Power analyzer recommendation's ( Fluke )

[Davebones]

Now that we are getting into looking at energy savings I've been asked to start looking at charting the run times and energy usage of CNC machines on the floor . I know we will go with Fluke recorder just wanted some recommendations for what to get . Easy to set up and use . They are asking we get full load amps , unloaded amps , average run time during the day , etc ...

I like the dranetz. In my opinion easier to set up than the flukes.

For your application anything with a usb interface to laptop will work the Fluke stuff is good. Have even used Picotech laptop data logger attachments or low cost 4 channel PC scopes from china for similar functions.
