Knowledge

Use the Electrocorder Knowledge section to choose the right logger, understand common electrical problems, and plan measured energy or power-quality investigations.

These guides are written for customers who need practical proof: what to measure, which logger to use, and how recorded data can support decisions about energy saving, voltage problems, machines tripping, solar PV, battery storage and power factor.

Choose by application

• Energy Audit Loggers: for energy audits, load profiles, peak demand and before/after savings proof.
• Voltage Problem Loggers: for high voltage, low voltage, voltage variation, dips and interruptions.
• Machine Trip and Reset Loggers: for equipment trips, resets, lockouts and intermittent electrical faults.
• Load Survey and Current Loggers: for feeder checks, current logging, load surveys and capacity planning.
• Power Factor and Three Phase Power Loggers: for kW, kVA, kVAR, power factor, peak demand and three-phase power analysis.
• Solar PV, Battery Storage and DC Loggers: for solar irradiance, PV output, DC voltage/current and battery-system studies.
• All application guides: choose an Electrocorder by the job or problem you need to investigate.

Energy saving and auditing

• Energy Auditing: plan an electrical energy audit and choose between full power logging and current-only load surveys.
• Saving Energy in Offices: practical office energy checks covering metering, lighting, HVAC, appliances and out-of-hours use.
• Saving Energy in Industry: industrial energy-saving guidance for lighting, heating, motors, power factor, benchmarking and measured savings.
• Cycling of Closed Loop Control Systems: measure short cycling in heating, compressor and lighting control systems.

Voltage and power quality

• Voltage Optimisation: measure voltage before and after voltage optimisation and check whether savings are realistic.
• Machines Tripping or Resetting: investigate machines, controls and appliances that trip, reset or behave intermittently.
• Power Factor Correction: understand poor power factor, kW, kVA, kVAR and correction methods.

Solar PV, batteries and DC systems

• Solar Photovoltaic Auditing: compare solar PV output with irradiance and site conditions.
• Battery Storage Systems: investigate DC battery storage systems, charge/discharge patterns and hidden faults.
