Power Meters

Strongbow · 8 Jun 2007 at 08:01

Has anyone got any advice on a Power meters (amateur ones only) - UK socket type. I can only find one at ******, it doesn't look like OC do any

I'd love an oscilloscope but that would be just a tad over the top (still want one though!) so I'm looking just for a socket type that can digitally measure the usual volts, amps, watts!

B&Q sold some a couple of weeks ago for 3 quid. Done know whether they still do. Else, an auction site does them.

I got one from the large electrical chain for £14.99. Does the job nicely and i now know what everything in the house that has a plug on it draws.

Just been to B&Q and they still sell them but for £9.99.

Cheers guys, great info!

I'll pop down there tomorrow and get one, even though one of the guys at work showed me a chart of his home power consumption on the web today (homeseer based!) - the big show off! :rolleyes:
