IDK what I would use it for exactly but I have time and spare $212.27!

You could use it like a snake oil salesmen to provide the bells and whistles to convince people to buy these devices that will cut their energy bill.

Joking of course.

Then tell your boss to learn how to use it and think of a way the company can use it. Pretty stupid thinking on his part IMO. What's it worth sitting on the shelf?

I think I know how I can make money from this. If I do a job that requires motors, I can use this tool to commission the motors since it has a motor analyzer built into it. It’s billable hours right there!

I guess PQA is only useful for data centers and industrial facilities, cannot find a use for it in residential apartment buildings lol. did that spike damage any equipment?

So I just had a customer where we spent 2 months dealing with lower quality issues. I built a new service (upgrade to 400 amp) last summer and he had a couple of tvs and a sous vide machine go bad. I installed a new car charger for him and it has been consistently overheating since December. I came out and investigated my connections and found nothing wrong. I offered to get a pay meter setup on his side but it was going to be 1k$ . Well he bought a cheap one online for 160$ and it was showing all kinds of neutral and line spikes and a voltage sag last week. He was condsrantly emailing this information to the utility and they admitted last week they need to upsize the wire feeding the service. Although I suspect the neutral is failing underground. Either way it’s on the utility side of the meter.
