Put a smart card in the symmetra, unless you already have one in it. The web interface will give you an idea of the load on the port.
Keep in mind power-factor vs real-power readings. -Russ _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Travis Johnson Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2006 3:30 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] power draw "and now, the rest of the story"... The power supply feeding these power bars is an APC Symmetra unit. There is no way to get a clamp around only 1 side of the circuit. The other issue is trying to avoid having to take down an entire power bar to measure. :( Travis Microserv Jonathan Schmidt wrote: RadioShack has one for $21: Model 22-602 It's a multimeter with clamp-on ammeter probe. I had one from them years ago and looked like a real electrician's tool and worked well. However, this seems to have a clamp-on probe and goes to 30 amps. For under $21, I might get one...handy, you know. In fact, I'll pick up one on the way home and tell you how it works. . . . j o n a t h a n -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon K.

Hi, We have a large power bar mounted on a rack that powers several servers and switches. It keeps popping the breaker that feeds the bar. Is there any device (ammeter?) that I can measure the amperage draw on that cord while everything is running?
