The Elemeasure Maximum Demand Controller provides advanced demand monitoring and load management for industrial and commercial setups. By continuously tracking power consumption and shedding non-critical loads when demand nears preset limits, it ensures energy efficiency and cost savings while preventing penalties due to exceeding maximum demand.

Description

The Elemeasure Maximum Demand Controller (MDC) is an intelligent energy monitoring and control device that helps industries reduce electricity demand charges by monitoring load consumption in real-time and automatically controlling non-essential loads when the demand approaches preset limits. It is designed for accurate, reliable, and efficient energy management in industrial and commercial facilities.
