Meter to log amp production daily & cumulatively from wind generator only.

Hello

My system of solar & 3 wind gens is monitored for amps in & out by an e-meter.  I would like to monitor the wind gen production to determine if my diversion load would warrant being a 12 volt hot water heater.  Would I need another E-meter or a different meter?

I use 3 analog Amp meters to watch each gen but the readout is hard to write down.

Any info & how to keep it from interfering with my e-meter would be appreciated.

Regards

Ed

consider a penta metric from bogart (input and display unit + 1 shunt for each thing monitored)


or

a greenmeter from Wespower. 

both are kind of expensive though, so they may not do what you want for what you want to pay.  By E-meter I think you are referring to what is now known as the link 10, correct me if i am wrong.

Hi James

I looked at the Penta just couldn't tell if it would do what I wanted, but now that you point it out I think it may. 

Yep you are correct it is the Link 10.  I believe years ago they were the e-meter, I just never changed my brain over to current.

Thanks for the 2 links.

Regards

Ed
