Troubles with shorepower
"Paul Cassel" wrote
after shutting off all breakers in the 120 v circuit, put a voltmeter inline with the pigtail to see if, in fact, you are still drawing current. Volt meter? Inline? To measure current? Huh? |

You have a multi-meter that'll directly measure more than a few milliwatts? -- Jere Lull Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |

Mine is a digital with a ten amp fuse on the Amp function. Fluke 87 as a matter of fact. All the professional heating and cooling guys, and the appliance repairman, seem to have one like it. Casady |

To measure power? Huh? :-) Ho-hum....A 10 Amp range is not unusual in a digital MM But a power scale is rather unusual - except the dB scale that makes some load presumptions - that you may be referring to? Brian W |
