Maplin Wattage & Current Meter

[<jpm.egroup1@xxxxxxx>]

Bought one of these (on-line from Maplin) with a few other bits to take
it
over the P&P limit.  The full order arrived in two days.

Some useful bits of functionality:

Shows the peak wattage & the time it occurs
You can set the cost per KWh & it will display the cost of running
device to
date.

I was surprised at the results, having tried it out on a couple of
devices
in the home office:

*  I have a couple of old Sun 20" monitors that I use with the
PCs.  These
monitors do have a power saving mode.
In normal use they consume 120W (each), in standby, they consume 40W
(each).
I will now try & remember to power them down when I do not use
them.

*  Laptop in docking station consumes only 38W (good).

I suppose I ought to do dishwasher, tumble drier & washing machine...
the
cost of using them may be surprising to me.

Overall, seems like a good investment.

Thanks Doogie, and thanks Stu for reminding me of dv-depot - there was
some
reason I didn't use them when I went looking for the disc - probably
they
were
out of stock :-(

I know you've offered me a loan of the disk before Doogie, but I really
want
my
own copy as sods law dictates that I would want to borrow it again as
soon
as I
returned it :-/

DV depot have it in stock, @ 28 and a bit quid, so am ordering it as we
speak...

cheers,


Tony
