Core Drivers of Energy Use in Buildings
Perhaps one of the most important factors in the energy consumption equation is also one of the most overlooked: buildings. In many ways, buildings are essential to a sustainable future, particularly when you consider their architecture, design, construction, operation, and all the many activities that take place under their roofs. Growing energy awareness and reducing […]
Tracking how Electric Vehicles charging effect residential power usage.
This is a guest blog by Philippe Marseille. In it he explains his installation and setup of an eGauge system with Magnelab current sensors to monitor the power consumption of his Tesla S 85D (when charging), in addition to the overall consumption of his house. Hi, I like to track my energy usage (from my […]
The benefits of high quality electrical usage interval data
This paper will describe how to use low cost components to gain actionable information and save money on commercial electric demand rates. Case study examples are provided from projects in Colorado. Understanding electrical load profiles and demand rates Utilities typically apply demand rates to commercial customers. Under such rates businesses are billed for their demand […]
How to Extend the Life of Your Equipment
Practical tips for monitoring and regulating power consumption Large, 3-Phase motors, compressors, pumps, and equipment used in an industrial setting benefit from operating at certain voltages (and amperages). While managers and machine operators may be aware of the OEM specs and operational guidelines, few practice practical condition and energy monitoring over the lifetime of their […]
How Energy Monitoring Can Save Money
From electricians to homeowners, city planners to CEOs, energy monitoring is a buzzword that means more than environmental friendliness, it means big savings.
Explanation of Accuracy Specifications for Current Transformers
Accuracy/Tolerance Explanations: A question is often asked about what the difference is between the tolerances specified by Magnelab and other companies. Don’t be deceived by the numbers or catch phases, know what you are getting when ordering current transformers (CT’s). When looking at the specifications for a CT, the accuracy rating or class can be […]
Current to Voltage vs Current to Current Transformers
Many meter manufacturers and others ask why use a Magnelab standard, pre-burdened voltage output current transformer (CT) for monitoring power instead of the traditional 5 amp output current transformer (CT) that’s been used for decades. There are several similarities and differences between the two CT types–the similarities are that both CT’s operate under the same […]
