Electro Industries / GaugeTech: Electrical metering, power-quality analysis and protocol gateways

Electro Industries / GaugeTech makes power meters, power-quality instruments, protocol gateways and energy-management software.

Summary

Best for
Projects needing electrical measurements alongside power-quality events and documented system integration.
Less suited to
Treating a building protocol gateway as a universal converter for arbitrary meters.
Deployment
Electrical meters with selected communications, optional protocol gateways and local or hosted software.
Data in
Nexus 1450 lists Modbus, DNP3 and IEC 61850; ProtoCom-KT maps supported EIG meters into building protocols.

Overview

Electro Industries/GaugeTech makes electrical meters and power-monitoring software. Its Nexus instruments combine energy measurement with power-quality analysis, while EnergyPQA.com provides a software view across facilities and circuits. This places consumption and electrical reliability within the same product offering.

The company also supplies engineering services for commissioning, integration, training and calibration. A project can therefore involve a meter alone or extend to the supporting software and installation work. EIG is particularly relevant to teams investigating how much electricity a site uses and whether supply disturbances are affecting the equipment connected to it.

Offering

The Nexus 1450 is an electrical monitoring instrument with documented Modbus, DNP3 and IEC 61850 communication paths. It sits within EIG's power-quality and energy-meter range, providing measurement data for local investigation and wider monitoring systems.

ProtoCom-KT is a separate gateway for connecting supported EIG meters to building-management systems. Its discovery process identifies the connected meter and maps appropriate BACnet points automatically. The product lists BACnet MS/TP and BACnet/IP, as well as Metasys N2 and Allen-Bradley interfaces. This is a retrofit route for moving existing EIG meter information into building controls without replacing the measuring instrument.

Products and platforms

  1. EnergyPQA.com

    Energy-management software

    Software destination for energy and power-quality information.3

  2. EnergyManager EXT

    Energy-management software described in the retained manufacturer article; confirm current licensing and support before new procurement.11

  4. HMIPQA+

    Custom SCADA application offered through EIG engineering services.6

Technology

ProtoCom translates EIG's native Modbus metering data into building-management protocols. Its automatic point mapping is a practical distinction from a gateway that requires every destination point to be constructed manually. The supported meter and destination protocol remain part of the configuration.

EnergyPQA.com works at the software layer, comparing energy consumption and power-quality information across monitored circuits and facilities. EIG presents it as a way to identify waste and less reliable electrical systems. Neither a manufacturer's protocol list nor its own gateway mapping establishes an independently tested Edge profile; that would require the instrument's exact data map and commissioning evidence.

Standards and technical interfaces

Markets

EIG's engineering-services offering covers installation and wiring verification, system integration, on-site or webinar training and meter calibration. Its team also describes troubleshooting existing systems, including equipment from other manufacturers. These services support projects where the measurement hardware must fit an operating site's monitoring and control arrangements.

The company's EnergyPQA.com platform addresses enterprise energy analysis and electrical reliability. Facility-level comparisons can help distinguish persistent consumption from power-quality problems on a particular circuit. Combined with the commissioning and calibration services, the offering extends beyond displaying a single meter's live values to maintaining a monitoring system that an engineering team can use over time.

Company

EIG's published history credits engineer Samuel Kagan with founding Electro Industries/GaugeTech in 1975. It records a microprocessor-based AC meter in 1981 and the start of work on Ethernet power monitoring in 1996. Those milestones connect its present networked meters to a longer focus on electrical instrumentation.

The company publishes a Westbury, New York address, and its services page identifies factory-based meter calibration in Westbury. Current support resources include firmware and software releases, product documentation, training and discontinued-model information. Together these provide useful continuity for operators maintaining instruments beyond the initial installation, rather than only researching a new purchase.
