Varcorder Amp, Power Factor, and VAR Recorder

Varcorder Amp, Power Factor, and VAR Recorder

Description

The Varcorder measures and records Amps and Power Factor. A voltage constant is then applied in software to calculate VARs. The key feature of the unit is the ability to leave it deployed on the line to record readings every 15 minutes for 90+ days. It easily attaches to the line with a standard shotgun style hotstick. Once on the line, it immediately begins to collect and record the current and p
