Hi, I'm looking at having an electric shower installed and want to know how close I am to the 100A limit on one of the phases coming into the house (it's a split property). If I can I want to avoid the cost and hassle of having to use the free third phase to accommodate this extra draw. I bought this clamp meter a while ago: https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-ac-d...V4KRQBh129jYyEAQYASABEgK24PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
This is fine for making instantaneous measurements, but I want to measure over an extended period, of a few days / weeks. Is anyone aware of a way I can log the data from this clamp meter? Or does anyone have another way that I can achieve what I'm trying to?
Thanks in advance for any help!
 
You'll need a data logger, which costs a bit more more than a clamp meter. You might find them available for hire or you could pay an electrical contractor for the service.
 
The clamp meter you have registers the amount of current being used at the time (As you said) What you need is something that shows how much current is being used AND has been used. I suggest you might want to buy one of these Click me (It does require 6 batteries, 3 x AA and 3 x AAA)
