I think I *may* have coonfused some people, but first let me say Thank you so much for all your replies... I really appeciate this...
I just think that I am being misunderstood. First of all, this is in a data center (if that makes it easier). The customer has a plug stip going to a 20amp twist-lock plug dedicated outlet above their cabinets. This outlet runs to a breaker inside of a PDU. Each outlet on this power strip populated an we are thinking that they are close to the 20amp max on this ckt but we can not unplug all the equipment on the strip so we need something that can monitor the amperage draw on the ckt. Does that make it easier? From the info I have been given by all of you, I am finding it difficult to decipher how I am to accommplish this task...
