Energy Monitoring

The portable kWh meter also displays average and peak demand to enable the calculation of load factor, and through measurement it creates a pattern of usage. This information helps to determine any causes of demand excursions and potential unauthorised consumption.

Phase current imbalance affects energy costs by increasing temperature losses on neutral or phase cables and distribution transformers.

Poor power factor causes higher currents to flow for the equivalent plant energy conversion compared with unity power factor. Accurate monitoring will help determine if distribution wiring needs to be re-routed or whether departmental or machine level power factor correction would be cost effective. The cost of expanding production or occupancy can be drastically reduced if monitoring proves that the capacity of an existing distribution transformer and cables are accurate.

Deltrax5 is a powerful data analysis software which allows us to present the data collected by monitoring into simple, clear and precise reports. The analysis can include voltage, ampere, kWh, kW, balancing, time and peak demand data, this data will enable the client to make extremely informed decisions on energy management.
