The handheld 430 Series II helps facilities to reduce electrical power consumption and improve the performance and lifespan of electromechanical equipment by providing the ROI justification to mitigate power quality distortion. Electrical engineers, technicians and electricians can now assess the financial impact of new energy-efficient lighting, motor controls and HVAC systems. As individual installations, these systems consume less energy, but they can increase the level of power quality disturbance in the overall electrical system, thereby increasing waste energy due to harmonics and reducing the total potential energy savings.
