Abstract
A method of detecting leakage in a compressed air system having a compressor includes configuring an electrical monitor to measure one or more electrical parameters indicative of operation of the compressor. The method further includes identifying periods of time during which the compressor is not in use; analyzing running times and intervals of the compressor between compressor operations during one or more of identified periods of time to establish a baseline for air leakage. The method further includes continuing to analyze running times and intervals of the compressor between compressor operations when the compressor is not in use. The method further includes notifying one or more users when running times and intervals between compressor operations vary from the baseline.
