Abstract
A portable electrical energy consumption diagnostic device 10 connects to electrical systems to acquire and analyze electrical data. The device has an onboard power supply 12, an energy monitoring means 14, a mini PC 16, a modem/router 18, CT adaptors 20 and an interface 22, all housed in a portable container 24, such as a hard case. The device 10 is connected to external electrical connector(s) (CT inputs) 26, 32 to temporarily connect the device to an electrical supply of electrical equipment. Electrical data acquisition means and an onboard electrical data processing means determine electrical consumption characteristics of monitored equipment over a period of time, such as lighting, air conditioning, elevators, pumps, motors etc. Optional transmission means transmits the acquired electrical data to a remote electrical data processor for remote electrical data processing. The onboard or remote data processor generating report data relating to the electrical energy consumption.
