Abstract
Many electrical distribution specialists are using power monitoring systems to improve the effectiveness of their facilities. Information from power monitoring systems can be used to minimize permanent investment, reduce variable cost, and improve process availability. These benefits are discussed, and examples of successful system implementation are given. Types of systems are described, and an approach to system planning is suggested.
