Power Meter

A power meter is a device that measures the amount of electrical energy consumed by a building or appliance over time. It tracks both the voltage and current, calculating the power usage in watts or kilowatts. This information helps homeowners and businesses understand their energy consumption patterns, manage costs, and improve efficiency. Power meters can be found in various forms, including analog and digital versions, and some advanced models can provide real-time data and insights via smartphone apps, allowing users to monitor energy use remotely. This helps in making informed decisions about energy-saving measures.
