Abstract :
The author describes a system that is designed to survey power disturbances at representative sites across the continental USA. Disturbance data gathered from remote power monitors are transmitted over telephone lines to a central personal computer to be processed and saved in a database for further analysis and study. A summary of the system architecture is given, and special features of programs and data are discussed
