Powerlink MVP (Measurement and Verification Panelboards)

Energy Management (EM) and Control of Lighting and Other Loads

Powerlink Energy Management
(EM) Lighting Control System

Powerlink MVP panelboards integrate the same features found in the Powerlink 3500G4 level system with energy monitoring and verification of lighting and other branch circuit loads. The PowerLogic™ metering installed in these panelboards may be configured to accurately monitor every branch circuit and the incoming mains.

The Powerlink system reduces electrical energy consumption associated with lighting and other loads by automatically switching loads off during non-occupied periods. The Powerlink system is often ideal for reducing the peak demand by switching unnecessary lights off in response to an automated response signal or when high time-of-day energy tariffs occur.
