In this video I do some basic accuracy testing on an RC power analyzer. In conclusion these things aren't the most accurate but they are good enough for basic measurements.

The shunt in the watt meter is dropping some voltage. You should be measuring at the input not the output.

I didn't see your documentation that YOUR test equipment was ISO certified.

100a is max peak and cont is max 50. This is as per manual. Take both still with a grain of salt.

I see that you never tested it while powering it with a separate power source . That is what the extra connector on the side is for. Maybe redo this test and this time power the unit with a separate power source to see if the results are different. I am interested to see if it would make a difference. Great video thanks for the review so far.

life span is short on these meters lucky if you get a month out of them

But is the reliance on the DMMs justified? Where is the traceable calibration for any of them?
@pulesjet
@pulesjet 6 лет назад
Yep. A calibrated Voltage source would be required for this to mean anything definitive.
@Eman2000
@Eman2000 6 лет назад
Not the best way to do it. But yes it is justified in a way. We're testing a meter that only costs $10-20. Someone that is interested in buying something like this isn't going to need it to be any more precise than the factory calibration of the DMMs.

Yes if it is under the 50a 60v continuous its 100a peak

Only rated 50Amp continuous.

It would still melt at 50 Amps, there's no way it would take that continuous.

I need to get some DC buck converters and led tapes. what are the specs on the LEDs I need to run 12 volt led tapes from a 7 cell bank of liion. so there could possibly be 30 volts. I'm just wondering if the small buck converters sold on amazon. good for about 3 a. will work. and I'm thinking about the rc amp meter for total discharge. great ol video. I was curious about the 100a claim. I'd say 60 contentious amps is all it needs. is that 8 or 10 gauge cable used in it?
@Eman2000
@Eman2000 6 лет назад
The cable used on those things is 10 gauge at max might actually be 12. I wouldn't trust the 100 amp claim either maybe for a couple of seconds. LED tape depends entirely on the strip you buy. The 5050 size pulls something like 3-5 amps per strip so I would go for a bit of a higher rated converter. I don't think that 8-10 amp converters are really that expensive.

Ah, a wild gear snob. I really need to put those meters in all of my video. Everyone gets a kick out of them in one way or another. It's a rebranded Brymen meter. They make very respectable meters. Also, I think the word your looking for is keysight now lol.

Any calibration pots inside it? I think the current range may be more accurate when there is 10+ amps going through it.
@Eman2000
@Eman2000 6 лет назад
If there are pots inside of it you would have to desolder and remove the screen to gain access to them. I haven't tested it but you probably are right about it being more accurate with more current.

RMS(root mean square) is an AC measurement and this seems to be a DC METER

How do you know the integrity of your DVM ?
@Eman2000
@Eman2000 6 лет назад
I have 5 DMM's and they all read almost the same. I don't think that any of my meters are out of spec, and the odds of all of them being out of spec by exactly the same amount seem quite low.

Finally figured out that this unit can be used to read 12V battery charger output volts and amps. Source side connects to the charger leads and the load side connects to the battery you want to charge. For this purpose, I'm fine with ballpark readings.

I purchased one of these meters to use Capacity Testing 18650 batteries. Good Enough for me.
