kill a watt device for more than 15A?
 
Any know of a device like the kill a watt that can measure more than 15A? My father has some large machines he needs to keep track of. Its a standard outlet, but draws more than 15A. Price shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Watts up?
 
Have you seen these?

"Specifications

120 v, 60 Hz, 15 amps

Higher ratings of 100-250v, 50/60Hz, and 15 amps require the universal outlet (UO) version. The electronics in the meter are capable of 20 amps but the cord and receptacle have different ratings. Verify the rating on the cordset you are purchasing."




What's the actual power required by the load??

It seems like these meters will do 20A, but that's 2.4 KW and your wiring
and outlet might get a bit warm and toasty.. :eek:

My breaker box has a bunch of 15A breakers.

Wire two Kill-a-Watt units in parallel and you'll have a 30 amp unit..
