P4400 'KILL-A-WATT' Meter
I have a P4400 KILL A WATT meter always plugged in here at my COMMS console at my house...

My meter is now reading high AC voltage of 136.4 VAC. It has been reading around 128 VAC here at the house and recently I have started seeing it creep up. I always thought that was high and using my FLUKE 77 work multimeter today I see the actual AC voltage is 118.2... I walked around the house 120V Receptacles and the AC Voltage using my FLUKE 77 meter all read around the 118VAC reading...
I am guess the calibration of the KILL A WATT has gone bad for me...
I made a couple of AC AMPS readings that agreed between the two meters so that part of the P4400 is working ok...
I see they only cost around $17 from AMAZON so guess I will order another one.
I did watch a VIDEO someone made troubleshooting a bad P4400 and he opened it all up and found a blown fuse. I did not see any calibration pots anywhere in the video...
Maybe I should get a different AC VOLTMETER to constantly monitor my 120VAC here in my comms room...
I have one these in POPUP trailer so i think I will order another for use in here...
