Plug Load Logger Provides Accurate Equipment Energy Use Data
Onset, Bourne, Mass., developed the HOBO Plug Load Logger, a high-accuracy, easy-to-deploy data logger that measures and records the power and energy consumption of 120V plug loads from office equipment, vending machines and other devices.
The HOBO Plug Load Logger provides 0.5% measurement accuracy with a measurement resolution of 1 watt, making it an ideal choice for building audits where detailed energy use data is required. The logger can measure up to six parameters—true RMS voltage, true RMS current, watts, watt-hours/kilowatt-hours, apparent power and power factor—to provide a comprehensive plug load profile. And, its rugged housing is designed to withstand the rigors of real-world handling, providing reliable performance despite bumps, drops and use under desks.
