Wattmeter for mining rigs ???

[igotek]

I have different wattmeters and different smart plugs with wattmeter function.
I m so confused lately because all of them shows different values

This is the one which i hae been using for 5 years. It work well.

This is the new one i have bought latelt. And this is the startf of the problem. It shows +150W than the first one around 1600W/hour.

For example:
First one shows 1650W, second one shows 1800W

This is the best smart plug i have used. It shows +20W than the first one. But the warranty is so bad. I have no warranty for my country.

This is the worse smart plug i have used. It shows +75W than the first one. It sometimes can be out of order after electrcity is gone and come back. But the warranty is perfect, they send the new one.

I have also several smart plugs which all of them shows different values. I have no any idea which one shows correct values.
There is no any difference if i use lower than 700W, all wattmeters shows the real usage.
Help me to choose a perfect wattmeter.

I'm in the US, but the most popular one and generally considered to be one of the best, if not the best, is this one https://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3U1U6HNHSHAVH&dchild=1&keywords=kill+a+watt+power+meter&qid=1615328600&sprefix=kill+a+%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-2. It's the Kill-A-Watt

The look to have an international version that might work?

Well you can just make a current probe and measure the current on one of your wires from the wall and just multiple by voltage and you will get the correct wattage reading and just throw away the meter which is giving you the incorrect reading.

Most likely the issue is the meter isn't accurate at wattages that high, if you pull less power, say 700 Watts and measure with both, then I think they would get the identical reading. However if its too high of a load, it might get incorrect reading.

Same reason how the KillAWatt can't measure the wattage properly of a microwave. Just shows crazy values.

I ise these on every mining circuit in my little farm.  Doesnt actually pass the current through it just measures both constantly.  Really helpful when deciding can i add more to this circuit.  Look on ebay or alibaba even cheaper...just make sure it covers you power range.  This one is up to 500V and 50A max.

Just pass one of the power wires through the iron core loop and wore the +/- to the ac power on outlet.  Never have to measure again.

Ampermert is inexpensive, but in order to use it, you need to connect it to each outlet in series, and this is inconvenient.
I have power supplies with a built-in wattmeter, but this application does not work in Hive OS.
You can use Wi-Fi sockets with a built-in wattmeter, but this is expensive, although very convenient.
I use a budget wattmeter for $ 12, and check its data with the data from the power supply wattmeter. A reading difference of 2-5% does not lead to a serious error
