Introduction
This report identi es issues in your electrical power system. These issues can affect the performance of your
electrical system and your ability to correctly assess its state. Hidden electrical system issues can negatively impact
your business operations.
The information in the report is intended for quali ed personnel who are responsible for servicing and maintaining
your electrical system. Use this information to correct the issues and improve the performance and availability of the
system.
Analysis insights
This section shows high level summary information on the issues found. It includes an overall assessment score for
the health of the electrical system.
Issue summary
This section has summary information on each issue type, including a list of possible causes and recommended
actions.
Analysis details
This section provides device and measurement level details related to the identi ed issues.
Reference
This section includes de nitions, a list of the issues found by device, and additional device or issue related
information.
Note
The ndings in this report are based on a Power Advisor analysis of your power management system data for the
analysis period. The report was prepared by one of our power system experts as a part of your Power Advisor
Digital Service Plan.
Introduction
This section provides high level summary information on the issues found by Power Advisor. It includes an overview
of the type and priority of the issues and their overall impact on the electrical system health.
Overall score
This topic shows an overall assessment score for the health of the electrical system.
Identi ed issues
This topic lists the issues found in the system and their individual impact on the overall assessment score.
This topic shows the Power Advisor tests your electrical system has passed without any identi ed issues.
Overall score
The overall score is an assessment of the health of your electrical system. The score is a number between 100 % and
0 %. A system with few identi ed issues has a higher score; a system with many identi ed issues has a lower score.
A perfect system score would be 100 %.
To determine the electrical health score, Power Advisor runs a number of tests on the power management system
data. A failed test indicates a possible system issue and leads to a reduction of the overall score. The impact of a
failed test on the score depends on the type of test, the type and size of load affected, and other weighting factors.
You can think of the overall score as a snapshot of the health of your electrical system based on the system status
and the electrical network conditions during the analysis period.
Note
The median score shown in the following chart is calculated across all power management systems that have
been analyzed by Power Advisor. It is shown as a benchmark to help you compare your overall score to that of
other systems.
The chart below shows a breakdown of the issues that had the biggest negative impact on the overall score:
Identi ed issues
To determine the electrical health, Power Advisor runs a number of tests on the power management system data. A
failed test indicates a possible issue with the data, the device that collected the data, or the electrical network that is
being monitored.
The following table shows the possible issues identi ed for your system. The table is sorted by impact of the issue
on the overall score, with the highest impact issue at the top.
Note
High priority issues can have a high impact on the system for each affected device. We recommend that you
review and investigate these issues, even if the impact on the overall electrical health score is low.

Voltage was too high to propose an AccuSine Solution. Consider adding a meter capable of logging THDv and THDi
in the Low Voltage section of your distribution system. Ask your Schneider Electric representative to build you a
mitigation strategy.
The following table shows issue related measurement data for the device. Values outside the threshold are
highlighted.

0.837 to 0.955 and decrease your monthly power factor penalty from $183 to $173.
No Power Factor Penalty information was provided. An estimate has been made based on a default calculation using
the following rate: Base Utility - (Default) - Default Penalty Structure. Based on this calculation, your estimated
monthly power factor penalty is $893. Contact your Power Advisor support representative with information from
your Utility bill to change this calculation.

Glossary
This section includes de nitions of terms or concepts used in this report.
High priority issues can have a high impact on the electrical power system for each instance. Non-high priority issues
have a lower impact on the system for each instance. These issues gain importance if many instances are occurring.
Example:
Transformer Overcapacity is a high priority issue which needs to be investigated for each identi ed instance.
Power Quality Metering Recommended is a lower priority issue, which might be a concern depending on the number
of instances and the importance of the affected equipment in the power system.
To determine the electrical health score, Power Advisor runs a number of tests on the power management system
data provided by the monitoring devices.
A failed test for a device indicates a possible system issue and leads to a reduction of the overall score. The impact of
a failed test on the score depends on the type of test, the type and size of load affected, and other weighting factors.
The device linked to the highest reduction of the score for an issue is marked as ' Worst '.
The recommendations in this report are based on the information available to Power Advisor and may not consider other
information that may be relevant to your situation. Please contact your Schneider Electric sales representative for a
comprehensive evaluation.
Before you make any changes to the power monitoring system, make sure you have the proper training and follow all safety
precautions.
