Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 17:
18. An electrical power system for environmental and ecological optimization, the system comprising:
an electrical power analyzer configured for insertion into a branch electrical outlet, the electrical power analyzer including at least three prongs with at least three separate analytical leads forming at least three lead pairs, and an input receptacle configured to be electrically connectable to a power cord from a device being monitored;
a data acquisition module including an operational amplifier configured to measure a voltage of each of the three lead pairs;
a sampler and digitizer configured to sample analog waveform data streams output from the data acquisition module and output a power draw signature of the digitized waveform data streams; and
a communications module configured to record and transmit the power draw signature of the digitized waveform streams to an analysis module and to transmit a warning based on analysis of the power drawer signature performed by the analysis module;
wherein the communications module is further configured to transmit a warning based on information received from the analysis module about an operational status of the device; and
wherein the received information includes a potential failure risk of the device being monitored and recommended corrective action associated with the device being monitored.
