==Determining base consumption and peak consumption==

Without using specific devices to measure instant load, we can still determine two important scenarios, estimating the base load and peak load through base and peak consumption over a specified amount of time. Measurement devices for electrical energy are cheaply available and can help in making base and peak load ~~determinations~~.

Without using specific devices to measure instant load, we can still determine two important scenarios, estimating the base load and peak load through base and peak consumption over a specified amount of time. Measurement devices for electrical energy are cheaply available and can help in making base and peak load evaluations.

The energy load at a specific moment in time can be indirectly determined by having frequent meter readouts. For instance, reading the meter index with most devices turned on at a specific time and then after 30 minutes or an hour can give a rough estimation of the peak consumption in that timeframe. This situation should not be considered typical but as a clear indication of an extreme case that can occur.
