THE MODEL 20-CTR AND ONE METER USES A SEPARATE BASE AND DISPLAY UNIT.  THE BASE UNIT IS HARD WIRED AT THE POWER SOURCE
The Brand Electronics Digital Power Meter accurately and easily measures the real power consumed by any device plugged into it.  This powerful measurement tool helps you determine cost, and power system load, or can be used to equipment diagnosis and development work: 

The Brand Electronics Digital Power Meter also shows you what various appliances cost to operate so you can make informed decisions on their use. 

POWER COST AND POWER SYSTEM LOAD 

A Basement Dehumidifier can use  5 to 35 dollars a month based on the humidity set point. 

A Refrigerator can use 5 to 25 dollars a month and would vary with condition of door seals, defrost mode setting and temperature setting. 

Air purifiers and fans can use 2 to 10 dollars a month - For Example, a Pureflow Air Treatment System uses 2,3,4, or 7 dollars a month to run in speeds 1,2,3, and 4 respectively. Speed 3 gives a good air flow and saves 3 dollars a month over the highest speed. 

Running a toaster oven for an hour can use about the same amount of electricity as running a crock pot over night. ( Compare these to the microwave oven ) 

Waterbed heaters can use over 350 watts per month. You may be able to reduce their monthly operating cost 5 to 10 dollars or more with better insulating and blankets. 

Washing machine operating costs will vary with mode settings. 

Many items use power when they are plugged in but not in use such as TVs, VCRs, Stereos, Microwave Ovens, battery chargers, Power Converters for computers, cordless phones and answering machines. Although it may not be worth unplugging all these items you could use this information to prioritize replacement or even test new items before purchase (or after and return it) 

The Brand Electronics Power Meter can be used diagnose equipment problems. 

Examples: 

A computer won't turn on.  Is it a power supply problem, hard drive, BIOS?  With the Power Meter, you can easily determine if the power supply is working, and how much power it is drawing.  This could save valuable diagnostic time. 

Your TV has no picture. Back in the old days you could see if the tube filaments were heated.  A little tough to see if an IC is getting a few electrons! With the Power Meter you can determine if the set is drawing power, again saving your valuable diagnostic time! 

The Brand Electronics Power Meter can be used for equipment development and testing. 

Examples: 

 Is the equipment power draw within specifications? The Power Meter can be used as an accurate and affordable tool to determine power factor.  The Model 20-1850 series provides direct display of rms amps and volts, power factor, volt amps, volt amps reactive and maximum volts, amps and power, as well as minimum volts.
