Abstract

The DMM card manufactured by MetraByte USA and an IBM PC compatible computer have been used for power distribution monitoring. The DMM (digital multimeter) card belongs to the group of VTS-virtual instrumentation systems. It converts the IBM PC compatible computer into a powerful instrumentation system. This system has been hooked onto the busbars of a multi-cubicle switchboard, which is directly connected to the distribution power transformer outside the building of the department of electrical engineering
