Review on Poniie PN2000 Plug-in Kilowatt Electricity Usage Monitor Power Consumption Watt Meter Tester with Extension Cord by Chad Moser

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good cheap electricity consumption meter

The entire basement dehumidifier has been used. The device is well constructed with North American standard plugs and sockets. You can plug it directly into the wall or use the short extension cord that comes with it. It is designed for 110-220V, but does not include adapters for higher voltages. The accuracy is rated class 1.0. Basically this means 1% with some derating for low currents and power factors other than 1 (it will probably be a little less than 1 for most motorized equipment). setting required. Displayable data: EC (kWh) - Total energy consumption. You can reset CT (minutes) - total time. It is not clear if this timer will stop when the device is completely turned off. The 39mA my dehumidifier draws when idle is enough to keep it running continuously. Can be reset Watts - current power consumption Cur - current (mA or A) VoltFreq - line frequency PF - power factor. If you don't know what it is, it probably isn't very important to you. Volt X Ampere X PF = Watt already calculated for you per meter. I don't really want to turn this into a math lesson, but you can calculate other consumption values from the numbers above. For my dehumidifier, I divided the usage time (in minutes) by 1440 (the number of minutes per day) and divided the electricity consumption by that result and found that the dehumidifier uses about 3kWh per day. The power consumption with the unit running is 720 watts (0.72 kW), divided by 3 kWh I calculated that the dehumidifier runs a little over 4 hours a day. It's winter here now so the air is relatively dry, I expect these numbers will change depending on the season.

Pros
  • HIGH POWER METER: Counts consumption in kilowatt hours, with high power tolerance calculated for max. 16 A, compatible with 220 V AC
Cons
  • Protection
