Eaton PXBCM-MB-BASIC Power Xpert branch circuit monitor meter base - UL Listed 61010-1
Part Number: PXBCM-MB-BASIC
Quick Summary
Power Xpert branch circuit monitor meter base provides precise electrical monitoring for single-phase distribution panels. Engineers often struggle to gain visibility into real-time current, voltage, and surge events across branch circuits, leading to delays and suboptimal energy management. This device carries UL Listed 61010-1, EN 61000-4-5 Surge, EN 61000-4-4 Electrical fast transient, and CSA standards, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance. As part of a modular PXBCM system, it integrates with network protocols like Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, and BACnet/IP, enabling scalable energy management and reporting. For procurement teams, the compact form factor and external power source provide install flexibility and faster ROI through improved visibility and fault detection.

External power source and 100-277 VAC operation enable installation in diverse facilities, including retrofit panels and new builds. This translates to greater deployment flexibility and reduced wiring complexity, delivering measurable energy visibility gains and faster commissioning. The device communicates via Modbus RTU RS-485, Modbus TCP, and BACnet/IP, simplifying integration with existing Building Management Systems and energy dashboards, which reduces engineering time and maintenance costs. Its instrumentation includes Watt Demand, Current & Voltage per phase, VA Demand, Wh, and Net/Positive/Negative energy, providing granular insights that improve demand response and power quality monitoring. Compliance ratings such as EN 61000-4-5 surge immunity, EN 61000-4-4 transient, and UL 61010-1 safety help minimize regulatory risk and noncompliance costs. The compact enclosure (6 in x 6.8 in x 2.5 in, 1 lb) with graphic display supports quick installation and local/remote visibility, reducing field service time.
