Energy Meter

This energy meter has been designed to be simple enough for KS3 students to use, and flexible enough for more advanced use at KS4 and beyond. All it requires is a supply and a load to be plugged into the meter. For example, a solar panel and a motor, and the meter will display the values of the power and the energy transferred.

The instrument automatically adjusts the display range to show suitable units and an appropriate number of decimal places so that it can deal with a very wide range of values (e.g., for energy: from 0.01 millijoules up to 300 kilojoules). Repeatedly pressing the function button steps through the measurement modes to select Energy, Power, Average Power or Voltage + Current + Power.

• Suitable for Key Stages 3, 4 and beyond
• Simply requires a supply and a load to be plugged in
• Automatically adjusts range to show suitable units and number of decimal places
• Modes: Energy, Power, Average Power or Voltage + Current + Power
• Modes are selected by repeatedly pressing the function button

The meter is powered by a 9V mains adaptor (included).
