40 Amps? Is that for a Stove? That is a lot of current. Not really - if this is to meter the supply to a whole house. The house supply has to allow for a stove, water heating, space heating, major appliances, plus all the other stuff. I'd say 40A is actually on the low side for a whole house - surely you Americans would expect even more, with only 115V to play with...?! ;-) The incoming supply fuse is 100A in our house, and the meter says "max 80A" on the face. with 8 bits you will only get a maximum of 150 milliamps resolution. Interesting - what is the usual resolution of electricity meters? |
