Each square shows the present real time susceptible to harmonic pollution. In fact, harmonics can cause readings and is color coded to easily see if a parameter small, almost imperceptible variations in performance that has exceeded any triggered conditions. A green square aggregate to effect significant long-term damage. Current means the parameter is within limits. Blinking red means harmonics generated by a source can pollute the entire power the parameter has exceeding your monitoring limits. system without being affected itself. The Energy Platform captures detailed harmonics, interharmonics and subharmonics to effectively troubleshoot the complex problems caused by these events. PC Software Packages* Energy Platform Report Writer software (EPRW) is included with every EP1. EPRW is unlicensed (no HASP) 10A Clamp Package (EP1, voltage cables, soft case, EP10-4 and summarizes your survey, producing easy to read, user EPRW Software, CF card, 4 x 1-10A CT's) selectable reports including, voltage & current, harmonics, 500A Clamp Package (EP1, voltage cables, soft case, EP500-4 demand & energy, time of use and energy cost calculator EPRW Software, CF card, 4 x 10-500A CT's) using your energy rates. Reports are created in a RTF 100A Clamp Package (EP1, voltage cables, soft case, format for easy use in any text editor.
