Re: Power Logging

jpress,
The meter you link to is capable of 130 amp measurement. You can roll your own solution if you realize that one foot of #10 wire is so close to 0.001 that you can actually measure a voltage drop across the wire. At 100 amps that one foot piece of wire will drop exactly 0.1 volts.
