I just bought a killawatt. I'll fool around some in the next cupla days.
I'm curious as to how it handles power factors.
If it is just calc'ing amps x volts, it's not really reading true watts.

They do read true watts, and are fairly accurate. They also tell you
what the power factor is. So, all in all, pretty neat little gizmo.


Hi,
Then the motor is sick.

Could well be.

But, also note that the Kill-a-watt can get a little squirly if you
exceeed it's max rated current.
