How to measure total power usage in one go?

Post by Noel »

As I have a 3 phase system, and as I'm not really interested what phase is using howmuch I would like to find a way of measuring all phases in one go.

I have the following power meter (see images), and every x seconds the "1000imp/kWh" light blinks green.

Is there a way to use this green blinking puls?

Hi Erik,
Thats what I thought. Lets hope the puls counter module will see the green flash.
I'm going to order one later this week.

Thank you.

I've got this small trick to "reset" the counter :-)
And.. You never know who might be reading this topic. They might even sell my data :-)

Thank you for your input.

1st I need to sell my RFXPwr module.
I've asked RFXcom if I could swap it with a puls counter.
I've even told them that they could keep the cash difference!
Unfortionatly it was a big no on that :-(
