Find metering devices
A metering device measures the electricity consumption and the cost of running appliances in a company. It can be utilised when the appliance is in use and in standby mode.
Several meter types
Several types of meters are available, but price and quality can vary somewhat.
If you need to measure consumption of only a few watts, standby consumption for example, the cheaper meters can be inaccurate. That is why you should choose a more expensive meter, such as a SparOmeter, which measures power consumption very accurately.
A SparOmeter costs EUR 40-53.
Borrowing
You can borrow a SparOmeter in many places. For example, try speaking to your local electricity company or asking at the library.
