Current being drawn on devices connected to power supply

[Connor Mennell]

Hi all,

Just wondered if there was any devices that plugged in line with the plug socket and plug which you can use to measure current being drawn on different devices being connected to a power supply? Just wondered if there was a better way then just using a multimeter.

Cheers,

Connor

Some of the smart plugs have power monitoring built in to them

There definitely are. Have a look for the kill-a-watt style plug-in energy meters they can tell you how much current/power is being used by that socket.
