Understanding where electricity is being consumed is the first step toward managing energy costs, improving operational efficiency, and accurately allocating utility expenses. Whether you are monitoring a single electrical service, tracking individual tenant consumption or measuring dozens of circuits throughout a facility, having the right electric metering system is essential.
NEMeter by Global Power Products offers a comprehensive line of revenue-grade electric submeters and smart energy monitoring solutions designed to provide accurate, reliable, and accessible electrical consumption data.
Manufactured in the U.S., NEMeter products combine advanced metering technology, flexible installation options and multiple communication capabilities to support electrical contractors, engineers, property managers, facility operators and building owners.
With solutions ranging from individual service meters to high-density, multi-circuit monitoring systems, the NEMeter product family provides a scalable approach to electrical energy management.
Not every electrical metering application requires the same equipment. Some projects need a single meter to monitor an electrical service, while others require detailed energy consumption information across multiple tenants, distribution panels, or individual electrical loads.
Global Power Products offers a variety of NEMeter configurations to meet these requirements.
The NEMeter Surface Mount series provides revenue-grade electrical metering for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
Designed for indoor and outdoor installations, these True-RMS electric meters feature rugged NEMA 4X enclosures and support current transformer (CT) ratings ranging from 100A to 5000A.
These meters are ideal for monitoring building electrical services, industrial equipment, commercial properties, and tenant electrical consumption.
For applications where installation space is limited, the NEMeter Mini provides a compact solution for single-phase electrical energy monitoring.
Designed for indoor applications, the Mini is well suited for residential properties, small commercial spaces, and individual electrical loads where a full-size meter may not be necessary.
Its compact design makes it particularly useful for electrical contractors working with existing electrical panels or limited installation space.
NEMeter Socket Meters offer an alternative for applications utilizing standard meter sockets, including compatible 2S and 12S configurations.
These products are particularly useful for apartment buildings, multifamily housing, electrical service upgrades, and retrofit applications where socket-based metering is preferred.
One of the most significant advantages of the NEMeter product family is its ability to monitor multiple electrical circuits using a single metering platform.
Traditionally, monitoring individual electrical loads could require installing a separate meter for each circuit. This approach increases equipment requirements, installation time, wiring complexity, and overall project costs.
The NEMeter 3, 12, 24, and 48 provide a more efficient and scalable alternative.
These advanced meters allow electrical contractors and facility operators to monitor multiple single-phase or three-phase loads without installing individual meters throughout the facility.
The NEMeter 48, for example, can monitor up to 48 single-phase loads or 16 three-phase loads from a single meter.
By consolidating multiple monitoring points into one system, contractors can reduce the amount of hardware required while providing building owners with greater visibility into electrical consumption.
Every electrical installation presents different challenges, particularly when working in existing facilities.
NEMeter systems support multiple current transformer configurations, including solid-core, split-core, hinged, and Rogowski CT options, depending on the meter and application.
This flexibility allows electrical contractors to select the most appropriate solution based on conductor size, available installation space, electrical load, and accessibility.
Split-core and hinged CTs can be especially beneficial for retrofit projects where minimizing disruption to existing electrical installations is important.
Rogowski CT options provide additional flexibility for applications involving larger conductors or challenging installation conditions.
Accuracy is one of the most important considerations when selecting an electrical submetering system, particularly when the information will be used for tenant billing, cost allocation, or energy management.
NEMeter multi-circuit systems offer high-accuracy metering, with configurations supporting ANSI C12.20 Class 0.2 accuracy.
Revenue-grade measurement helps property owners and facility managers obtain dependable electrical consumption data for applications such as:
For commercial property owners, accurate submetering can help establish a more transparent method of allocating electrical expenses based on actual usage rather than estimated consumption or square footage.
For industrial facilities, detailed electrical monitoring can help identify energy-intensive equipment and support decisions about operating schedules, equipment upgrades and energy efficiency investments.
Modern electrical metering systems need to do more than measure electricity. They must make energy consumption data available to the people and systems responsible for managing the facility.
The NEMeter platform offers multiple communication options to accommodate both new construction and existing buildings.
Depending on the model and configuration, available communication technologies include:
BACnet Integration
BACnet connectivity allows compatible NEMeter systems to communicate with building automation systems, making electrical consumption information available alongside other building operating data.
Modbus Communication
Modbus support provides integration with industrial monitoring equipment, building management systems, and other compatible energy management platforms.
Ethernet and RS-485
Wired communication options support local network integration and connections to building automation or energy management systems.
Cellular Connectivity
LTE Cat-M1 cellular communication is available for applications where a conventional network connection may be difficult, expensive, or impractical to install.
Additional configurations offer Wi-Fi and 900 MHz radio frequency communication capabilities.
This flexibility allows NEMeter systems to be incorporated into a wide range of electrical infrastructure without requiring every project to use the same communications architecture.
For building owners and facility managers who need access to electrical consumption data beyond the physical meter, Global Power Products offers the PowerTrack cloud-based energy monitoring platform.
PowerTrack provides remote access to metering information through an online portal and mobile application.
Depending on the system configuration and services selected, PowerTrack capabilities include:
For property managers responsible for multiple buildings, cloud-based monitoring can simplify the process of collecting and reviewing energy usage information without requiring personnel to physically visit each meter.
For commercial and industrial customers, historical energy consumption data can help identify operating trends, compare energy usage over time, and evaluate the effectiveness of energy-saving initiatives.
Multifamily Housing and Tenant Submetering
Apartment buildings, condominiums, and mixed-use properties often require individual electrical consumption monitoring.
NEMeter systems allow property owners to measure tenant energy usage and support billing based on actual consumption.
Multi-circuit meters can be especially beneficial in buildings where several tenant circuits can be monitored from a central electrical distribution location.
Commercial Buildings and Property Management
Office buildings, shopping centers, and commercial properties can use NEMeter systems to monitor tenant spaces, common areas, HVAC equipment, and other significant electrical loads.
This information helps building operators understand where electricity is being consumed and allocate expenses more accurately.
Industrial Facilities and Manufacturing
Manufacturing facilities often operate numerous pieces of equipment with varying electrical demands.
NEMeter systems can monitor individual production lines, machinery, electrical distribution panels, and other critical loads.
This data can support energy management programs, operating cost analysis, and equipment performance evaluations.
Building Automation and Energy Management
For facilities utilizing building automation systems, NEMeter's BACnet and Modbus communication capabilities allow electrical consumption data to be incorporated into broader building monitoring platforms.
This creates opportunities to evaluate electrical usage alongside HVAC operation, building occupancy, and other operating conditions.
Energy-Code and Sustainability Projects
As building owners face increasing requirements to measure and manage energy consumption, electrical submetering is becoming an important component of building modernization projects.
NEMeter systems can provide the measurement infrastructure needed to support applicable energy-code requirements, sustainability initiatives, and energy efficiency programs.
Specific code compliance depends on the meter configuration, installation, and governing requirements.
