Watt Meter KWh LCD display and outlet case

thingiverse

This case is tailored to accommodate the LCD display of a watt meter, as well as an open/close coil (a closed coil can be used alternatively) and a standard US outlet, either single or double. It's crucial to verify the cord's amperage rating before proceeding. The 10A-rated cord I'm using becomes warm during testing with equipment such as portable heaters. Notably, a 1500W portable heater draws 5+amps of power, which is half of what my power cord is designed to handle. Internal wiring also plays a significant role. It's essential to have wires that are rated to handle the amperage you plan to test. Additionally, don't forget to check the switch rating as well.
