    Power usage Monitoring

    Using the 220v EB 6 Europe Power Bar ..
    Can I Graph ..List ? Monitor my Power usage??
    Even total Overall Wattage ??

    I am Aware the capabilities of the 220v EB6 ..Just Does NOT have the Capabilities of the EB 8 ..
    But it Does have SOME ....Right??
    Please Help !

    You can only graph the total AMP output for each Power Bar! you don't have individual values per outlet.

    All the best,

    Kinda but not quite. You can figure out the power used by taking the amps reading, multiplying by wall voltage and then multiplying by power factor (you can't measure this without both voltage and current being measured at the same time. This varies from 0.7 to 1.0 depending on the ratio of motors to resistive loads. Most aquariums are at about 0.8-0.9).

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Thank you Zombie !!

    That is good information!
    In my case ../ specific desire ..
    A generalised idea of How Much Power I am Burning thru with my System ..

    So This gives me That at least ..and that is ok ..
    Yes ..Still hoping for a 220 v Bar ..with full features ..
    But ..With Upcoming events ..( like Trident) hanging out there ..I guess it will .....Wait ...

    Mean time ..I am Vastly benefiting from the Stable environment that Apex affords my Tanks..

    I am Confident to Add Life and have faith it will flourish..
    (Had Several Catastrophic EXPENSIVE disasters... in Past ..)

    Events that Could have been minimised by having an Apex
    And Now I DO
