multigroepmeter

A multigroepmeter is a type of electrical measuring instrument designed to simultaneously display readings from multiple distinct electrical circuits or parameters. Typically, these instruments utilize a digital display to show several values at once, providing a consolidated overview of system performance. This can include voltage, current, power, frequency, and power factor for individual circuits, or different phases of a three-phase system.

The primary advantage of a multigroepmeter is its ability to offer a comprehensive and immediate snapshot of a system's electrical status without the need for multiple individual meters. This efficiency is particularly valuable in industrial and commercial settings where monitoring numerous circuits is routine. For example, in a manufacturing plant, a multigroepmeter could track the power consumption of different machines or production lines simultaneously, aiding in energy management and fault detection.

These devices often incorporate features such as data logging, alarm functions for out-of-spec parameters, and communication interfaces for integration with SCADA or building management systems. The design aims to simplify complex monitoring tasks and improve diagnostic capabilities, allowing for quicker identification of issues and optimization of energy usage across various electrical loads.
