Current Monitor for Indicating Condition of Attached Electrical Apparatus

Abstract

A current monitor is described that indicates a condition of attached electrical equipment. The current monitor can determine a predetermined range in which current being withdrawn by the attached electrical apparatus lies. Based on the determined range, corresponding display electronic elements, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), can be activated. Activated LEDs of a particular color can indicate corresponding conditions of the electrical equipment. The condition of the electrical equipment along with other parameters, such as associated time ranges and other values, can be transmitted via a wired or wireless connection to a software system implemented on a wireless device such that a continuous monitoring and an analysis can be performed remotely. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

1 . A method comprising:
 receiving, by a receiver of a management system and from a current monitor monitoring current utilized by an electrical equipment, values of the current and corresponding timestamps;   storing, in a database of the management system, the values of the current and the timestamps; and   performing, by one or more processors of the management system and using the stored values of the current and the timestamps, a statistical analysis to generate a graphical report, the generated report characterizing a performance of the electrical equipment.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the graphical report is displayed on a user interface of the management system. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the graphical report is transmitted to and displayed on a user interface of a mobile computing device that is remotely connected to the management system via a communication network. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 generating, by an alarm generator of the management system, an alarm to alert a user when the received values of the current are below a threshold.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the alarm comprises at least one of: a notification, a short message service (SMS) message, email, and a social network notification. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 predicting, by one or more processors executing one or more predictive models and based on the values of the current and the timestamps, a current intake by the electrical equipment at a specific time in future, the current intake at the specific time in future characterizing a predicted performance of the electrical equipment at the specific time in future.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the one of more predictive models perform prediction based on one or more of: a nearest neighbor algorithm, a majority classifier, a support vector machine, a logistic regression, and an uplift modeling. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 generating, by an alarm generator of the management system, an alarm to alert a user when the current intake at the specific time in future is more than a threshold.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the alarm comprises at least one of: a notification, a short message service (SMS) message, email, and a social network notification. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, on a user interface of the management system, a feedback provided by a user on a graphic user interface of a mobile computing device of the user,   wherein the feedback comprises at least one of: one or more suggestions for at least one of improvements and errors in the graphical report, and one or more recommendations for performing a maintenance of the electrical equipment.
