3. Minimize waste in electrical system


Unbalance, distortion, effective power, reactive power and neutral current. A power quality analysis would show you how much these parameters contribute to the total energy lost.

The types of energy losses are computed instantly and can be broken down into:

  • Effective: Amount of energy dissipated as heat when current flows through cable
  • Reactive: Energy loss as a result of inductive and/or capacitive loads
  • Unbalance: Loss in energy due to an unbalance distribution in source and load
  • Distortion: Amount of energy lost as a result of distorted power (harmonics)
  • Neutral: Energy loss due to currents in a neutral conductor
 

Motor mechanical load performance can be easily understood without stopping the production.

  • Easy to interpret motor load status using the color chart according to NEMA limits
  • Measurement is done without the need to install torque or speed sensors which saves costs
  • Innovative computation that presents the motor torque, speed, power and running efficiency.
