Watt Meter

[kurbeks]

Can anyone recomended good but not too expensive power-draw meter one you plug into socket. Preferably one i can buy on eBay or something like that.

I'm from Europe.

I bought one from eBay didn't have a manufacturer. It has an digital display with four blue buttons for the different functions. Can't tell you much more than that.

For example

Kill A Watt manufactured by P3 International
Might have a different name for European market..

Code:

 The factory is the Taiwanese company Prodigit, which also makes 230 Vac models of similar appearance and functionality for European Schuko..

How did you search for it on eBay?

I searched for what you have in the title of this thread    If that doesn't work try power meter and your voltage i.e. UK is 230v.

If you're from europe: the ALDI market (i suppose they're in most of europe) has these meters about once a year, they cost like 7€ (IIRC).

I've been curious about these, are there cheapish ones that can handle 1-2kw power draw?

Does one of your units draw out 1-2 kW, or is that a total usage of our rig? If it's only one unit, you might want to contact an electrician, which should have some proper Watt meter on hand. Otherwise just use standard cheap meters at each connection point, and then add up the usage. That would also make it possible to see the usage of each unit in your rig.
