Having a moment

[joehat]

Hi guys, I'm having a moment here but according to the picture rating plate, what would this shower be rated at?

Depends on the supply voltage.
at 230v is 8.7KW and at 240v its 9.5KW

 

[Pete999]

8.7KW @ 240V or 9.5 KW @ 230V?

 

[marc8]

40 amps approximately

 

[telectrix]

9500@ 240V.equating to 39.5A.in real world bet it won't pull more than 32A. element is approx. 6 ohms, so \' 230V, I= V/R = 38A. then work out the kW.

8.7KW @ 240V or 9.5 KW @ 230V?

How accurate are those current measure devices? Anyone has much use for them

You mean a clamp meter?

A handy bit of kit IMO and one capable of measuring earth leakage as well.

Depends on the quality I would have though.

I have a megger clamp meter, it is accurate within 1%.

I know the Megger MFT30 does a clamp meter as well - thats next on my shopping list

my megger dcm300e is 1.2% upto 200amps.

200-250 is 3%
250-300 is %5

this clamp is way more accurate than i need
