Electrical Load Monitoring

Electrical Load Monitoring

Load monitoring is an important process for building owners and property managers who are considering expanding or renovating their existing buildings. It helps to monitor energy usage and ensure that the building's electrical system has adequate capacity to meet the needs of its occupants. It involves connecting instrumentation at the main service entrance switchboard or other key distribution panels to a power recording instrument, which measures currents, voltages, frequency, power factor, and harmonics over a period ranging from one to thirty days. Upon completing the load monitoring, a detailed report is provided to the customer with recommendations to help the building owner or property manager make important decisions that will protect the operation of the electrical equipment and help save energy costs.
