Concur with you need wattage not amperage. There is a 'relatively' cheap method of doing this however local electrical codes may put a damper on this type of project. You put a current transformer on each branch circuit. A 'typical' current transformer will generate 1Millivolt per

Hi Alex, We monitor almost 400 20amp and 30amp 110V and 208V circuit breakers in our data center in San Deigo. We utilize a system called Data Trax which is tied into our Remote Power Panels and monitoring gear made by a company called Invensys. Our power comes from our UPSs, ties into redundant

I'd like to find some small, cheap ammeters. I only need a readable analog dial for current, no SNMP or anything fancy. I'd like to be able to hardwire one to each individual circuit going into the racks. Anyone know a candidate? Thanks, Doug
