Digital Power Meters, or energy meters, are used to measure and monitor energy and power consumption. There are many different types of power meters that measure different parameters, dependant on the measuring application they are used for. With the versatility of these power meters, they can display and measure voltages, power factors and reactive factors, which in turn can be used to calculate costs for on-peak and off-peak energy consumption. Digital power meters can be used across a wide variety of applications, but can most commonly be found in:

• Power plants and sub-stations
• Homes and businesses to monitor and display energy consumption on behalf of the energy supplier
• Management and monitoring of network power quality and consumption

One of the biggest benefits of using a digital power meter is the fact that it gives continuous and instantaneous readings. Analogue power meters are used for the same purpose as a digital meter, however, they are much more difficult for the average person to read and understand, which is why qualified technicians often come to take the readings from them. Digital power meters are also integrated to share the usage measurements and data to utility suppliers, meaning it is an easier and more convenient way for both the energy user and energy company to be able to give more accurate readings which in turn also affect the cost of energy usage for the user.
