Reddit reviews Electric Meter

Have the electrician install one of these inline with the charger:

I put one in my garage as I was curious and wanted to seperate out my charging from the rest of my electric bill. 4613 kWHr since April 2, 2015

I haven't tried it, but if your charger is wired single phase, here's another way.. If it's 3 phase, the meters are much more expensive. Just wire it between the panel and the charger.

Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Meter-100A-Volt-3-Wire/dp/B00GMZRXE8 (found this from a quick Google search, not sure if it fits the criteria, but you get the idea)

Something like this could easily be wired into a recepticle providing power to a server.

I was using the power company merely as an example of how power consumption is measured over time.

With the amount of power you got running out of your panel, I'm surprised you didn't just put in a simple submeter like this one:

While I likely agree with everything.... I'm think I'll go with a 40 AMP breaker, 240V, and it's looking like #6 gage wire... I have 30 video cards and I'd like to have them all on the same circuit with something like this:


Electric kWh Meter, 100A 120/240 Volt, 3-Wire, 60Hz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GMZRXE8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_w4yIzb04F603G


That way I can (safely) run everything thru that and have an idea just how much this absurdity is costing me (exactly, I mean, I know roughly, but with an entire house of gadgets who can be sure). I believe the #6 is good up to 40 amps under 50' and leaves me looooads of wiggle room if my meter gives me comfort on overclocking and such... (At stock 30 1080 Ti's use ~35 AMPs including 90% efficiency, so fuck, maybe I can't over draw on them lol)


These are what ifs of course, I'm still just closing on the house who's basement I'd do this to


Edit: would it be better to do a sub panel situation (I have plenty of free #12 AWG wire) so I can buy just 10 feet or so of #6, put the meter on it, and run it to a sub panel, then run #12 from there to an outlet each for a rig each

I work a lot with meters like these. You're right that they are mostly 120V. Poking around Amazon and Google, there doesn't seem to be anything which handles 220V which can just be plugged in-line with the appliance. Beyond that, there are devices which can meter 220V, but they are not consumer devices, cost $100 and up and need to be wired directly into the circuit.

Your best bet would be to contact your electric company, surprisingly enough - many of them have an energy efficiency initiative or department which will help you reduce your energy costs or offer incentives towards buying energy-efficient fixtures.

What about them? This will do it.
