Begin with the measurement you need and the decision it supports. Explore the existing selection guides, equipment photographs and application articles, with their original publication dates and supplier references.
01 · Permanent & portable meters
eGauge, DENT, Accuenergy, Setra, Schneider, Leviton — all good options, none right for every situation. This is the decision tree we use to pick submeters for commercial sites, from accuracy class to comms protocol to total installed cost. Based on what we deploy at Eenovators in Kenya and Colorado.
02 · Power & energy logging
AEMC Instruments' lineup at Aim Dynamics covers the four jobs of electrical reliability testing: verify it's safe, measure what's flowing, log energy over time, and confirm asset condition. A practitioner's guide to all 14 instruments — from the $109 phase rotation meter to the PEL 113 power logger.
03 · Data acquisition & channels
A data acquisition system (DAS) is the bridge between what's physically happening in a building and what you can measure and act on. Here's the four-part definition, why 'DAS' means something different in every facility, and where the ADM Director and AI fit.
04 · Communications, software & data
Most sites run a mix of eGauge, Elkor, ADM and Modbus meters that refuse to talk to each other. The ADM Director is a self-hosted commercial energy monitoring system that pulls them all into one local portal — with no monthly cloud fees.
Use the published selection guides to work through permanent or portable installation, single- or three-phase use, channel count, CT or Rogowski compatibility, and power or energy logging.
Then explore communications, local or cloud data, software, subscriptions and support. Existing articles cover eGauge, DENT, Accuenergy, Socomec, ADM, Elkor/MCM and AEMC; use each article’s dated sources for the specific product or application.
