Plug-In Electricity Cost Monitor

Use the meter to monitor and measure the energy usage of any 13 amp rated electrical appliance. Plug the meter in to a powered mains socket and then plug the appliance you want to monitor into it. It also calculates the cost of electricity used and assesses the carbon footprint.
