The prototype’s user interface shows three gauge meters, each corresponding to one of the 20A current sensors (Figure 2).
The colour scheme of the gauge meters serves as a visual indicator of the range of current usage: yellow signifies idling,
green means healthy conditions, and red indicates poor conditions. Adjacent to the gauge meters shown in Figure 2, three-
time series charts are shown, each displaying the respective sensor’s current readings in seconds.
Figure 2: User Interface - Part 1.
Figure 3 shows the user interface with several key features:
• Pie Chart (Left): Presents the percentage of current load for each sensor, aiding in the monitoring of load balance.
• Apex Chart (Top Right Corner): This represents all three sensors within the same timeframe, providing an overview of
current usage patterns.
• Time Series Chart (Bottom Right Corner): Displays past data from all three sensors, enabling users to analyse current
usage patterns and identify potential load spikes.
