I use Kill-A-Watt when the power source is standard 15 or 20 watt. I plug 
KAW into the power source, and then plug Derreen into KAW. Essentially 
Derreen becomes the appliance. This helps me monitor the total load consumed 
by Derreen and prevents me from overloading the source, flipping its 
breaker.
