tektronix PA1000 power quality analyzer $3200
kilo watt: $25
think that answers the question. Kilowatt is a good qualitative tool, good for troubleshooting, giving reasonable info to help.
want to troubleshoot a problem: $25
want traceable accurate verifiable results, that's another $3K
do you need that? likely not.
I could have easy access to the PA1000 if I wanted it. But in reality for what I need for analyzing power issues I have the Kilowatt does what I need.
