How do I measure the watts output from my turbine
« on: January 27, 2005, 02:58:29 AM »
How do I measure how many watts I am getting from my turbine.  If its a meter can you point me to a model # & sales outlet.  How many feet away from the tower can it be.


Regards

Take your volts and amps and multiply them to get your watts.  Volts X Amps = Watts A regular test meter is all you should need.
