These data show that peak demand at harvest time is growing each year at Marlette, and off-harvest-time grain transfer, storage and handling energy usage is also growing each year.For this project the on-site data collection needed to be accomplished with a portable, robust andreliable electric power and energy data acquisition (DAC) system. Initially it was thought that asmall portable DAC system using a laptop and custom assembled current transducers and voltagesensors could be developed at Lawrence Tech. But after seeing the facilities and need for out-doordata collection, it readily became apparent that such an approach was not at all practical. It wasdecided that the Fluke
