What are power analysers and energy meters?

Power analysers are devices that measure and record the consumption and quality of electrical energy in a particular circuit or installation. They play a crucial role in understanding and managing energy usage, allowing users to identify areas of waste, enhance efficiency, and make informed decisions about energy-saving strategies.
