IQ 250/260 Electronic Power Meters
General Description
The IQ 250 and IQ 260 meters provide capabili-
ties you would not normally expect in affordable,
compact meters, such as fast sampling rate and
accurate metering for a full range of power attri-
butes. Providing the first line of defense against
costly power problems, Eaton’s IQ 250 and IQ 260
electronic power meters can perform the work of
an entire wall of legacy metering equipment utiliz-
ing today’s technology.
When space is at a premium, yet you need ANSI
C12.20 accuracy, the IQ 250/260 series fit the bill.
These meters are ideal for electrical equipment
assemblies, machine control panels, such as pan-
elboard and switchboard mains and feeders, low
voltage metal-enclosed switchgear feeders and
motor control centers. Requiring far less space
than other meters with similar functionality, IQ
250/260 series fit into a standard ANSI or IEC cut-
out on a panelboard or other electrical equipment,
and therefore fit easily into retrofit applications.
