Product Description

The PI 38 is a high-performance industrial power and energy meter designed to monitor, measure, and manage electrical parameters in industrial, commercial, and utility systems. In Kenya, PI 38 meters are widely used in distribution boards, PLC automation systems, energy management setups, and industrial control panels, providing accurate real-time monitoring and energy insights. With modern facilities requiring energy efficiency, reliable power monitoring, and system optimization, the PI 38 offers precise measurements of voltage, current, active and reactive power, energy consumption, frequency, and power factor. By delivering detailed data, the PI 38 helps operators reduce electricity costs, protect equipment, and improve overall system performance. Its robust and compact design makes the PI 38 ideal for industrial plants, commercial buildings, hospitals, data centers, and renewable energy systems across Kenya. What is PI 38? The PI 38 is a multifunction industrial meter that monitors and analyzes electrical parameters in real-time. It is compatible with PLC systems, SCADA platforms, and building management systems (BMS), providing centralized monitoring, accurate data logging, and reporting. By measuring real-time electrical parameters and storing historical data, the PI 38 helps engineers and facility managers track energy consumption, detect anomalies, optimize power usage, and protect connected equipment. In Kenya, it is particularly valuable in industries where reliable and precise electrical monitoring is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions about PI 38

The PI 38 is a multifunction industrial power and energy meter that monitors, measures and manages electrical parameters in real time. It measures voltage, current, active and reactive power, energy consumption, frequency and power factor, giving operators the data needed to track consumption, detect anomalies and protect connected equipment. In Kenya it is commonly fitted in distribution boards, industrial control panels and energy management setups.
The meter supports Modbus RTU and RS485 communication and integrates with PLC systems, SCADA platforms and building management systems. That allows centralised monitoring, accurate data logging and reporting from one point rather than reading each panel individually. Historical data stored by the meter supports energy audits, efficiency planning and system optimisation, while the LED or LCD display gives local visualisation of parameters at the panel.
Cost depends on the quantity required, the display and communication options specified and how the meter is to be integrated with your PLC, SCADA or building management system. Rather than quoting a figure here, share your panel details and the parameters you need to monitor, then request a written quotation so the specification is confirmed against your installation before ordering.
