ONAN Wall Socket Voltmeter

onan gensets, no longer have receptacles

and like you, no idea about the quality of the meter

I remember years ago Onan bragging their voltmeters were built to withstand the vibration of plugging into a receptacle mounted on the generator. I have no idea if that claim is still valid.

It costs more to ship than it's low price.......:B

I do agree five bucks ($4.99) is a good price, Most of those are closer to 25 bucks give or take a bit.

My favorite is an expanded range analog from MFJ enterprises, it has "pass through" and a lovely backlight... But the Kill-a-watt is my #2 (Digital) and another expanded range Analog (pictured above) #3

I use all 3 all the time K-A-W on the inverter (GFCI) outlet, others monitor L-1 and L-2.

Ran across this product:

Must not click place order.....

Nice that it matches the ONAN but I like This One for about the same price and it is a bit smaller than the others.

That is a good price... I have been using this 120VAC Plug-in meter Prime Products 12-4055 AC Voltage Line Meter (AMAZON) that has the GREEN SAFE ZONE printed on the scale.

This is around $17 however from AMAZON...



Certainly neat to have around especially when you want to use your Air Conditioner plugged into alternate 120VAC sources... Mine is plugged in in a spot I can easily look at it all the time before I turn on something that draws alot of watts...
