PASS Presents...
Electrical contractors! As institutions, organisations, and businesses continue to focus on minimising energy bills and meeting net zero targets, many more will require energy surveys. However, to capitalise on this lucrative opportunity and futureproof your business you need a reliable tool that will accurately capture data…presenting the Chauvin Arnoux PEL104 Power & Energy Logger. Precise, portable, and practical, this voltage and current logger can be left in place to gather relevant data from which you can easily derive electrical parameters such as power, power factor, harmonics, energy, and even tonnes of CO2 and, subsequently, carbon footprint. Available as part of a Contractor Kit, discover everything you need to know about this power & energy logger in our new PASS Presents series of mini-interviews. Check out the playlist above; via our YouTube channel, @PASSLTD-tester; or on the PEL104 information page.

Chauvin Arnoux’s Julian Grant published an article in the October 2022 edition of Professional Electrician detailing four simple tests contractors can add to their arsenal to bolster their income and beat spiralling inflation and surging fuel costs. The information below is taken from that article.
Power quality problems aren’t always immediately recognisable. Without power quality monitoring, issues within electrical distribution systems and/or faults with equipment may be misdiagnosed as, for example, an old breaker that needs to be replaced. Misdiagnosis could lead to ineffective 'corrections', for instance, resetting the equipment or circuit. Spotting the signs of power quality issues early is essential to prevent further damage to systems or equipment. Once symptoms have been recognised, you can use a power quality analyser, such as 
Monitoring power consumption equips you with the data needed to make important energy management decisions. Knowing your energy usage is critical to understanding the capacity of your existing electrical panel, troubleshooting circuit breaker trips, identifying energy costs, and uncovering energy waste. It can help you to maximise plant safety, decrease and verify bills while increasing energy efficiency, secure rebates and financial incentives, and locate and troubleshoot power quality issues.
