Post Subject: “Kill-A-Watt” Electric MonitorPosted by Romy the Cat on: 8/8/2007
Ok, it does not have a direct relation to the quality of electricity but I think you might like this little toy, as it is very useful during our electricity straggling. It is very small device that plugs pass-through to your load and this device:
1) Fuse 15A
2) Shows Voltage with .1 precision.
3) Shows Current with 0.01 precision.
4) Shows Power in W and VA
5) Shows Frequency with 0.1 precision.
6) Show Power Factor with 0.01 precision.
7) Calculates consumption… that was something that I did not I care.
What is very remarkable about this little piece is that it shows everything VERY accurately, I tested it. Also and it is remarkable convenient to use. It is relatively fast refreshing and it is possible even to see the peak current/voltage draw…
OK, here is the punch line: this little gismo costs $21 – long live the Republic of China! I am sure that tomorrow some kind of audio-writing whore will change the label on the “Kill-A-Watt” to “Perfect Watt” and price from $21 to $399 and will write long sentences, convincing you that the “Perfect Watt” also “widen soundstage and increase resolution”. Until then you can get it for $21, not for sonic reasons (I never cared to listen it) but to get a cheap and very convenient power measuring tool.
