I was wondering how you would monitor the amout of amps currently being used on a many 20 amp breaker.
I've looked through some sites and found an amp sensor that you clamp around the cable, which is hooked to the breaker. Then that sensor is then hooked to some control box that manages all the sensors and the lastly that control box is hooked up to a computer and you can see the data. You can makes graphs, etc...
I want to do this and found some sensors, but im not to sure about the control box equipment and also the device that resides in the computer.
Any ideas? Know of any good websites that discuss this?
One more thing, can you make your own amp sensor?
