Released some invisible smoke today, on a inexpensive voltage bucker that had current control too. I accidentally let the output leads touch. Pretty annoyed with myself.
Got the new 'Andoer' wattmeter, and out of the box it read 0.06volts to 0.11v low, and is reading low currents worse than my other wattmeters. To top it off it also is as unstable as the windynation in terms of voltage and amperage jumping around, sometimes. snap on ferrite rings had no effect on the instability
I put the windynation 8awg leads with 45a powerpoles to the circuit board, and am having difficulty getting the plastic cover back on.
The circuit boards of these wattmeter clones are all slightly different. I've had the best overall luck with the GTpower versions
