Greetings! Time to start my first topic on this forum.
I am looking to purchase 4 or 5 AC Power meters for an undergrad machines lab. The minimum requirements are 220v single phase, 20A maximum. A scale/display for voltage and watts are also minimum requirements. The existing experiment these are used in connects to a 5A CT. We only require single phase measurements currently but am thinking of ordering something with 3 phase capability in case it is needed in the future. I am hoping to stay under $500 each, and can add I/O connectors and enclosure myself if necessary. The instrument itself will be powered by 120 vac ideally.
P.S. Need to order from a US distributor.
I'm hoping to avoid solitcing quotes on instruments that are above budget so any general advice would be greatly appreciated.
