I am submitting a proposal for project next year.

I am not a power guy, I want to know what are the benefit or usecase,
why our plant would want to hookup power/energy measurement device in our machines?
We have machines that use few motors to run.

Hi Eugene, Here’s a great video to start with that provides some benefits and use cases of energy and power monitoring.

Thank you. I am just about to read/re-watch them.

I am planning to get groom Rio EMU.

Question thought:

  1. Does this come with Learning Center?

  2. I am running out of words - I will try again:
    For simulation and Testing: Is there a way to setup a Lab Test Bench small enough that fits my desk where I have a AC consuming device, that allows the control of AC consumption, also safe to work with (enclosed with no hot parts can be touch).
