ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Hour meter??

john...i guess it's time for me to get a new book.the book i was looking at did not have that one.thanks

sparkync..the link that jbd posted has a 240 volt hour meter.

You could always use a current sensing relay on the compressor power feed, and use it to operate your hourmeter at whatever voltage you like. I have used this one with good results:

I think Red Lion Controls makes an LCD hourmeter that runs off an internal battery (5-10 year life, IIRC), and requires only a contact closure for input. One of these with a current sensing relay might be just the ticket...

Thanks nj i hadn't thought of that either i have an application at work wear this will work perfect on a bridgeport we want to put a hr meter on. talk to the boss tomorrow about ordering one.
