History
Metrum Sweden AB was founded in 2004 with the intention of creating the next generation of power quality instruments and systems.
The background was the introduction of the new IEC 61000-4-30 Class A standard in 2003. Power quality measurement was clearly defined for the first time.
With the starting point of a combination of high performance with simple operation and a unique price/performance relationship, Metrum created a completely unique product range.
By close collaboration with network companies, industries, research institutes and universities a market leading solution for efficient and intelligent energy and electrical quality monitoring has been developed.
