The challengeIn order to monitor power, each PDU sub-feed circuit breaker requires three current transducers (CTs), and voltage taps wired to a central control board. Although CTs and voltage taps provide critical system data, they can increase:
Enclosure footprint Commissioning time
Manufacturing time Installation cost
