Continuous monitoring at distribution panels is essential for maintaining electrical system health and improving energy efficiency. It enables early detection of issues such as voltage overloads and provides the data needed to track power consumption and identify energy-saving opportunities. By establishing a baseline of energy use across different equipment, you can develop targeted strategies for energy efficiency improvements.
What is a Energy Logger?
A energy logger is a portable meter which can be installed to measure, record and analyze electrical energy usage in a single or three phase electrical system. It’s ideal for getting an energy profile of a system or a single component.

Why Facilities Managers should use energy loggers:
- Track: Monitor real-time energy usage (kWH, demand).
- Detect: Energy intensive equipment and systems.
- Quantify: Get pre-and-post data for energy saving projects.
Benefits of Using a energy logger:
- Baseline: Establish a reliable reference point for a measurement and verification project.
- System Efficiency: Analyze daily or weekly power usage trends and fine-tune your system as needed.
- Fault detection: Detect voltage imbalances or spikes.
