Attention Kill A Watt Nerds

The final charge looks like half of full current and wattage

 

Ok, here's the latest. I borrowed someone else's parking spot that has a different 120 volt outlet. (same DTE meter but different line to outlet) as you can see between the two charts, the voltage is 8 volts higher on the "borrowed person's parking spot." So, I conclude, the sodium vapor lamp on my parking spot is probably defective, thus drawing excessive current ( enough to cause a ten volt drop in line voltage)

 

notice though, the PIP charger maintains constant current in both cases. (11.72 amps average)

 

This is the latest update of my Data Logger after I calibrated the voltage measurement of the Data Logger to my Battery Back Up on my computer and from my Fluke Multimeter. The duration of the charger when it's at half amperage was 18 minutes tonight (cold temps maybe?) 32.5 f

 

The voltage from my previous charts was 104 volts. The latest is 111.0 volts thus giving a higher wattage measurements and higher KWH due to the calibration correction

 

oh yeah, I almost forgot, I checked the amperage and wattage from both my KAW and Data Logger when charging stops and still plugged in 0.03 amps 1.1 watts. unplugged from PIP but still plugged into outlet 0.02 amps and 1.1 watts from the Data Logger .1 amp times 119.0 volts = 11.9 watts Interesting thing tho..........with nothing connected to amp clamp I get .1 amps and 6.1 volts with voltage probe unplugged, I haven't found any way to "zero" the probes.

 

yup, and as you read onward you will find I had to make a cable with separate "hot" and "neutral" wires and clamp the ammeter to the hot wire.

 

found out I didn't need two, so I sold the other one on Ebay

 

there's relatives involved?

 

protoplasmic?

 

this is my next project:

2012 Newest V7 20 041 Mini VCI for Toyota Tis Techstream Cable Software | eBay

 

Oh My! no! just the $25.00 cheapee

 

there's more?
