what is the word i am looking for? clock, meter???
I want to install a device that measures the time an electric appliance is running.
for example, how many hours is my Oil Burner running a day? so, what do you call that device? where to get one?

Meter.
Check Grainger, McMaster-Carr or MSI. Also check the Fluke website. You're gonna pay $$$ for something like this. Why not rig up an hour meter like they have on boat motors? http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/6X139 Last edited by Danny_Ocean; 03-03-2010 at 07:28 AM.. |

I think they're regularly called an "hour meter".

Harbor Freight sells a Killawatt that measures throughput and duration for about $30, IIRC. I have one and it's a nice product. It shows voltage, current, consumption.
ETA: Here the product at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/P3-International-Kill-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU/sr=8-3/qid=1161332551?ie=UTF8&s=electronics Related article: http://www.mymoneyblog.com/archives/2006/10/frugal-gadget-save-money-with-a-kill-a-watt-energy-meter.html Couldn't find the Killawatt I have at HF, but here's a different one: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=65731 Last edited by MotoSook; 03-03-2010 at 08:01 AM.. |
