Hi:
I would like to help my brother to monitor his installation (3 phase installation)
I have the following from my previous home installation:
1- emontx v2
1- AC/AC power adapter
1- 5V DC mini USB adapter
1- 100A max clip-on current sensor CT
1- EmonGLCD
So far:
- I have bought 2 additional (100A max clip-on current sensor CT)
- I installed the following schetch in the v2 (emonTx_CT123_3Phase_Voltage)
Questions:
- Is there something to be installed in the EmonGLCD to show "3 phase data" ??
- Shall I use the same emonCMS as I used in my home installation?
Thank you so much in advance for your help,
Francesc.
Re: What would I need in a 3 phase instalation to monitor:
As far as I can recall, no-one has published a 3-phase sketch for the GLCD, so you will need to write your own sketch (more likely: modify an existing sketch) to show the 3-phase information. There is a description of the "standard" sketch here: https://github.com/openenergymonitor/EmonGLCD/blob/master/SolarPV/SolarP... which should help you. If you have difficulties, you can get help in these forums.
You can use the same emonCMS, or you can make a fresh start. If you are using emoncms.org, you might want to create a new account. If you have emonCMS on your own server, you might find it easier to modify it to handle the extra information.
