Energy Metering for Factories

Sub-Meter Everything. Cut the Bill. Catch Failures Early.

Class 0.5S 3-phase energy meters and condition-monitoring hardware for Indian factories — designed to survive hot switchboards, 11 kV incomers, and 2 AM production shifts. Sub-meter every major feeder, satisfy BEE PAT and ISO 50001, and catch motor failures before unplanned downtime.

Why factories sub-meter everything

Four reasons granular metering pays for itself in 6–12 months on most Indian factory floors.

Sub-Meter Every Major Load

Bill reconciliation is the start, not the end. Real savings come from metering compressors, HVAC, chillers, and production lines individually — so you can see which line is drifting, which motor is ageing, and where the waste is.

BEE PAT & ISO 50001 Ready

Class 0.5S accuracy with time-stamped logging satisfies BEE Perform-Achieve-Trade (PAT) requirements and ISO 50001 EnMS audits. Report from data, not spreadsheets.

Condition Monitoring on DIN Rail

Add vibration and temperature sensing to critical motors. Titan Asset catches bearing wear and winding degradation months before failure — no separate PDM hardware needed.

Power Factor & Demand Savings

Harmonic analysis to the 31st order plus max-demand registers. Identify PF penalties, oversized transformers, and demand-contract over-runs before the DISCOM bill arrives.

The full factory stack

From HT incomer to critical motor — the meters and monitors most Indian factories deploy.

Main Incomer — Bill Reconciliation

One Titan Class 0.5S meter on the HT/LT incomer. Cross-checks the DISCOM bill, logs power-factor trends, tracks max demand against contracted KVA.

Feeder-Level Sub-Metering

Titan meters on compressor, chiller, HVAC, lighting, production-line, and DG feeders. Typical 8–20 meters per factory — size with our Energy Meter Sizing tool.

Condition Monitoring on Critical Assets

Titan Asset on pumps, compressors, and drive motors. Inrush capture + vibration FFT + temperature flags degradation early.

Fire Pump Compliance

Titan Compliance on fire-pump feeders. Auto-log NFPA 25 / IS 2190 weekly and monthly tests, catch missed tests, flag system leaks via pressure-pump cycling.

From audit to continuous monitoring

Most factories start with a one-time audit — a portable logger on each major feeder for 7–14 days, followed by a report of the top energy-loss patterns. That works, but it's a snapshot. The real savings come from continuous sub-metering, because most factory inefficiency is intermittent: a compressor that cycles badly on humid days, a chiller that drifts after every maintenance cycle, a lighting circuit that stays on because nobody remembered to reset the timer.

Our typical engagement: Titan Audit for the initial clamp-on survey (zero downtime, results in 2 weeks), then permanent Titan meters on the top 10–20 feeders for ongoing tracking. Data flows to our Energy Intelligence Platform or to your existing SCADA/BMS via Modbus TCP.

For factories with fire-suppression systems, the same stack covers compliance — Titan Compliance monitors the pump automatically, logs every test, and flags missed schedules before the fire inspector does.

Frequently asked questions

Six questions factory plant engineers and energy managers ask before specifying meters.

For a typical Indian factory, a Class 0.5S 3-phase DIN rail meter with WiFi / Ethernet / RS485 is the right default. Class 0.5S (IEC 62053-22) gives you the accuracy required for revenue-grade sub-metering; multiple comms mean you can use MQTT to a cloud platform and Modbus RTU to a legacy BMS at the same time. Titan from Tech OVN is built for exactly this use case — 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 A CT options cover main incomer to small feeders.
Start with 10–20 meters for a small-to-mid factory: one on the HT/LT main incomer, one on each of the top 8–15 feeders by consumption (compressor, HVAC plant, chiller plant, production lines, lighting, DG). Over-metering is rarely a mistake — granular data is what drives savings. Our Energy Meter Sizing calculator gives a tailored BOQ based on your single-line diagram.
Yes. BEE PAT (Perform, Achieve, Trade) requires designated consumers to report Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) against a baseline. Section-wise sub-metering with Class 0.5S accuracy gives you audit-grade SEC data — essential for the annual PAT filing and for producing verifiable ESCerts. The same data works for ISO 50001 Energy Management System audits.
Three-step: (1) Install sub-meters on all major feeders so you can see who is consuming what. (2) Identify the top 3 consumers and run a targeted energy audit on each — use Titan Audit for zero-downtime clamp-on audits. (3) Implement the top-5 recommendations — typically power-factor correction, compressor right-sizing, chiller optimisation, LED retrofit, and load-shifting to off-peak. Most factories see 8–15% reduction in the first 12 months.
Yes. All Titan meters publish to MQTT, OPC-UA, or Modbus TCP — so a single dashboard can show real-time consumption for 50+ meters across your plant. Our Energy Intelligence Platform provides this out of the box (factory-wide heat-maps, benchmarking, alerts); or you can stream to your existing SCADA / BMS / BI tool. All open protocols, no vendor lock-in.
Yes — turnkey. We survey the site, review the single-line diagram, size CTs for each feeder (100 / 200 / 400 / 800 A options), install and commission the meters, integrate with your BMS or our platform, and hand over a commissioning report. Typical factory deployment: 2–4 weeks from PO to live dashboard.
