1.1 About the ElNet Pico Powermete
Large consumers of electricity e.g. factories, hotels, hospitals,
municipalities, need to know the history of their consumption and
the quality and the values of the power supply. Details such as
Voltage, Current, Power Factor, Hertz, Neutral Current, Energy
consumption can be displayed by the ElNet Pico Energy
Powermeter
.
An additional feature of the Multimeter is the ability to measure
THD –Total Harmonic Distortion. Part of the Electricity Supply
Authority’s bill reflects poor or good Harmonics in the
consumer’s system, therefore it is in his interest to monitor
Harmonics and try to improve it.
