Solutions to power studies, examples of measurements and reports. Click on an image to view it at its maximum resolution.
RMS Voltage Logs
All PowerSight models are excellent tools for logging voltage, current, and power parameters. Log graphs of RMS values can be displayed on your PC with PSM software (supplied with every PowerSight) and pasted into a Word document with a mouse click. Note that PSM allows you to zoom, expand, export to Excel and annotate with labels to highlight events or behavior.
View real-time waveforms, harmonics, phasors in scope mode
The oscilloscope features in all PowerSight meters allow you to view voltage and current waveforms, see the harmonic spectrum on any phase and get phasor diagrams.
Harmonic Spectra
All PowerSight meters measure harmonics to the 50th harmonic. (Note: For the PS250 and PS2500 loggers harmonics measurement is an option)
Harmonic table of magnitudes and phase angles
All PowerSight meters measure harmonics to the 50th harmonic and can display both the harmonic spectra for voltage or current, and a harmonic magnitude and phase angle table. (Note: For the PS250 and PS2500 loggers harmonics measurement is an option)
Phasors
View phasor diagrams with any PowerSight model. Check connections and imbalance. Observe on a PC or PDA safely away from high voltages using Bluetooth communications with Bluetooth-enabled PowerSight meters.

Power Direction
PowerSight meters can report direction of power flow, and whether power is being consumed or exported.
Power and Energy Studies - True Power Watts
All PowerSight models measure and record power (watts, VA, VAR, PF) and energy in KWh.
Power and Energy Studies - kWh Report
All PowerSight models measure and record power (watts, VA, VAR, PF) and energy in KWh.
Out of Harms Way! PowerSight in SCAS2 Case
Thanks go to Bruce Lonie of PowerCet (a consulting and training company) who sent us this excellent picture of a PowerSight monitoring power to large walk-in food coolers in a commercial kitchen. He cleverly used the soft case SCAS2 to hang the meter out of harms way, and in a safe way.
View Real-Time Meters Locally / Remotely.
The meter window in every PowerSight meter displays real time values just like a multimeter for spot checks and ensuring you have good signal connections. Additionally, the Remote Control function in PSM software mimicks the front panel on your your PC or Netbook so you can operate and control Bluetooth enabled PowerSight meters remotely. Thus from a safe distance, up to 25 feet away, you can view meter values, waveforms and more.
PowerSight Meters: Best For Safety - Compliance with NFPA 70E
Be Comfortable. Be Safe. PowerSight meters / analyzers with Bluetooth wireless communications allow you to: Remove protective gear in a safe area and get away from high voltages after installing probes. Remotely perform power monitoring and electrical testing (up to 25 feet away) via a PC or PDA.
Bluetooth for Safety via PC or PDA
Be safer, be more comfortable! Get relief from wearing PPE. After installing probes move to safe distance and remove hoods or visors and thick-fingered gloves. Use a PC, netbook, or PDA and communicate wirelessly to a Powersight via Bluetooth, up to 25 feet away. Perform set-up, download data, check connections etc. away from high voltages. PSM software for the PC allows remote operation via any PC or netbook equipped with Bluetooth.
