Likewise the Kill-A-Watt meter for monitoring AC current (see 
http://www.weemscreeksolutions.com/KillAWatt.htm for $21.99)

I've used this many times when plugged into 15 amp circuits (EG, NY and 
Canadian Canals) to keep house consumption below 15 amp limit. Also shows 
you how bad brownout conditions are (voltage drop to less the 110VAC).
