Systems and methods for monitoring a power system
A method for monitoring a power system includes receiving, from at least one component monitor in communication with components of the power system, a first set of readings for at least one of the power system components at an input of a central processing unit. The method also includes providing the first set of readings to be displayed in a graphical format on a user interface. A user selection of a portion of the first set of readings, and at least one user classification of the portion of the first set of readings, is received. Portions of the first set of readings are identified and removed based on the at least one user classification to generate a modified set of readings. The modified set of readings is classified by at least one characteristic, and the at least one characteristic is detected in a second set of readings.
Three-Phase Power Meter
A three-phase power meter can monitor power on both 3-wire and 4-wire power lines.
