Bitronics Power Measurement and Event Recording products set the gold standard for reliability and accuracy in electric utility substations. 50 and 60 Series SCADA meters and transducers vastly simplify and reduce configuration and wiring costs in traditional Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications. The one-cycle RMS updates of the new PowerPlex II are ideal for synchronization and other automation applications. 70 Series Event Recorders were the first IEC 61850-compliant analytical and control Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) suitable for the advanced, high-speed measurement demands of today’s dynamic, distributed and efficient power grids. The MultiComm®, PowerPlex®, and other legacy meters set the standard for Utility-Grade Mulitfunction Metering for decades. All currently manufactured Bitronics products are backed by an unconditional, retroactive and hassle-free 10-year guarantee.
With universal wiring, split-core Current Transformers (CTs), and front panel or web-based configuration, Bitronics 50 and 60 Series SCADA Meters simplify ordering, configuration, integration, commissioning, and spares. All display models share a capacitive-touch front interface, bright 3-line/5-digit displays, flexible connection (Ethernet, RS-232 and RS-485 – 50 Series) and protocol (Modbus and DNP3 over TCP/IP; IEC 61850 for 60 Series) options.
Models : M653 Triple Display / M650 & M660 Mulifunction Meters / M350 Amp and Volt Meters
Bitronics SCADA and Automation Transducers provide reliable performance in SCADA, standby generation and other hi-speed synchronization applications. All models allow primary and advanced settings configuration using a standard web browser through the Ethernet service port. Pre-set register/point sets coupled with the universal power supply and universal wiring make it easy to go from the box to up and running in no time.The PowerPlex II is an automation transducer with two sets of three-phase voltages and 1-cycle measurement update speeds. The external, split core CTs (not available on PowerPlex II) option streamlines upgrade and retrofit applications as the CT circuit does not need to be interrupted.
Models : M651 & M661 Mulifunction SCADA Transducers / PowerPlex II Automation Transducer
Bitronics 70 Series Event Recorders, Automation and Control IEDs are deployed in critical power measurement, automation, recording and analysis roles in electric utility substations worldwide. The Bitronics 70 Series were the first IEC 61850-Compliant Measurement IEDs, and meet all three PRC-002 Compliant Event Recording requirements (SOE Equipment, Fault Recording, and Dynamic Disturbance Recording), in a single unit. With 4ms RMS measurements and high-resolution event capture, they can be used to analyze network faults, verify protective relay and other substation equipment performance, test the dynamic response of the network, and store long-term trends. They can also be used to automate a substation – including supervisory control, distance to fault, sequence of events, oscillography recording, and other advanced measurements – while preserving existing investments in electromechanical relays.
Models : M871 & M872 Distributed Event Recorders
The MultiComm, PowerPlex, TriPlex, and other legacy Bitronics meters and transducers redefined the measurement precision, display performance and communication capabilities of electric utility substation power measurement. From the Tennesse Valley Authority to the Three Gorges Dam, these meters made the Bitronics brand famous for quality and performance around the world.
Models : MultiComm Digital Power Meter / PowerPlex Digital Transducer / Triplex Three Phase Amp and Voltmeters

This video shows how a Northwest utility uses the Bitronics M871 to captures a fault and provides key information to the utility. Features such as SCADA data, distance-to-fault, disturbance recording, etc., that weren’t present, can be made available from the M87x. Installing the Bitronics M871 to automate the distribution substation is a low-cost option to performing a relay upgrade or installing an expensive fault recorder.
