Empowers You to Save Hundreds on Electric Bills Electricity bills are rising. Now you can cut down on costs and find out what appliances are actually worth keeping plugged in. Simply connect these appliances to the Kill A Watt, and it will assess how efficient they really are. The large LCD display counts consumption by the kilowatt-hour, the same as your local utility. You can calculate your electrical expenses by the day, week, month, even an entire year. Also check the quality of your power by monitoring voltage, line frequency, and power factor. Now you will know if it is time for a new refrigerator or if that old air conditioner is still saving you money. Kill A Watt can help you reduce your power bill and will help find power-wasting appliances so you are able to decide whether it is worth keeping them plugged in. For standard 115 VAC appliances only, 15 amps maximum, 125 VAC maximum. Find Out How Much Electricity You're Using Large LCD display counts consumption by the kilowatt-hour The U.S Department of Energy reports that 20% of our electric bills come from items that are left plugged in when they are not in use, or items that are in standby mode. With the Kill A Watt P4400 we can monitor the energy eaters in our homes and cut down our electric bills at the same time. Plug whatever item you want into the device and it will tell you the efficiency of that item by displaying the kilowatt per hour. This device will help you determine which items are costing you the most to run. The Kill A Watt also calculates voltage, line frequency, current, and power factor. You can calculate your electric bill before you even receive it from the electric company. Test The Quality of Your Home's Power But measuring appliance consumption is just the tip of the iceberg. Because it can monitor voltage (Volt) and line frequency it can also test if an outlet is working, or evaluate the quality of the electrical power provided by your utility company. It can detect voltage drops around the house, help to predict brownout conditions or to make sure a new home's outlets are in working condition before escrow closes. The LCD shows all meter readings: volts, current, watts, frequency, power factor, and VA About P3 International Founded in 1987, P3 International is a privately owned manufacturer of solution oriented consumer products.

Its size is as small as a novel that it will never be too bulky and heavy to take along. With the user-friendly and simple design. One charge capacity is about 20 AA Alkaline batteries. This battery can be recharged about 500 times, so one BX550 battery is equivalent to about 10,000 AA Alkaline batteries.

Actual output current will be variable depends on the devices it powered. If the output of a power supply is maintained at a constant voltage, then the load's resistance determines the output current. It is Ohm's Law. So it will be no problem to use this battery to power any device that requires 5V voltage less than 3A current.

KnuKonceptz KCA Complete 4 Gauge Amp Installation Kit KnuKonceptz KCA Complete 4 Gauge Amp Installation Kit
Sale Price: $26.99

KCA series amp kits have replaced the KLM series. The difference in a new ultra flex jacket, all other components are identical as is the cables size/construction. KnuKonceptz continues to blaze new trails for automotive audio enthusiasts with its new Copper Clad Aluminum Cable dubbed 'KCA' (Kolossus Copper Aluminum). Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) is made up of 90% Aluminum and 10% Copper. Consisting of 29.44mm^2 of CCA the KCA Kable is equal in size to the Kolossus Kable, but is designed for lighter current loads and not lightening your wallet. The KCA 4 Gauge Kable used throughout this kit offers incredible flexibility and a rugged PVC outer jacket that is impervious to grease and oil. The PVC outer jacket can with-stand the extreme temperatures (-40 to 105 C). Beware of "1600 Watt" amp kits that include a 50 or 60A fuse. Its physically impossible for these kits to support this load (refer to our comparison photo) How many watts can this amp kit handle? At KnuKonceptz, we do not use "watts" to rate our amp kits. This is a very inaccurate method to determine what the proper gauge wire required for your amp installation. There are many amp manufactures and not all of them represent the output of their product accurately. Please refer to your amplifier's fuse rating, this is a number a manufacture can not fake, well they could but it would put their product in harms way! Add up the fuses on the end of your amp (two 30A fuses = 60A total draw) If this number is under 80A, this kit will fit your application. If over 80A, a larger gauge wire would be required or use our Kolossus Flex 4 gauge amp installation kit. Visit our website to see a complete head to head amp kit review from top sellers on Amazon vs KnuKonceptz.

Are Energy Drinks Safe?

Need an energy boost? More people than ever are turning to so called energy drinks for increased stamina, alertness, better workouts, late night partying, and who knows what else. It's now estimated that there are as many as 200 different brands of energy drinks in the U.S., bringing in close to 1 billion dollars in annual sales.

You can probably guess where the kick in these drinks comes from. An 8 oz AMP (a Mountain Dew spin-off) has 77 mg of caffeine. An 8.3-ounce Red Bull contains 70 mg. The University of Florida College of Medicine recently found 105 mg of caffeine in a 6.5 oz can of Starbucks Doubleshot. By comparison, a typical 8 oz. cup of brewed coffee has around 85 mg of caffeine.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends limiting the amount of caffeine in a 12 oz soda to 65 mg, but energy drinks are not regulated and many exceed that threshold by a wide margin. Is this much caffeine dangerous?

Since the level of caffeine per ounce is similar to regular coffee, indulging in an occasional energy drink is probably safe for most adults. Problems can arise, however, when energy drinks are added to a diet already loaded with caffeine. Children, pregnant women, those with high blood pressure, or those who are hypersensitive to caffeine should be careful with energy drinks. Since caffeine and prolonged exercise both promote dehydration, using energy drink before such activity is not recommended.

The common practice of mixing energy drinks with alcohol is also strongly discouraged. One is a stimulant, and one is a depressant, and both contribute to dehydration. While many mistakenly believe that extra caffeine negates the affects of alcohol, the reality is that blood alcohol will remain the same with or without the added energy drink, along with your level of intoxication.

Besides caffeine, many energy drink companies have added vitamins, amino acids and other "natural" ingredients, a few of which the impact on health are not well known. Don't forget sugar- a regular 8.3 oz can of Red Bull has 27 grams, or 110 calories.

If you are looking for a cheap buzz, choose regular coffee over energy drinks (unless you drink at Starbucks). The typical 8 oz energy drink will cost more than $2.

There is probably nothing wrong with an occasional energy drink for most people, but they may pose problems for those who choose to push the limits.

Why do 13 Amp socket outlets burn out so easily compared to 15A mp sockets even if there is no excessive load?

In a doestic istallation where house hold items like electric kettle, iron toaster, fridge. TV, HiFi, Computer e.t.c. !3 Amp sockets burn out on the contact holes where the plug connects.

Not sure what country you're in, but here in the USA we don't have 13 amp outlets, (if that's what !3 is supposed to be), the minimum I've ever seen, and I've seen and installed hundreds of recepts, is 15 amp, the better grade ones are 20 amp. Possibly the appliances you're using in the sockets, (if they are indeed only rated for 13 amps, are pulling 12 sometimes 13 amps. Most recepts are rated for a slightly higher amperage than their label here.
