What is the minimum power level (wattage) that this unit will reliably indicate (0.1W, 1W, ...)?

I think it may be .1w because I was measuring a night light and it was bouncing between .4 & .5w, the night light package said .48.

My fisrt answer was wrong. 0.01 kWHrs woulf be 10 WHrs not watts. The instruments resolution for power seems to be 1watt. Currently reading my refrigerator, the meter reads: 118.5 V, 0.84 A, 95 Watt, 97 V-A, 59.9 Hz, 0.97 pf, 6.10 kWHr, 79.15 hours. Some of the numbers seem a little off, exammple - 118.5Vx0.84A = 99.5 VA not 97 but that is only off by about 2%. Not too bad for a $20 instrument.

I used it on the fridge, espresso machine, tvs, small electric heaters. I hope my answer. Is helpful.

Have a look at the back of your power brick (you may need magnifier, I do), it will have an output value saying ___ VDC. If that is 12 or 19 then you should be good to go.

Doc Monty has given the best answer so far. subtract around 40 watts for system operating power ( LED,s, cooling fan, internal heat loss in power distribution ) sounds about right. There is ZERO info included in the package that states the wattage at different POWER settings.

According to the manufacturers documentation, minimum 600W power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 42A). Just search for the model number.

according to tigerdirect 500w is needed http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8573338&csid;=_61

There is no specification label on the unit to confirm it this way but the "user manual" - it's very thin on information - says this one is 1000 watts. That's the best I can say on that.

It is not selectable wattage. It will produce 5600W @ 240VAC or 4200W @ 208VAC.

There should be a UL label on the bottom of the machine which states its watts and/or amps. UL is a third party evaluation group that gives accurate information. Could someone who has one of these machines tell us what it says?

I am not sure. I have previously installed a 1,000W Power Supply. Sorry I could not be of too much help. Regards!

Less than 4 Watts. Exact data found here http://www.tpcdb.com/product.php?id=1999

Note the minimum wattage (60w). If you are trying to switch a single LED light it is almost certainly lower than this figure. I tried this with a "60 watt equivalent" LED which actually consumes 9 watts and it was unreliable and sometimes flickered when "off".

400 would be pushing it. I have a 600w and it does fine. I would say the minimum would be 500w but it really depends on your total power consumption system wide.

I've been using it side by side with a digital usage meter provided by my utility company (SMUD) and it is always within 30 Watts (shows 30W less). Not a scientific test though :).

If you got to pcpartpicker.com and input all of your components, it will tell you the approximate wattage

The description indicates 65W, but it doesn't actually indicate the watts on the cord. It works for my Dell Vostro 1400.

Checked the box, unit and instructions. The only wattage listed anywhere is 1875.
