Sensors come in all shapes and sizes and just like anything else in the world, one size does not fit all. It would also be unwise to say that more expensive means more suitable. Before choosing a sensor, one needs to define the purpose that one is expecting it to serve.

Have you ever looked at your electricity bill and wondered why you are being charged for more than your consumption? This problem is often faced by industrial consumers, who are billed on kVAh supplied instead of kWh consumed. Let us first try to understand what these terms mean and what role does power factor play in your electricity consumption.

Climate change is no more a thing of the future, it is no more about making the planet inhabitable for the future generations. It is happening right here, right this moment. Many of us discard the “theory” of climate change pointing towards the extra snowy winters in their towns. A simple explanation to that is that as temperatures rise, more water vapour is held in the atmosphere which leads to more intense rain and snow storms. Duration of cold weather decreases but the intensity can very well increase.

This post is about making an OpenWRT image with USB dongle support. We, as a part of our kit that collects and sends data of energy meters over the net required to use routers in the solution along with the raspberry.

Our focus here is only on power factor and its effect on output KW. Most of DG manufacturers mention0.8 as rated power factor of DG. But it doesn’t mean that DG must be operated at 0.8 power factor at all the time

Power factor improvement has always been a crucial area of concern for all industrial plants and big office spaces incurring large electricity cost.

Every manufacturing facility has different stages between raw material and finished commercial product. These different stages have individual motor circuit control (MCC) units, supplied from the ACB in primary control panel

Distribution transformer is a part of every electrical power network at user end. If a facility is being supplied on HT from the utility, transformer and its losses comes under user’s responsibility. Like any other equipment its efficiency is calculated as the ratio of output power and input power. As transformer operates on the magnetizing phenomenon and it has no rotating parts, its efficiency is very high. It usually stays above 95% but as the power flow across a transformer is very high even small changes in terms of efficiency percentage gives significant energy savings.
