Electricity Usage Monitor in 220VAC Does anyone know of an electricity usage monitor that works in 220VAC?Thank you.

You had best be sure the welder is turned OFF. If its power switch is ON, then after inserting the first plug, the second plug is going to be HOT and would pose a shock hazard until such time as it also was plugged in.

Hello "K" and PeterThank you for taking time to answer my quesiton. I am currently out of the country on a trip but will be studying your suggestions when I get back home.Kind regards,L. Go

Just order a consumer meter made for Great Britain. Google "kill a watt uk". Or search on amazon.co.uk for kill a watt.

Unfortunately, your idea doesn't work as described on a 2-wire 220 circuit. That is, unless you use the bare ground as a neutral, and that isn't really too Kosher, although logically I don't know why. It would be nice to see what my submersible well pump, window mount A/C unit and air compressor are using.

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

Edz is correct,but they do make adapters that reduce 220v to 120v and this will work also and may be easier to find then one that converts to 12 vdc.

Based on a definition I found on line that follows Meter An electric demand meter measures electricity usage over periods of 15 minutes on a dial, with the highest rate of electricity usage over a 15 minute period recorded by the meter. The highest kilowatt use over a 15 minute period during a billing period is recorded until a meter reader resets the electric demand meter. Based on that the meter dial is moving just like a regular meter does, the unit should work. It reads the black dial portion of the dial every time it passes and the more power used the faster the dial goes and the unit calculates the usage based on that and the information you input at set up. I don't use mine to get total usage or dollars, I use it to monitor the usage peaks and to find out what is running and if it should be etc. I doubt that you would get as good a reading as a meter I don't believe this unit to be that precise, but if you are just trying to get an idea of the usage it should work. If you need more of a precise answer, I'd contact Black and Decker. Hope this helps.

No. 110vac only. You might check to see the the manufacturer has another model for 220.

Hi, I have this computer connected to 110 v grid. However computers as this one can work in any grid from 220 to 110 v. The AC to DC transformer can handled both. I hope this helps. Regards

Me too, I really need to know if it is 110v or 220v My house has no power to 220volts, just 110v You know where I could found this information? Thanks!

It is designed to find a circuit breaker in a 220 VAC system. To use this device, you plug in the sending unit at a standard 110VAC duplex and walk out to the main electrical panel. Scan the panel (the circuit breakers on their load side) and then rescan listening for a tone as you pass the handheld device. I am not really clear as to how one would utilize this tool for a circuit board.?!?

Hello! My husband, who is an electrical contractor, is the one who ordered this. He says no on the 220VAC.

I know this won't be helpful, but if it monitors power usage and finds nothing is in use, maybe it does. Even when it's plugged in the surge protector uses power. Unplug everything and see if it powers down.

I`m also in a 220V country, I bought a 47u/400V capacity and a 300V resistance(this is to protect from surge I think), now it works normally. Remember to test output voltage before powering on vacuum....

I just installed one recently. You are correct, this doesn't plug into an inverter. Instead, the meter display connects only to the solar charge controller for which it is built. Some inverters also have separate remote monitors that you can buy. I chose not to purchase a separate monitor/meter for my inverter since I can clearly see the inverter display where mine is mounted.

Have looked at this product for about 5 minutes but would assume they use 120V as a voltage constant. Voltage transformers for monitoring power usually have a secondary of 120V anyways.No there will be no power factor correction with this item, all those products that claim to correct power factor are blowing smoke. You are charged a kilowatt rate at your house, so does not matter what your power factor is your KW usage will remain the same.

The so-called "Voltage Converter" does not convert voltage in High setting. It simply chops off part of the AC signal to reduce the power for heating elements. It must not be used for any 110V-only electronic devices, or else the high voltage stress will burn out the device. See my review for details:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1N5FOA9JB2NA0/

I don't have one, but I can't imagine a product like this being 220 volts. How many people have 220 outlets at convenient locations in their house? 220 is for heavy duty applications. Other massagers like this I've seen were 120 volts.

I'm not an electrician... Lol! And where I live we don't use 220 volts plugs, that's too much! But I'm pretty sure you can use the 120 volt plug, don't matter where you at, it should work perfectly fine for your a/c ad... Anyways, goodluck with your travel and enjoy your Canz!

Hi Im not sure, I think possible the only problem is meter monitors energy consumption, and the other function will work correctly, this is only a switch not a converter, I hope I HELP YOU

no only large appliances that draw heavy current work on 220 anything else burns out when plugged into a 220
