What would be the best device to use to monitor energy consumption on compressed air system? I am wanting to monitor at what time we use the most as well as our weekly average.
 
mannysaucedo,

Is this compressed air system driven by an electric compressor?

Yes, it is driven by an electric compressor.
 
mannysaucedo,

Metering the electricity into your compressor would do the trick then, right?

That is the direction I was leaning towards, just didn't know if there would be a better option. Thanks.
