Hi I’m Devin,
I have a house in Vermont with an 8.6 KW roof mounted solar array that I installed spring 2022, with a wood stove and centrally ducted heat pump for climate control. I just like to have data so Emporia Vue was an easy choice for monitoring all my electric draws.
I only have 100A service to the house as I am about 500 feet from the road (electric pole), and am very interested in peak draw on each leg of my main service. I know that I can see the draw on each leg every second when monitoring it manually and looking at the numbers with Amp as the the unit of measurement, but then as soon as you graph it, it just sums the two legs together. It would be great if they graphed both legs individually. Unfortunately, the draw is rarely perfectly equal on both legs, and if either of my legs nears 100A I risk popping the breaker, I would like to know how close I get to this, and what was happing when I am at my peak. I can download the 1 second data and graph it my self, but this would require downloading the data every 3 hours. Another improvement would be to have a peak 1 second draw for each leg for each day or something along those lines. Additionally, if either leg surpassed a draw of XX amps then send me some sort of notification.
I am considering getting an electric car, and it would be great to know how close I get to using the full 100A service, and when that typically happens to schedule the car charging to be away from those peaks.
Devin
