Fwd: Take these watt-meters!

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

Original poster: "Terry Fritz" <teslalist-at-qwest-dot-net>

Hi,

DC Cox (Dr. Resonance) gets the 4kW watt-meter and John Couture gets to 700 
watt one.

Jon gets the current things, if he wants them or not, ;-)))   He had the 
best "what have I been doing this last year story" that the rest of us 
can't touch ;-))

Cheers,

         Terry

>This looks like a real nice 4000 watt power meter.  It says it is 0.1% to 
>50%pF.  It even has a built in thermometer to compensate for 
>temperature.  It looks like it is in fully operating shape.  It has a lot

>Next we have a big oversized 10 or 20 amp current shunt.  It has a loose

>as a set just to get rid of the current shunt :o)))

>Here is a nice litte 700 watt power meter.  Looks in perfect

>the AC since it is not insulated), and 75 or 150 VAC in the left.  Rated
