Home Energy Monitor
PART NO.
This project will allow the monitoring of AC voltage and current for an entire home. The data collected is then used in calculating Real
Time KW usage, KHW, RMS AC Voltage and Current, and power factor.
Enter the cost per KW from your electric bill to check if the power company is accurately measuring your POWER USAGE! It's very
interesting to visualize how appliances operate and can detect if one needs to be replaced or not working properly.
This is a great project to learn more about your power usage in the home and what appliances or people in you household that use
the most electricity.
Time Required: 12 hours depending on experience
Experience Level: Intermediate
Required tools and parts:
Can use the custom PCB and only have to solder components to sensor board
or can use a protoboard and wire wrap components.
Also Will Need :
PIC16F88 firmware to operate sensor board.
PC software to interface with sensor board.
Soldering gun: 129040 Solder:94570
