Kill-a-Watt meter for 110-220 Volts

Joe · 2010-08-24T03:43:44+00:00

I'm in California, USA. During the summer, the wall mounted airconditioner probably consumes around 80 to 90 percent of the electricpower used in my apartment.This AC unit has a 220 power plug that's plugged into an outlet right nextto it.Is there a Kill-a-Watt meter that does both 110 and 220 volts AC? I'veheard of a higher than 110 volts model obtainable in Europe, but I wouldneed one that works with the USA version of plug style, voltage, and ACfrequency.Thanks.BTW, my DMM measures the "110 Volt" AC outlets at 123 to 125 volts.--- Joe

Hi John Fields!

it has... more power, more heat. (where should the DC transformer dissipate their +1 or +2 voltage? Not to mention how much the circuitry consume...)

narrow design might make trouble.... Off course, you are right, normally it should not make problems [207V-253V], except incandescent light bulbs....

Please disambiguate HPTB, the hits i got were all over the place and none made any sense for this thread.

Why would you keep rocket propellant in your meter cupboard?

You want one of the magnetically coupled total power sensors with a transmitter to send the results to the base station in the house.
