Eaton PXM468KDISP12-2AC6 Enclosed Meter - NEMA 12
Part Number: PXM468KDISP12-2AC6
Quick Summary
Eaton enclosed meter is a compact metering solution designed for panel and enclosure applications. This unit blends metering, a 6-port Ethernet switch, and a 24 Vdc power supply to simplify installation and reduce wiring. Engineers often struggle with cramped control panels and unreliable power interfaces; this enclosure addresses those challenges with a single, purpose-built module. The design supports Modbus communication and a 50/60 Hz input, housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure that protects against dust, water, and contaminants. By consolidating metering, networking, and power in one enclosure, maintenance becomes easier and deployment times shorten, delivering tangible value for energy management and automation initiatives.
