SEP Energy Meter
The SEP Energymeter is designed to be simple enough for KS3 students to use, and flexible enough for more advanced use at KS4 and beyond.
It just requires a supply and a load to be plugged into the meter, for example, a solar panel and a motor, and the meter will display the values of the power and the energy transferred. For simplicity, the instrument automatically adjusts the display to show suitable units and an appropriate number of decimal places so that it can deal with a very wide range of values (e.g. for energy, from 0.01 millijoules up to 300 kilojoules).
The function knob has four settings to select the desired quantities to be measured (energy and time; power; average power; voltage, current and power). The meter requires a 9 V mains adaptor (included).
