plants and substations, the SICAM MMU is applied to measure and calculate parameters (e.g.current, voltage, power, phase angle, harmonics and unbalance, energy or frequency) and assign them into further processing and visualization to control center (SCADA, DMS, EMS etc) through IEC 60870-5-104 or automation system over MODBUS TCP Protocols.

Many electronic devices and automation systems in industrial production plants are sensitive to voltage variations and dips in the power supply that are often caused by the unexpected connection of energy sources, such as renewable energy and large energy consumers. The production systems themselves can also cause faults and feed them back into the distribution system. The risk? Plant shutdowns and production loss. The answer? Power quality. Power quality needs to be continuously measured and analyzed so that unexpected risks can be detected early on. Explore the power quality and measurement products with us. Click here!
