Good 👍

[@tennesseetrawlerman2228]

Very well done, and very well explained. Great demonstration of the effect of power factor.

[@rafaelmt1000]

Muchas Gracias, lo pude instalar bien gracias a éste video, con las instrucciones que me había enviado el vendedor de Ebay nunca lo pude instalar bien. Muchas Gracias

[@robojax]

De nada. Me alegra que te haya ayudado. Saludos desde Ahmad desde Canadá.

[@acoustic61]

Good review! This meter seems more difficult to read than the PZEM-061. I'm wondering which one you prefer?

[@nbmeter4723]

Good

[@robojax]

just good?

[@juansifuentes3917]

I have a question for you. I have a poem-061 that I’m going to install to run a generator. My question is, does the red lead wire on the CT is connected on the outer or inner post?

[@MrBobWareham]

Hi thanks for the video I would buy one but want to fit it to the 6mm tails from the meter to the consumer unit so I can read the total house power at all times so my question is is there a clamp-on coil version so that I don't have to disconnect the main wire or perhaps I should just buy a clamp meter

[@robojax]

Hi, you are welcome. eBay and AliExpress is full of such stuff. I have purchased an item with CT (current Transformer) that opens and closes. Once it arrives, I will make video on that.

[@ajaychaudhary3558]

can we use 100A wiring (with CT coil) and 20A wiring(without CT coil) respectively in this same device

[@bmstanford81]

I'm hooking this up to monitor a 240v hot water heater and have both hot wires going through the coil but I get no reading. I ensured the coil is installed correctly and even switched it to make sure but still nothing. Am I only supposed to put one hot wire through? Any suggestions ?

[@moox64]

@Robojax (Yes I understand that) what I wanted to ask is: on screen on the total cumulate " KWh "does include PF ? or do I have to add the PF % to know the electricity bill ? (sorry was not very clear question)

[@robojax]

That I have not calculated. I don't know. snag.gy/AHhRpV.jpg

Hi robojax.... Is ps6s-100 able to work with ps6s-20 wiring (without CT) for measuring a curent below 20 ampere? Thx.

[@robojax]

Hi, I am not sure if you change the CT if it works or not. But it should not work.

[@TheX3ms]

@@robojax o ic... Just curious, coz seem that both of type using a same modul....😅😅 Thx Robojax...👌

[@biehpham8323]

Robo... thank you.

[@robojax]

you are welcome.

[@galactophore]

mine shows the volts and amps correctly and I assume the power factor correctly but my watts always says 0 and so does my kwh. Id appreciate any help?

[@robojax]

You must be doing something wrong or the module is bad. Follow the instruction in the video and it should work fine.

[@drmukeshkumar7563]

WHAT SHOULD BE THE SPECIFICATION OF CT FOR 20 AMPS LOAD CAPACITY? I NEED TO PURCHASE THE SAME FROM MARKET.

[@robojax]

this item is sold with CT together. if you search for this model on eBay or Amazon, I am sure you will find it.

[@23106rs]

Hi, thanks for the informative video. I have a Drok device which has all the same functions as the one you preview. I had a licensed electrician install it but it only displays volts and hertz. The amps and watts remain at zero. After watching your video, I thought that the CT was facing the wrong way so I made the change, but still doesn't display actual amps and watts. We are trying to read a 240 volt 20 amp receptacle. He put wires on the two hot terminals on the receptacle and connected the other end to the meter. We put one of the hot wires through the CT (initially the wrong way as I previously wrote). I have images of the install but don't think I can upload them here? Thanks in advance for your help. I'm trying to track the electrical consumption of my electric car and truck with this device.

[@robojax]

Hi, You are welcome. If it turns ON you did everything correct. The last thing need to correct was the CT which you mentioned you did it correct. There is nothing else you could do. Ether the wiring of CT is broken or the device is bad. You can post the image in this website snipboard.io/ . Once you did, each image will have unique URL (address) which you can share back here.

[@23106rs]

@@robojax Thanks for your very prompt reply. I uploaded photos to my server and here are the URL's. I left them high resolution so that you could clearly make out the connections. I have two of these meters, one at my farm and one at home and they are both connected the same way and both are not displaying amps and watts. When we put an amprobe on the wire from the breaker to the receptacle, we get an amp reading. When we put the amprobe on the wire that leads to the meter (that is on the same terminal as the wire that gives us a reading) we get a zero reading. Is that expected behaviour? We also tried wiring directly from the breaker to the meter but got the same result. bdatix.bm/imagestemp/IMG_1988 copy.jpg bdatix.bm/imagestemp/IMG_1990 copy.jpg bdatix.bm/imagestemp/IMG_1991 copy.jpg bdatix.bm/imagestemp/IMG_1992 copy.jpg. Thanks once again for your assistance. FYI, I'm in Bermuda where we have the same 60 hz 120/240 volt electricity as Canada.

[@robojax]

Hi Richard, I had to watch the video making sure I have not left anything unexplained and for sure nothing was left. I look at the images. your wiring looks fine. As I mentioned before it could be the CT is bade or has bad wires or the device itself. the best option would be to replace it. just checked the map and I only new the word Bermuda from "Bermuda Triangle". Now on map and google photos it looks beautiful. Stay safe.

[@23106rs]

@@robojax Thanks. It's odd to me that both of the meters don't work. Perhaps it's a bad batch. I'll order replacements. Yes, Bermuda is quite like paradise and the virus hasn't had any community spread yet. Just 2 cases, one from a resident returning from US, the other from a resident returning from the UK. Still, most things are closed here to try and avoid community spread. Until the next time and yes, stay safe!

[@nimraaslam6760]

hello sir, can you please tell me how to deep sleep mode on using ardiuno mega for xsec.

[@robojax]

Please check this page: www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=11497 Please reply once you read this message so I delete this comment as this is AC Power meter video.

[@acoustic4037]

Please tell me what the voltage is when measured from you CT terminal to ground.

[@robojax]

It is NOT DC otherwise you would use Arduino to measure it. I did not bother to look at it. You will need a circuit with few components to proportionally convert the AC from CT to DC and then measure it. This Power meter has the circuit built-in that does the job.

[@x.y.8581]

Can this easily be hard wired to monitor AC current instead of using the CT and will it be as accurate? Actually, I'd think hard wired would give the most accurate readings possible.

[@robojax]

you can't use that method for AC. You have to use current transformer to detect the current.

[@x.y.8581]

So there is no way to hard wire a power meter such as this into an AC circuit? Hard wiring would be better for physical installation in a breaker panel as the CT is too large to fit inside.

[@sroberds640]

The watts meter is off around 15 +/- watts, reading should be 781.704 watts if the power factor is correct. If being within 1 or 2 watts is important. The amp reading could be wrong too, who knows.

[@robojax]

I would have to have another reference to know for sure.

[@seregasven4924]

добрый день.подскадите кто нибудь номинал сопротивления r22 этого вольт амперметра.спасибо

[@robojax]

Мне жаль, мой друг. Я пытался найти счетчик, но не смог. Я не уверен, куда я положил, поскольку у меня есть 100 предметов.

[@moox64]

so if i understand... If I have PF=75%, that's mean if I want to know how much I will pay electricity I have to do "My total "KWh" + 25% = electricity bill ? Or the total "KWH" is without power factor ?

[@robojax]

In most countries, you don't pay for reactive power. So you will pay for the 25%. Check with your local electricity provider.

[@EnriqueLUrcia]

Hello Mister. I do have one of this. and I want to built a meter. My idea is to mount this on an extension cable so I can connect any apliance and measure how much it consumes. But for that I would need to power the meter and the load from the same AC power supply (the wall socket). Would that work? or I would have wrong measurements if I connect them in parallel? I am in Germany Europe (230V 50Hz). I a predicate if anyone can answer anything. cheers.

[@robojax]

Hello, I clearly shown and practically did the wiring. Maybe you missed it. if any wire passes through the hole of sensor, it will measure only that current. Please watch again.

[@EnriqueLUrcia]

@@robojax I am sorry I took your time with something was already in your video. I will watch it for the third time.. much more carefully. Maybe the reason of my miss attention ist my 6 weeks old daughter that usually sleeps on my arms as I watch your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time.

[@homedefenselawrence]

How could you compute for the price of the bill with known consumption already based on that monitoring? hope you can guide me tnx

[@robojax]

You would have to know the rate in your country or region for example in our city (Ajax, Ontario, Canada) it is $0.12/kWh at Peak time . If this device shows that I have had 10kWh, then cost=10kWh x 0.12 =$1.20. I hope that helps. Depending on your region you might have "delivery charge" and other cost which you should see in your bill.

[@homedefenselawrence]

@@robojax Thank you very much appreciate that speedy response. I think I should get one of that to monitor my consumption better. God bless you and your family :)

[@robojax]

Thank you. Same to you.

INPUT & OUTPUT NATURAL LINE =3 ,N INPUT & OUTPUT LIVE WIRE 4 ,L AND CROSS LIVE WIRE ?

[@dboser1]

Can you advise how to hookup to 220 vac generator?

[@robojax]

I believe I demonstrate it. Your generator is just power source like wall outlet where you connect a load such as bulb. Exactly the same way I connected the toaster to power, it will be connected to your generator.

[@dboser1]

Robojax So the JST connector can be placed on the two hot sides of the 220 generator?

[@robojax]

Yes. JST is to just get the AC voltage to calculate the power.

[@calculationscienceinstruct1046]

Does it still working ?

[@robojax]

I am not using it. Just used for making the video. But it seems this module is used widely. Specially in China by millions. so it should last.

[@LooZhenWei]

can this one really connect to drone to test the power consumption?

[@robojax]

this is for AC power consumption like home appliances like fridge or aven etc. You will DC power meter like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpjRloFond-Fm5I

Not sure if you have any say in the amount of ads in your video but I was to be subjected to 5 ads at about 3 minute intervals, not worth my time watching your video.

[@robojax]

Can you image how much time I have spent in making this video? You are learning from it and benefiting from it.. On the TV you can't even watch a movie or show without ads that are supporting rich corporations. I am an individual and you want to use and do not spare your 15s for each ad? Amazing.

[@mrbyamile6973]

@@robojax I absolutely understand the efforts made to make and edit videos. I have no issues watching one or two ads before the video starts and will sit through the ads to help out and encourage good content. I have issues when the ads are placed at multiple intervals throughout the video, I just stop watching and find another video.

CRAZY TO MANY ADS, Took Notes of what NOT to buy

[@mrbyamile6973]

@@rachelsambrano5575 I glad you got something out of the video I was so distracted by the obnoxious ads I only made it 1/4 the way through and was not able to get much. I also watch on mobile device with often spoty connections. Every time an ad begins it stops buffering the video and plays the ad (after buffering for a long time) then resumes playing the video only after buffering again for a long time. The ads interrupt how the video buffers making it painful for me to watch anything with a mid-roll ad.
