Must have for generator owners and energy audit,

February 23, 2010

By Tightlines

from Phoenix, AZ

"The Reliance AmWatt is a great little device! It's a must have for generator owners wanting to determine generator load and it couldn't be simpler to use. Just plug it inline with whatever device you are measuring and the two position switch will change the display from Amps to Watts. It doesn't get any easier.

While I purchased this as a companion device for my generator, to my surprise it has been very useful around the office, garage and at home in detecting high energy use appliances and tools. A "Do It Yourself" energy audit if you will.

Buy this...Use it and maybe you'll see a smaller electric bill next month."

"I obtained one of these to assist in setting up a bunch of computer equipment that needed uninterruptable power supplies. Work very well for sizing the systems after additional disks were installed as well as for accurately figuring the amount of power displays, printers, etc would need."

"found item to be very useful when trying to rate items for use with generator and also inverters
had the load tester checked out by a electrican with his expensive tester, found to be accurate.
learned that different items are listed with wrong wattage use on them, light bulbs, small elecrtical things, etc"

Reliance Load Tester - It's a good item!,

July 18, 2009

By HollyforTom

from Butler, PA

"We used this in our home to find out what was taking so much electricity. We thought it had been an older fridge we had in our basement. Lo and behold, an older box fan was the culprit. This tool comes in very handy.

Thanks for the opportunity to submit a review!"

Excellent Electrical Current Measurements,

August 12, 2008

By MobileBob

from Mobile, AL

"I purchased several generators after hurricanes Ivan and Katrina to ensure that my family would have power after any ensuing storms. I purchased this Reliance Amwatt Appliance Load Tester to determine the electrical requirements of each of our many electrical appliances to verify that we had ample provisions for the next power outage. The Reliance Amwatt Appliance Load Tester was simple to operate and provided accurate stable wattage and amperage readings for each appliance. I now have a plan for loading appliances on my generators to ensure that the generators are each loaded within their mid-range and not overloaded providing maximum life of the generators while maintaining maximum comfort for my family. The Reliance Amwatt Appliance Load Tester is a simple and accurate device that I will never be without."

How high in volts or wattage will this meter read?

Details:

I want to test my compressor to see how much of a load it will put on a generator, i need to know this so i can buy the correct generator. It's a 2 HP compressor and if i read some of the specs right, the start up watts for the compressor would be around 7700 watts on start, so i need to know if your tester will read that high. Thanks
