Review on πŸ’‘ bayite AC 80-260V Digital Power Energy Analyzer with Current Voltage Meter and Open-Close Split Core CT by Cris Drew

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They work great. good for testers

They work so well that I built them into a plastic panel as a portable meter for three-phase measurements. The current calibration is maybe 5% less than my gun, but close enough. Since these meters can't combine and calculate 3PH wattage, I take the largest amp/current product and multiply it by 1.732 (that's the square root of 3, BTW) to get an accurate estimate of actual wattage. I put switches in the voltage circuit to measure phase-to-earth or phase-to-phase voltage. I am planning to get another set of current transformers from Bayit, install DPDT switches and have a power sensing function on another circuit. The box is a PLANO 6-21 or Plano 2-3600-00 ProLatch StowAway service box. Shut-off strips 600 V inside.

Pros
  • few competitors
Cons
  • poorly thought out
