Measurement Below the Supply Meter

A supply meter reports the site total, and everything under it is inference. Circuit-level hardware turns that inference into measurement.

Circuit-Level Current Measurement

Split-core current transformers clamp around existing conductors and report current per circuit without the conductor being broken. The CT303 is rated at 300 A per CT across three clamps, the CT305 at 500 A and the CT310 at 1000 A, which covers distribution board feeders through to main incomers and busbars. All three are self-powered from the circuit they measure, so there is no battery to change, and readings arrive continuously rather than at a meter reading.

Pulse Counting from Existing Meters

Where an electricity meter is already fitted and exposes a pulse output, the EM300-DI pulse counter reads it directly. Nothing is replaced and nothing is recalibrated. The existing meter keeps its billing role while the pulse counter turns the same register into a continuous series the site can act on. Water and gas meters with pulse outputs sit on the smart metering side of the portfolio.

Appliance-Level Metering

Some loads sit past the last distribution board, where no meter exists and no CT will fit. The WS501, WS502 and WS503 metering wall switches measure at the point of use, as does the WS513 smart wall socket, rated at 16 A. The WS558 light controller switches eight circuits, and its LN version meters the lighting load across a zone from one device.

Site-Wide LoRaWAN Backhaul

One LoRaWAN gateway typically covers a building, reaching sensors in plant rooms, basements, roof plant and outbuildings from a single position where connectivity already exists. That removes the cable run or the cellular subscription a wired measurement point would otherwise need. How many gateways a multi-building site takes, and where they sit, is a scoping question rather than a fixed number.

Protocol Handoff to Existing Platforms

The EG71 gateway carries RS485, KNX, LoRaWAN and optional LTE, so field-level sensors and a building management system can hand off through one device. The F-G100 and FGI100 edge gateways process at the point of collection. Readings pass into whichever platform the organisation already runs, so integration with existing systems does not mean replacing them.

Switchroom Environmental Sensing

Heat shortens the life of energy assets, which is why switchroom conditions belong in the same data set as consumption. EM300-TH and EM320-TH temperature and humidity sensors cover switchrooms and transformer rooms on the same LoRaWAN network as the metering, so conditions and consumption arrive together rather than in two separate systems.

Industrial Energy Monitoring Applications by Sector

Load profiles differ by sector, and so does the building a network has to cover. A pharmaceutical plant carries a steady process load inside a steel-framed hall; a school estate carries a sharply timetabled load spread across separate buildings. The measurement and connectivity requirements change accordingly.

Manufacturing Plants

Current transformers on process lines, compressed air plant and extraction, with readings tied to production periods rather than calendar months. Energy consumption per line is what turns an overall figure into an engineering question, because a compressor that runs unloaded overnight looks identical to a productive one on a single site meter.

Food Processing Sites

Refrigeration and cold storage carry most of the load and run continuously, which makes drift hard to see. Circuit measurement on each pack and chiller separates a plant working harder from a plant simply working longer. In the store itself the EM320-TH carries a food-grade IP67 enclosure and EN 12830 certification, so cold-chain conditions come off the same network as the consumption data.

Commercial Buildings

HVAC plant, lighting and landlord areas measured separately from tenant supplies. Metering wall switches and sockets reach loads past the last distribution board, and LoRaWAN reaches the risers and roof plant rooms where no structured cabling was ever installed.

Education Estates

Schools and university buildings run sharply defined occupancy patterns, so out-of-hours consumption is unusually visible once it is measured. Circuit-level data across teaching blocks and catering shows which buildings hold their pattern during holidays and which do not.

Data Centres

Measurement in server rooms and comms rooms at distribution level, with environmental sensing on the same network. Where a room sits inside a larger building, current transformers on its own feeds give the facility a defensible figure for its consumption rather than an allocation from the site total.

Water Treatment Sites

Pumping stations and treatment assets sit away from any fixed network, and pumping is the dominant load. Cellular routers backhaul from remote positions, and LoRaWAN covers dispersed measurement points within a site without new cabling to each one.

Distributed Retail Estates

Identical formats across many locations are a strong case for benchmarking, because a like-for-like figure per site only exists once every site is instrumented the same way. Multi-site estates get one hardware specification and one data set. Hospitality venues run the same profile, with kitchen and refrigeration loads dominating.

Solar Generation Sites

Measurement at the generation connection and at the battery storage connection, with cellular or LoRaWAN backhaul from sites with no fixed line. EasyNet Technologies supplies the measurement and connectivity layer here, not inverters or string monitoring hardware, so the inverter stays the integration point and the metering sits alongside it.

Where Supply-Meter Data Runs Out

Industrial energy management rarely fails on intent. The target is set and the reporting deadline is known. Most engineering teams can name three things they would change tomorrow, and what is missing is the measurement that would prove which of the three is worth doing.

Each gap below follows directly from running a site on supply-meter data alone. Numbers four and five are where an energy project usually stops, well before any hardware gets chosen.

One meter cannot tell you where the energy went

A single incoming supply gives a total. Everything below it is apportioned by floor area, or by the nameplate rating on a plate nobody has read since commissioning.

Half-hourly data from the supplier arrives too late to act on

Half-hourly data is the granularity UK settlement works in, and the smart meter behind it reports to the supplier. By the time the file is available, the shift that caused the peak has gone home.

Overnight baseload goes unquantified

Overnight consumption on a site that produces nothing overnight is often the cheapest thing to address and the least likely to be measured, because the only figure anyone sees already has the daytime load mixed into it.

Circuit measurement is assumed to need a shutdown

Projects stall on the assumption that instrumenting a circuit means taking it out of service. Split-core current transformers clamp around a conductor that stays live and stays connected.

The switchroom has no network connection

Meters end up in basements, plant rooms and outbuildings with no data cable and no usable mobile signal. Specify a network drop at every measurement point and the first switchroom breaks the specification.

Sites cannot be compared on like-for-like figures

Multi-site estates measure different things at different intervals, so benchmarking one site against another compares methods rather than performance. Consistent hardware across the estate is what makes the comparison mean anything.

Compliance reporting gets assembled from invoices

SECR disclosures and ESOS assessments end up reconstructed from supplier bills at the deadline, because measured data at the level the report describes was never collected.

Seven gaps, one missing input: measurement at circuit level.

How an Industrial Energy Monitoring Deployment Comes Together

An energy deployment settles four things in order: where to measure, how the readings get out of the building, where they land, and what the record is then used for.

Measure

Split-core current transformers go around existing conductors at the distribution boards and incomers that matter, sized to the load from board-level feeders up to a 1000 A incomer. Where a meter already exists and offers a pulse output, an EM300-DI pulse counter reads it instead. Where the load sits past the last board, a metering wall switch or socket measures at the point of use.

The useful count is usually the incomer, the largest loads, and anything the site suspects but cannot prove. That specification is worked through remotely with the engineering team before hardware is ordered, because the number of measurement points drives the cost of a project more than any single device does.

Sensors report over LoRaWAN, which carries small packets over long distances at low power and propagates well through the concrete and steel of industrial buildings. Gateway placement is the decision that matters at this stage: the gateway goes where connectivity already exists, and one typically covers a building.

Where a site has no fixed line, or where generation and pumping assets sit off the main site entirely, 4G and 5G industrial routers provide the backhaul instead. Ethernet switches handle the wired segments where a plant network already reaches.

The EG71 gateway carries RS485 alongside KNX, LoRaWAN and optional LTE, so a building system and a LoRaWAN sensor network can hand off through one device. The F-G100 and FGI100 edge gateways process at the point of collection, so only what is needed leaves the site.

Readings then land in whatever platform the organisation already runs: a building management system, an energy platform, or a historian on the plant network. Devices are specified against that target before they are ordered. What happens to the data afterwards is the organisation’s own domain.

Continuous, consistent measurement is the precondition for examining consumption by circuit, by shift, by building and by site in the platform the organisation runs. It is also what lets baseload be separated from production load, and one site be compared against another on the same basis.

The same record is the evidence base underneath SECR disclosures, ESOS assessments, ISO 50001 documentation and net zero reporting, and it is what allows energy savings to be measured against a recorded baseline rather than an estimate. Certification itself is awarded on process and documentation, not on hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

An industrial energy monitoring system is the hardware and connectivity layer that measures electrical consumption below the supply meter and delivers it somewhere it can be used. In practice that is three things: sensors that measure, current transformers clamped around conductors and pulse counters reading existing meters; a network that carries the readings, usually LoRaWAN inside a site and cellular between sites; and a gateway that hands the data to the platform the organisation already runs.
It turns a single billed figure into measured consumption per circuit, per building and per site, continuously rather than monthly. That is what makes it possible to separate baseload from production load and to compare one site against another on the same basis. What changes is that decisions about energy costs stop being made on apportionment.
Usually not. Split-core current transformers open on a hinge and close around a conductor that stays live and stays connected, so no circuit is broken and no supply is interrupted to fit one. Projects still stall on the assumption of an outage, which is worth testing early rather than late. The work needs a competent electrician and the site’s own permit process, and enclosures that cannot be safely opened live are the real constraint rather than the sensor.
The gateway carries the connection, not the sensor. LoRaWAN sensors transmit to a gateway placed where a network drop or a mobile signal already exists, so the switchroom itself needs neither. One gateway typically covers a building. Where that building has no fixed line either, the gateway backhauls over cellular, which is the same arrangement used on remote pumping and generation sites.
No. ISO 50001 certification is awarded by an accredited certification body against an organisation’s management system and its documentation. Metering hardware supplies measured evidence about energy consumption, and nothing beyond it. Whether that evidence satisfies a particular assessment is a decision for the organisation and its certification body rather than a property of the hardware.
At the measurement and connectivity layer, yes. Current transformers measure at the generation connection and at a battery storage connection, environmental sensors cover the plant room, and cellular or LoRaWAN backhaul reports from sites with no fixed line. EasyNet Technologies does not supply solar inverters, MPPT controllers, string monitoring hardware or battery management systems. On a renewable energy monitoring project the inverter remains the integration point and the metering sits alongside it.
Stock is held in EU and UK distribution centres, so orders in both markets ship from local inventory with straightforward customs documentation for UK buyers post-Brexit. EasyNet Technologies is an authorized distributor for Milesight and Four-Faith and the exclusive EU distributor for Donyx, which means every device carries manufacturer certification and full warranty coverage rather than grey-market supply. Lead times on a specific model are confirmed at quotation rather than estimated here.
