Power Meter for 15 Amp Sockets
The Power Mate 15 Amp is a precise power meter used for measuring the power consumption of larger 15 amp appliances, including:
- Commercial kitchen appliances (cookers, dishwashers, etc).
- Caravan park and boat marina powered sites.
- Many other devices, including water pumps, computer server equipment, and air conditioners.
15A appliances connect to a high current rated socket, identifiable by a taller, deeper earth pin. This power meter can only plug into 15A sockets, pictured below:
15A power sockets have a larger Earth pin
Measure and Uncover Opportunities to Save Energy from Larger Power Loads
The Powermate PM15A has similar functionality to the Power-Mate Lite 10A in a 15 amp format capable of measuring loads up to 3.6kW. In addition to accurate power measurement, it displays voltage, current, power factor and energy. Electricity cost, greenhouse gas readings, and extrapolated readings over hourly, quarterly or annual time periods can be displayed based on power readings at the time of measurement.
