I have a clothing store that is experencing over heating of branch wiring at each panel on all phases. Any suggestion as to what to look for during my investication would be appreciated.

I plan on stalling power quality meter!

Thank You

Please define "overheating".

Sounds like you need an electrician to check it out. Could be anything from loose connections to overloads or overstuffed conduits or other things. Let a pro take a look at it.

Profile sat blues is a building wiring engineer (not sure of that classification).

But there needs to be more information..where is the heat originating...in the panel along the conductor lenght, ect...One thing for sure if this heat is excessive, exceeds the rating of the overcurrent protection device or conductor insulation you should get assistance ASAP.
