Unboxing an AC Power Panel Meter.
After using the isolated variable AC power supply a bit, I decided it would be nice to have a digital meter readout for voltage, current and power. I could plug in my P3 Kill-a-watt meter but it's display fades out below 100V or so and it doesn't seem to read accurately below 120V.
So I found this nice LCD panel meter with 4 readouts of volts, amps, watts and KWH based off a small current transformer. Product details below:
Model: PZEM-061
