Session Information
Measuring the Cost of Power Consumption
Session Type: Technical Workshop
Location: Mandalay Bay
Speaker: Wade Thompson, Fluke Corp.
Date: Sunday, September 30, 2012
Time: 12:00 PM

12:50 PM
Description:
Measuring power in the way that utilities charge for it requires more than taking a voltage and amperage reading. You
need to know power factor. This workshop steps through various levels of power measurement, explaining the
application scenarios, how to connect correctly, what to measure, and, most importantly, how to quantify the amount
of energy waste, either due to operational practices or poor power quality. Measurement parameters covered: voltage
unbalance, harmonics, phase current, voltage sags, peak consumption and power factor.
