Recently I attached a multimeter to my home’s main electrical feed with a current clamp, and let it log around 24 hours of data. It’s summer and it’s hot, so I have several air-conditioners running (window units; I have an old home). There are my servers (running Linux), as well. And in the evening of course we turn on lights, cook food, watch movies, etc. Given all of this I didn’t really know what to expect. But I thought it would be a lot more variable than this:
This is one of the first times that I’ve used the logging feature on my meter, and there are some anomalies in the data. So I’m going to have to play with it a bit before I’m confident. But in the meantime, I’m just not sure what to take away from this data. I guess I’ll just keep on measuring…
