Best data collection app ever. Easy to create/edit app. Easy to download data. Low cost. Works every time.
It does everything I need and is extremely extensible. Also, my data can be exported in myriad of formats which means I can use it however I like.
It allows me to manage my field people and plan their work very efficiently.
Great application to use, all who use it have no problems, ability to configure app to each job is ideal.

Notes
Replace any questionable switches
Close Test
Visually inspect the capacitor bank for any signs of problems
Please note any damage or repairs made.
Close all the cutouts
"Close" the bank using the control"
Verify all the oil / vacuum switches closed correctly
Check that the oil / vacuum switches open correctly
Switches Successfully Closed
Amp probe the leads from each cutout / oil or vacuum switch
Current readings
A Phase
B Phase
C Phase
Amp probe the neutral bus conductor past the last capacitor in the lead connecting to the system neutral
Neutral Reading
