I will start up a thread when I get it. It's going to be great for the Sanyo.
I will move the eFergy current probe over to the oil-burner breaker,
and set it for 125vac and tweak the rates, so I can watch both the
run time, based on the kWh used (at a known steady wattage)
and maybe I can reset the carbon cost parameter to reflect the total cost of the oil burnt..
It got down to 8.1 °F this morning, so I was running in hybrid mode last night.
Opened the free-flow from the oil burner, and bypassed the timer..
So, even at extra cold temps, the house was toasty this morning
and the Sanyo used a pretty normal amount of kWh.
6 kWhs during the 9 hours since midnight. About 667w per hour on average.
Without Hybrid running, it would have been closer to 1kw per hour.
Having the oil-assist running in free-flow saves a bit on power,
since there is no pump involved.
The burner is set to burn 1GPH, but I have no clue what it did last night.
It could have burned between 0.5 and 5 gallons while we slept..
So, putting the efergy meter on the oil will give us the data
to know what the total $ cost is..
