Where do Power Quality Disturbances Come From?
Power Quality Standards
Here are a few Power Monitoring Devices:
-
1.Electricity Usage Sensor
-
2. Transmitter
- Bluetooth or Zigbee – both are short-range but are perfect for multiple purposes. Zigbee often utilizes a smart meter. But you cannot tap into a Zigbee signal without the correct gear.
- 433MHz – the same frequency employed by some remotes, weather stations, and other equipment. Can send data up to 70 meters away.
- Wi-fi – offers a wireless range over the two choices above
- Power Monitor Transmitters are often battery-operated.
-
3. Receiver / Display
Uses of Data Center Power Monitoring Systems
