I?m thinking about my $25 E, H signal level meter but it?s only 10kHz to 3GHz and measures in V/m and uT/m
Using a dipole antenna loaded with an LC filter tuned to swamp any RF abov e 10kHz and a large loop antenna with the same, I think it?s possib le to measure power factor remotely then aggregate the field measurements t o compare with the power studies to determine which load networks will bene fit from a low Q Cap loading on a transmission line modelled on Falstad? ??s with a delay line network simulation.
AC motors usually draw a bit more than 5 times the rated load current on st art up which when unloaded means it?s about 50 times with zero load , so effectively it?s 98% VAR, or 2% of then determine the cyclica l nature of motor work during the day and the distribution of loads from st eady, variable , start-stop, arc welding , old fashioned HPS street lamps a nd determine which of loads will save on maintenance costs with some sort o f threshold model.
The best tools are the one you know how to use and you will wish you knew M B Hydro?s PSTools (?). It I know Falstad?s web simulator re ally well is capable of good simulations on transmission lines in time or s pectral domain.
Anyways if there was a PO, I could design my idea for a non-contact EH PF t ester.
