Hello all,
I wonder could you assist
An End User is having Issues with 2 x IONs (7650) on site since the summer shutdown.
Prior to the shutdown the trends were as expected, different trends based on the electricity usage in different manufacturing areas on pre shutdown. However, since the summer shutdown, the trends are very much in line with each other (see pictures attached)
Also, the monthly bills versus the IONs are showing the same electrical usage on site
Has anyone come across this before and could assist ?
We have asked for a few Simple checks already
1) External Meter to check the IONs - Response "checked the bills against the IONs (4 x individual IONs) and the difference <1%."
2) Have you checked the CTs and their connections - Will be checked
3) Although unlikely that any setting changes has occurred can you check the Phasor Diagram on the IONs - Will be checked

Hello @om1301 , Is it possible, that during the shutdown, there was some electrical work that was done that could possibly account for the change? Loads rewired?
The suggestions you have made are all of the suggestions I would make as well. A difference between bill and meters being <1% is pretty good.
Regards,
Charles
