Default Another electricity use tracker

Hi,
Another power tracking option is the TED -- it tracks power usage using two small current transformers installed in the breaker box. These wirelessly transmit usage to a TED base unit that sits wherever you like -- it gives instantaneous power use and tracks power use over time. There is also PC software that lets you download and analyze on a PC.

If you don't mind poking around in your breaker box, you can also move the CT's so they track an individual circuit (as in only the dryer for example).

The software on mine was hard to install, but after getting over that it has worked fine. I would like to go through and track each circuit in the house for a few days to see if I can find where our base 300 watts that seems to be there all the time is really going. Kind of a circuit by circuit audit.

T.E.D. : Electricity Monitor, Energy Monitor, Power Monitor
