Energy use: kWh
Plan energy metering for buildings, departments, tenants or individual equipment. Identify where you need consumption data and how you intend to use it.
Power & energy metering
Electrical submetering.
Options that fit your application.
Track energy use, evaluate an existing meter, or plan a new monitoring system. CT Electrical Sales helps you select Socomec power meters and enclosed submetering solutions around your facility’s needs.
Start with the measurement
What do you need to understand?
Power & demand: kW
Evaluate power and demand measurements for load tracking and operational decisions. Match the meter’s measurements and recording capabilities to your project.
Connected submetering
Bring electrical measurements into a building management or monitoring system. Select the communications, data points and integration approach before ordering.
The installation matters as much as the measurements. We help select the meter, current sensors and supporting components as a coordinated configuration.
DIRIS A-40
A power monitoring device for panel-door mounting with compatible Socomec smart current sensors. Consider this approach when metering is being incorporated into a panel or existing equipment.
Communications depend on the version: options include Modbus RTU, Ethernet Modbus TCP and BACnet IP.
Socomec A-40 specificationsDIRIS DigiBOX A
An enclosed, single-circuit submetering solution with a display. The range uses DIRIS A-40 or A-200 devices; the selected configuration determines the available features.
We evaluate the electrical system, enclosure requirements and compatible current sensors to define the right package for your application.

Send us the exact model and the functions you need to retain. These are starting points for an application review, not a certified equivalency or drop-in replacement chart.
E-Mon D-Mon Class 2000 alternatives
Evaluating an E-Mon Class 2000 submeter? We can review a Socomec DigiBOX A enclosed solution for the application. Include the full part number, system voltage and current rating.
For example, distinguish the E20-480100-JKIT energy-meter version from the E20-480100-J-D-KIT demand version so the required functions are not overlooked.
Schneider iEM3455 alternatives
For an iEM3455 (A9MEM3455) application, we can evaluate a Socomec enclosed metering configuration. Review mounting space, low-voltage CT inputs, Modbus communications, digital I/O and any multi-tariff requirements before selecting an alternative.
Shark meter alternatives
Have a Shark 50, 50B, 100, 100B, 100S or 200S? Share the exact model and installed options. We will review the metering functions, sensor requirements, mounting and communications to identify an appropriate Socomec option.
Janitza UMG 800 alternatives
A UMG 800 comparison starts with the complete installed configuration and what it monitors. Tell us the number of circuits, required measurements and connected systems so we can evaluate a suitable Socomec configuration.
Accuenergy EV300 alternatives
For EV300 Series applications, identify whether you have an EV387 or EV390 and which I/O options are fitted. We can evaluate panel-mounted or enclosed Socomec options; existing 1A/5A CT connections should not be assumed compatible with Socomec smart-sensor inputs.
Need power-quality analysis?
Advanced power-quality monitoring needs a separate specification review. Ask us about Socomec and Powerside options for your required events, waveform recording and analysis capabilities rather than selecting on energy measurements alone.

Selection checklist
Match the system, not just the model name.
Electrical system & sensors
Confirm voltage, wiring arrangement, current range, sensor output and conductor size. Do not assume the existing CTs can be reused.
Measurements & accuracy
Identify energy, demand, tariffs, accuracy and any billing approval requirements. Specify power-quality capabilities separately when needed.
Mounting & environment
Review panel cutout, enclosure type, available space, control power and installation conditions before choosing hardware.
Communications & software
Confirm protocols, required registers, logging and I/O. Sharing a protocol does not automatically make a meter a software-compatible replacement.
From measurement to visibility
Plan the path to MeterSight.
Need dashboards, historical trends, alarms and reporting alongside the meter? We can review your selected device and communications requirements as part of a MeterSight monitoring project.
Integration is evaluated for the specific device and configuration; it is not assumed for every meter listed above.
Explore MeterSight monitoringCommon metering questions.
Is an alternative meter a direct replacement?
Not necessarily. Similar measurement functions do not guarantee matching wiring, mounting, sensors or software. We review those differences before recommending a configuration.
Can I keep my existing current transformers?
That depends on the meter input and the installed sensors. Send the CT nameplate or datasheet with your meter information so compatibility can be evaluated.
Can the meter be used for tenant billing?
Tell us where it will be installed and how billing will be handled. Required accuracy, approvals and the complete measurement system must be checked for that application.
Do I need an energy meter or a power-quality meter?
Energy metering focuses on consumption such as kWh. Power-quality analysis addresses electrical disturbances and related measurements. Define the problem you need to investigate so the selected device has the appropriate capabilities.
Send us your existing meter.
Include the manufacturer, full model number, nameplate photo, system voltage, current rating and what you want to monitor. We’ll help evaluate a suitable configuration for your project.
