A alphacat New Member Dec 26, 2009 #1 Hello. I'd like to purchase a Wattmeter. The requirements are: 0.1% accuracy level in Watt (0.1W and above), Amps (0.4mArms and above), Volts (~125V & ~250V), Apparent Power (0.1VA and above) and Power factor. Do you know any good wattmeters that arent much expensive? Thank you

T The Electrician Active Member Dec 27, 2009 #2 Apparently you wish to measure power as low as .1W. What is the maximum power you want to measure? Asking for .1% accuracy will increase the price. For low price, you will need to buy a used meter such as these: **broken link removed** **broken link removed** **broken link removed**

JimB Super Moderator Most Helpful Member Dec 27, 2009 #4 Have a look at this companys' products: I have used a PM1000 in the past, worked OK but may not quite make the 0.1% accuracy on power. The PM6000 probably does though, for a price! JimB

T The Electrician Active Member Dec 27, 2009 #5 The base price of the PM1000 is US$2250, with .2% accuracy. The base price of the PM6000 is US$9490, with .02% accuracy. You can also find such digital meters from Yokogawa. "Not very expensive" isn't a phrase I associate with instruments like these when purchased new. I have on occasion seen them on eBay at used prices.
