PM8243 — Schneider Electric PowerLogic PM8000 Advanced Power Quality Meter
The Schneider Electric PowerLogic PM8000 is an advanced power quality and energy meter combining revenue-grade Class 0.2S energy measurement with the most comprehensive power quality monitoring capability available in a panel-mount instrument, covering the full IEC 61000-4 series power quality measurement requirements in a single instrument without external signal conditioning. The PM8000 measures voltage and current harmonics to the 63rd order, inter-harmonics, sub-harmonics, flicker (Pst, Plt, Pinst), voltage unbalance, frequency variation, rapid voltage changes (RVC), and transient voltage events — providing a complete picture of network power quality that identifies both the impact of equipment on the supply and the impact of supply quality on equipment.
The PM8000's waveform capture capability records voltage and current waveforms at up to 256 samples per cycle continuously, storing triggered event captures in internal memory for post-event analysis — enabling root cause investigation of equipment malfunctions, process trips, and production quality incidents that are caused by power supply disturbances. The meter's IEC 61850 communication capability enables direct integration into substation automation systems, while the optional power quality cellular modem card supports remote access to power quality data at unstaffed locations including remote pump stations and solar farm grid connection points. Class 0.2S energy measurement satisfies the highest tier of utility billing accuracy requirements.
In Saudi Arabia, the PM8000 KSA addresses the growing need for power quality monitoring at both utility substation and industrial facility level. SEC's distribution network management requires power quality monitoring at customer connection points to identify harmonic injection and manage voltage flicker complaints under the Saudi grid code. ARAMCO's facility management programmes specify PM8000 for critical equipment power supply monitoring where PQ events are the suspected root cause of process instrumentation malfunctions. NEOM's smart grid infrastructure uses PM8000 as the primary power quality monitoring instrument at all distribution substations.
Razz Middle East supplies PM8000 meters with full EcoStruxure PME integration configuration, IEC 61850 object mapping, and PQ monitoring programme setup for utility and industrial power quality monitoring projects across Saudi Arabia.

Key Features & Benefits
- Class 0.2S energy measurement accuracy — the highest utility billing grade — satisfies Saudi grid code metering requirements for IPP export settlement and large industrial customer billing reconciliation.
- IEC 61000-4-30 Class A power quality compliance covers the full measurement requirement set for connection point power quality assessment under SEC's network code, eliminating additional instrumentation.
- Waveform capture at 256 samples per cycle with event-triggered storage enables post-event root cause analysis of process trips and equipment malfunctions caused by power supply disturbances.
- Inter-harmonic measurement identifies non-integer frequency components from cycloconverters, arc furnaces, and wind turbine generators that standard harmonic meters do not detect, providing complete PQ characterisation.
- IEC 61850 communication enables direct integration into substation automation systems at SEC distribution substations and industrial plant protection panels without a Modbus-IEC 61850 protocol converter.
- Optional cellular modem card provides remote access to power quality data at unstaffed locations including remote pump stations, wind farms, and solar grid connection points across Saudi Arabia's dispersed infrastructure.
- EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert integration with automatic PQ trend report generation provides facility managers and SEC network operators with scheduled PQ compliance reports without manual data export.
