What Is Power Monitoring (Power Study)? How an Electrician in Perth Can Help
We use the best Power Monitoring Equipment Available - Fluke Power Loggers Perth
When people talk about power monitoring, energy monitoring, power study or electrical energy audit, they often mean the same thing: tracking how much electricity different appliances or circuits consume, identifying inefficiencies, and providing actionable recommendations.
For homes, commercial buildings or industrial sites in Perth, having a power monitoring system installed or conducting a power study can save money, prevent overloads, and improve electrical safety.
Why Power Monitoring / Power Study Matters
Spot energy waste: Power monitoring can reveal hidden loads or devices that draw standby power (phantom load).
Identify peak demand: Knowing when your electrical load peaks helps avoid demand charges or overloads.
Prevent failures and overloads: Monitoring current, voltage, harmonics can detect issues before they escalate.
Support load shifting & energy optimisation: You can shift usage to off-peak times to reduce costs.
Comply with standards: In commercial and industrial settings, power quality and monitoring may be required under regulations or for incentives.
Power Logging is utilised by Perth Strata Bodies to understand their current power availability for upgrading assets like Electric Vehicle Chargers and Air-conditioning
How an Electrician Executes a Power Study / Power Monitoring in Perth
Site assessment
A qualified electrician inspects your supply, panels, wiring, load types, and existing metering.Install monitoring hardware
Current sensors (CT clamps), voltage sensors and data loggers are installed on selected circuits or at the main switchboard.Data logging & recording period
Over days or weeks, data is collected (voltage, current, power factor, harmonics, load profiles).Analysis & reporting
The electrician interprets the data to identify excessive loads, voltage drops, harmonics, quality issues, etc.Recommendations & implementation
Suggestions may include load redistribution, capacitor correction, equipment upgrades, or more efficient appliances.Verification & follow-up monitoring
After changes, further monitoring may confirm the improvements.
