3. I need to add more loads – will my panels and circuits support the new additions? We need to reduce energy consumption – I need to perform an energy audit to evaluate energy savings opportunities. This transformer is very hot – is it overloaded or are high harmonics the cause? My (machine) is operating erratically – is power quality the cause? When the HVAC (or motor or other equipment) turns on the breaker trips. Im commissioning a UPS and need to verify its performance. My one-line diagram is out of date or missing, I need to recreate it. I need to measure system impedances for an Arc Flash study. Define Problem

15. To Display or Not Display Unattended long-term monitoring and logging does not require a display For long monitoring periods no one is looking at the monitor Analysis done off line Use PC as display for analysis and reports Good security – small size, less conspicuous Attended short-term monitoring sometimes requires oscilloscope display Witness conditions as they occur Forcing events, changing of waveforms Usually during commissioning and set-up of equipment Poor security – video game

16. Connecting Safely Terminal blocks - danger! Banana plugs – stacking is a hazard CAT IV rating - highest level of transient overvoltage Neutral conductor? Verifying connections by experience Indicator lights – go, no go Display – phasors, rotation, polarity Intelligence – checks all conditions CTs self-identify

17. Connection Check List Types of Errors that may be present One, two, or three voltages not connected One, two, or three currents not connected to source One, two, or three currents not connected to measuring system Two or three connections to the same voltage Two or three connections to the same current Voltages misidentified Currents misidentified One, two, or three current sensors backwards Two voltage connections switched Two current sensors switched All voltages rotated one position left All voltages rotated one position right All currents rotated one position left All currents rotated one position right One phase not present Two phases not present Three phases not present One phase offered as two or three phases One phase shorted to neutral or ground Two phases shorted to neutral or ground Neutral not connected to ground Non-standard voltage due to improper loading Non-standard voltage due to power system problem Non-standard frequency due to power system problem Non-standard phase shift between phases due to power system problem Combinations of the above listed errors

18. Foolproof surveys Algorithms check all voltage and current connections Advises connection errors Checks trigger levels SureStart

19. SafeConnect Monitor power without exposure to high voltages No need to wear special gloves, eye- protection, or flame-retardant clothing. No need to power down. No need to put up protective barriers or warnings. Quick setup and teardown of monitoring sessions on live power. No need to remove panels. No need to deal with hooking up current probes in tight or inaccessible spaces. Periodic maintenance measurements. No switched phases, reversed probes, or dead channels. Permanent connections means the data is right when you return 1 month later.
