Energy Monitoring

I installed a pair of meters on the circuit breaker panel in the Road House today. Each meter displays voltage, current, power, power factor, frequency, and temperature as well as total energy consumption over time. With one for each phase of the power line, I can also determine how well the load is balanced. When this photo was taken, I was charging my electric car which consumes roughly 40 amps. Normally, when no major appliance are running, the house consumes less than 2 amps. Clearly, this project screams NERD but I am proud of the label and look forward of tracking our energy usage over time.
