Welcome to the inaugural edition of the PowerLogic Wire, a monthly enewsletter from Square D Company.
The new PowerLogic Wire offers previous Power Measurement ION Wire and
Square D PM Insider subscribers helpful news and tips about the latest in
power and energy monitoring applications and systems.
The combination of Power Measurement's ION brand and PowerLogic, in
conjunction with our proven Sepam Protection relays enables us to offer you
the most comprehensive solutions, spanning the utility's grid to the end user's
circuit breakers. We are seizing opportunities to deliver a greater selection of
products and services designed to help you improve efficiency and manage
costs. Fully integrated services that currently capitalize on the strengths of
both organizations include Engineering Services, Technical Support and
Training.
Although they are currently stand-alone systems, we are making excellent
progress toward our goal of combining the advanced capabilities of webenabled ION and PowerLogic products into a single integrated power
management solution. We'll be unveiling many of these exciting new
developments in future issues of the PowerLogic Wire, but in the meantime,
feel free to visit our integration page to check on our progress and offer your
feedback.

PowerLogic ION Enterprise Energy Management Software
EEM. You may have heard this buzzword being bantered about by a CEO or

energy czar or have read it in a trade journal, but you may not be aware what
SMS System Users
it means and how it could benefit your company.
EEM

everyday business processes. EEM solutions, specifically PowerLogic ION EEM
Events
Training
web-based solutions, provide intuitive executive digital dashboards tailored for
your company's Finance, Executive Management, and Operations groups to
proactively reduce energy-related business risks and control energy costs. ION
EEM takes advantage of the electrical and piped utility consumption patterns
by seamlessly extracting power monitoring systems data and turning it into an
interface to measure your business key performance indicators (KPIs).
By leveraging power monitoring systems owned and supported by the
operations and engineering personnel, executives get precise accurate facts to
make smart business decisions with minimal coordination and bureaucracy.
With PowerLogic ION EEM, you can unite energy and power management with
business strategy -- from energy procurement, budgeting and benchmarking
and cost allocation to operational cost reduction and power reliability
optimization.
The ION EEM automatically extracts historical data from multiple data sources
-- from new or legacy meters, weather service feeds, real-time pricing, and
other sources -- locally or from geographically dispersed locations then
aggregates the information into a simple baselining and benchmarking
interface. Engineering continues to use the power system management tool to
keep the industrial plant and commercial properties functioning throughout the
organization. Executive Management has the necessary information to make
effective decisions and perform energy cost and efficiency analysis. With
PowerLogic ION EEM, we can tightly integrate components to provide a
customized energy solution to meet your needs -- often faster, with a less
expensive deployment than conventional enterprise software solutions. Contact
your local SquareD/Schneider Electric representative to learn more about EEM.

Current Transformer Reclassification - Published White Paper[PE1]
Electricity Today magazine recently published a white paper co-authored by
Schneider Electric staff that discusses a new methodology of performing live,
dynamic characterization and reclassification of existing relay-class CTs.
Current Transformer Reclassification, or CTR, helps meet regulations that
require utilities to meter previously un-metered locations on the power network
with highly accurate revenue metering equipment. Offered as a service, this
innovative technology can save utilities millions of dollars by avoiding hardware
upgrades and replacements.
