May 22, 2017 at 16:38 comment added user7559326 I researched power meter datalogger before. I found ICP power meter can log power data, single phase or three phase into computer database. They have different protocols to choose from like CAN, modbus. Hope it helps. https://www.icpdas-usa.com/intelligentpowermetersboards.html

May 15, 2017 at 23:20 comment added D.A.S. but if V is reasonably constant over say 10 cycles then you can compute Rms V and I separately but you must measure the RMS phase difference to extract real power from apparent power. So you see a true RMS meter from Fluke is much better. To my knowledge DATAQ has no builtin way to compute V*I(t) real power only Vrms.
May 15, 2017 at 22:13 comment added D.A.S. RMS power requires that each V*I is done in real time or filtered and sampled subcycle time then averaged between readings.
May 15, 2017 at 22:01 comment added carloc @brhans I'm afraid power value samples need to be averaged not RMS'ed.
May 15, 2017 at 21:01 comment added brhans Multiplying Vrms with Irms does not give you power in Watts - it gives you apparent power in VA. For each sample period you need to multiply the V and I samples to get a power value and then rms that.
May 15, 2017 at 20:21 comment added user3528438 No. Power is not calculated by multiplying voltage with current. Also your current sensing resistor wastes way too much energy. Why not just buy a logger that logs power directly, or a power meter and a logger and connect them together?
