Has anyone hooked this up to a watt meter yet to find out how much current it is using? not asking for voltage. I know it is 110. thanks for any feed back, kurt

i am not sure if anyone has hooked it up to a meter, if i were you i'd ask the company direct... all i can tell you is it is very very quiet and puts our alot of fan for such a little unit. my children really like it.

I live in the usa and use 110 so i dont know the answer to your queston, however using it with 110 this unit works perfectly, hope that helps

Not sure about wattage, It's a 2.0 amp like it says. Plugs into a standard 110 outlet

Are you asking how much current this meter requires to work? If so I wouldnt imagine very much at all though I dont have a definite number. Putting a resistor in series with the meter would affect the voltage reading. What exactly are you trying to do?

I am not sure what you are trying to determine. I don't have the test equipment to measure the small amount of power that this consumes. I did plug it into my Kill-A-Watt power monitor. The power consumed after 90 minutes still registered as zero. The instantaneous current and power were also zero. The device reads out to 2 decimal places so the power and current must me less than .00 amps and .00 watts. It is a very low power consuming device, exactly how low I am not sure. It is obviously not zero, just very low.

I have no clue as to the amps, however it is 900 watts and I googled watts, volts, and amps. 7.5 amps is what I could figure out, but I have no clue if that is right or not.

My unit uses 35W and needs AC100-120V which is a regular wall current.you can purchase one that needs more Wattage

Chris - sorry so long for reply, either would do, as this unit only uses like 5.4 amps I think.... I'm actually getting a 1000 watter for next time. Hope this helps friend.

I didn't find the amps listed anywhere but the wattage is listed at 1500 and it is a 110 (115) volt. Amps = Watts/volts or Amps = 1500/115 or 13 amps. Does that sound right?

Watt is Power = Voltage * Current; In this case 12V * 20A = 240W. Anyone, feel free to chime in if im missing something.

The voltage is 120 but have no clue on the watts. I can't seem to find it on the machine plate. Sorry.

i dont know about the voltage but my generater is 8500 watts i dont know how that converts to volts but i dont have a problem and i am using the 220 side funny u would bring this up i used mine over the weekend i have mine set up to run the whole house and it works perfect.

according to the home depot website, it's 120. volts, doesn't list wattage specs. i am on vacation now but could look at it when i'm back in 2 wks if you're still interested.

This is a frequently asked question. The voltage was apparent, however the amperes was guess work and I got the 50%-50% choice wrong. I emailed the seller and they replaced it no charge so I used the other wire. The meter has worked flawlessly for several months.

No idea. I never had a problem on a 15 amp circuit. Who goes around measuring current on whatever devices they plug in? Kind of a pain, what?

Usb is 5Volts with .5A maximum draw. My multimeter won't even measure the current it's drawing so I'm not sure the exact wattage. So by using the above figures... 2.5 watts maximum although I guarantee it's definitely less than that. Hope that helps. The actual unit itself has no power listing so that's all I can figure for that.

Thanks Peter;I'm interested in your approach - but can't follow your text description. Could you provide a 'diagram'???I also have EE background - would like to try metering my clothes dryer(220VAC).BTW - do you have a recommendation for a 'whole house' WAM?? preferably with logging, USB capabilityRegards,WT
