Welcome to the July/August 2008 edition of the Square D PowerLogic Wire, an e-newsletter from Schneider Electric offering helpful news and tips about the latest in power and energy monitoring applications and systems.

Square D Plant Case Study
Focused primarily on its Square D manufacturing facilities in the North American Operating Division, Schneider Electric used its own solutions within 21 of its facilities spread across the United States, Mexico and Canada. The program set out with an ambitious goal of reducing energy consumption per employee by 10 percent from 2004 to 2008.

Raging Wire Case Study

Another important aspect of Raging Wire’s system is its well developed, integrated Square D PowerLogic monitoring software system that uses both position and analog metering to display the status, capacity and access capacity of all equipment that is involved in critical power delivery. "Our rule here is that if it has critical power going through it, we want to not only monitor the position of the circuit breaker or other device that it is going through, but we want to monitor the power that goes through it as well," says Linkhart. "We use that for both capacity measurement and prediction as well as to determine what the status of the system is at any given time."
