KILL A WATT TEARDOWN

Come on, folks. If we keep tearing apart whatever that’s handed to us, we’ll never get good things. SparkFun got their mitts on two kill A Watts as well as proceeded to plug them into whatever as well as then dismantled them to see exactly how they work. The kill A Watt keeps track of exactly how much power is utilized over time. The largest tons they discovered was their soda device utilizing 500W (should most likely add a movement sensor to that). They plugged a meter on either side of a UPS as well as discovered out that it utilizes 5W just to charge. On the inside of the meter, there isn’t anything as well substantial. One unlabeled IC runs the whole show.
