I'm sure you guys have discussed this on here somewhere, but I cannot seem to find a thread specifically related to power meter recommendations for a 120v circuit. Honestly I'm pretty disappointed with the P3 product, but it doesn't look like there are a lot of alternatives out there. I'm willing to spend the money to get a good quality product if something is out there. $100'ish would probably be my budget though. Side note...based on that 80 kWH I ran through the P3 meter I'm seeing a 0.745 efficiency ratio between what comes out of the wall and what the car displays on the trip odometer.

murphy Posted September 30, 2015 at 08:04 PM Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 at 08:04 PM This is the one that I use for 120 volts, It measures to .01 amperes. http://www.ekmmetering.com/120-volt-basic-pass-through-kwh-meter-2-wire-50a-60hz-ekm-15ids.html If you get it also order the mounting rail. I have it mounted on a square metal electrical box with a plug and a receptacle connected to it. I also have the 240 volt version permanently mounted in my garage connected to my L2 EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment).

bdginmo Posted October 4, 2015 at 08:37 PM Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 at 08:37 PM Thanks. That appears to be a DIN rail mounted unit. Not a huge issue really, but I was looking for a plug-in type unit. We do plan on moving in the next year or two so I might look into this after that.
