A 16-Channel WiFi Power Meter for Smart Energy Management—OWON PC341

Introduction: The Growing Need for Multi-Circuit Power Monitoring

In today’s commercial and industrial environments, energy usage is no longer just a utility concern — it’s a core business metric. Property managers, system integrators, and energy consultants are increasingly tasked with delivering energy transparency, identifying inefficiencies, and improving operational performance. The challenge? Traditional metering solutions are often bulky, single-circuit, and difficult to scale.

This is where multi-circuit WiFi power meters like the OWON PC341 become a strategic asset.

Project Scenario: Energy Monitoring in a Commercial Retail Complex

A European retail facility with 12 tenant spaces and central HVAC wanted to reduce energy waste, track power use across different areas, and generate monthly tenant energy usage reports for cost allocation.

The site required:

• A compact and scalable power monitoring solution

• Easy installation without disrupting operations

• Wireless connectivity for cloud reporting

• Integration with an existing energy dashboard

• Long-term OEM partnership to deploy in future projects

OWON’s Solution: Deploying the PC341 WiFi Energy Meter

OWON proposed the PC341-W-TY (3+16), a smart WiFi electric meter capable of monitoring three-phase mains plus 16 sub-circuits — ideal for multi-tenant buildings.

Key Advantages:

• 16 Channels in One Unit
  One device tracks lighting, HVAC, tenant usage, signage, and back-office loads simultaneously.

• Real-Time Data via WiFi
  15-second update intervals over 2.4GHz WiFi enables instant data access through Tuya Cloud or custom platforms.

• Space-Saving DIN Rail Design
  Easily mounted inside existing electrical panels with minimal rewiring.

• Support for OEM Branding & API Integration
  Tailored firmware and private-labeling ensured seamless deployment under the client’s energy analytics platform.

• Historical Trend View
  Daily, monthly, and yearly consumption graphs allowed the facility manager to generate reports automatically.

Results & Benefits

• 30% reduction in non-critical energy usage within 3 months by identifying peak usage times

• Automated tenant billing, improving operational transparency and eliminating manual data collection

• Centralized cloud dashboard accessible by management and maintenance teams across multiple sites

• Simplified rollout to three additional retail centers, leveraging OWON’s stable product and supply chain
