Description

The Varcorder measures and records Amps and Power Factor. A voltage constant is then applied in software to calculate VARs. The key feature of the unit is the ability to leave it deployed on the line to record readings every 15 minutes for 90+ days. It easily attaches to the line with a standard shotgun style hotstick. Once on the line, it immediately begins to collect and record the current and power factor on the line.

Features

• Collect and analyze load and power profiles
• Easily clamps to the line in seconds
• Infrared communication with no annoying cables to connect
• Softlink interface downloads directly into Microsoft Excel
• Generate reports and create graphs for profile analysis
