Hi Rebekah & Dave, <br><br>
That looks like a good meter; I think it should work fine. <br><br>
We are diagnosing a Stirling generator, that consumes wood pellets and
produces electricity, heat and biochar.
<a href="http://stirling-tech.com/biogen/" eudora="autourl">

The machine connects to the grid or an inverter via AC coupling.
<br><br>
It is currently AC coupled to an Outback VFX 3648 through an
autotransformer to produce 240 V. All works well for up to 8 hours, and
then it shuts down on a high voltage error. High voltage for it is around
264 V, and we have never seen the voltage reach that range. The plan is
to put a recording volt meter on and see if line voltage does spike when
the generator shuts down.<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
Drake<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">The Hioki meter amazes me. It
can measure up to 1500VDC, and bluetooth communications to a really
simple to use phone app that records single or multiple channels up to 24
hrs, and exports to pdf, it's totally intuitive to use. <br>
See pg 34 in the manual. <br><br>

<dd>Hello Wrenches,<br><br>
<dd>Does anyone know of a source for a reliable, yet inexpensive
recording volt meter? <br><br>
<dd>Thank you,<br><br>
