Digital load monitor detects dangerous overload

This digital load monitor is capable of accurately measuring load on electrical motors and warning of overload and underload conditions. It has the capacity to calculate actual shaft power by using software algorithms and discounting the motor losses. By measuring true shaft power rather than current or input power, the DLM determines the working load exerted by the driven application on the motor. This patented method of measurement provides more effective monitoring, even when the motor is operating at a fraction of its capacity. Emerson
