Mains Monitor by John Becker ============================ EPE August 2008 Keep track of electricity use in your home with our PIC-powered Mains Monitor. This design enables constructors to monitor a.c. mains power outlet use around the home or other premises, allocating ID code numbers for individual sources. Suitable for 120V or 230V, 50Hz or 60Hz. It monitors current consumed (up to 15A), transmitting data via a radio link to a central receiver connected to a PC via an RS232 port. The PC displays and stores the data for future reference or cost analysis. Parts are available from the usual component sources. Please note that EPE does not provide kits but many of the requirements can be met by our advertisers. The latest version of the software is available from http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/downloads.html Please refer to the EPE web site for details of ordering back issues, subscriptions etc. http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk Last updated 10th July 2008 Please check the articles carefully before contacting EPEmag with any queries.
